I'll believe that when they (a) join OIN or something equivalent or (b) grant a free license to those behaving in a civilized manner (developing free software, not suing around for patents, etc).

Up to then I'll consider them borderline trolls, regardless of whether "the lawyers told them to do so" (what a lame excuse, FFS!).

I can't recall a single instance in my life when I had to apply any sort of chemistry-based knowledge.

Let's apply that same logic to computer programming. How often are these kids going to be interacting with computers in their lifetimes? Might it not be handy to understand how those computers work, and perhaps even know how to write scripts to automate tasks, for instance? Which of the two knowledge or skill sets (programming or chemistry) is more likely to have a direct impact on these kids lives?

TL;DR version: nowadays, computers ARE fundamental.

Doesn't the car have a brake pedal? Maybe the driver shouldn't have a licence?

And don't forget that technology is a now a central part of how such music is created

Thank you for the reminder! I did nearly forget!

10/10 troll! Bravo. You almost had me convinced that you wanted to look like one of those pieces of shit. Their kind are liars and thieves. They have destroyed their own home so they are now invading the US. About 20% of my coworkers are one of their kind now. They steal everything.
