While I do admit that the poster may have a point, I have to point out one major flaw his example:

If you look at the Top100 artists, albums or downloads, you'll inevitably see the effects of all those marketing dollars the big record labels are chipping out.

Filesharing as a means of promoting new artists is at it's infancy, there's just not enough mass to compete with millions of $ in marketing budget.

Well, I'll have to chip in my 2 eurocents and plug my own alma mater in Finland, TKK. The last I looked, it too was part of ISEP (or at least it offers the ISEP program to students). All (or almost all) of our graduate courses are lectured in English and those that aren't can still be taken in English through special arrangements.

Not that Luleå is a bad choice at all. My sister is going to go there for an exchange in 2010.

In Finland and Sweden the tuition costs are only nominal (< $100/year).
