Education is useless if your teacher is an idiot
Remember this is coming from Jack Valenti, the man who
compared VCRs to the Boston Strangler and tried to kill off the
MPAA's biggest moneymaker in its infancy.

---File the law suits and let mom and dad deal with correcting
their children after they pay off the settlement...---

Fascinating phrasing here No Ax. I note that you tacitly admit
that none of these lawsuits will ever be allowed to come to
judgement, and that like the RIAA, the MPAA is too smart to ever
let a judge or jury rule on their legality, or the worth of the
product.
