I turely believe that students learn from their parent about right and wrong. Today parents think nothing of renting and copying DVD's and students see this they see nothing wrong. Teachers can instruct about downloading being illegal and against copyright but if it not enforce and not done at home it is an uphill battle. We are also upagainst sellers of bootleg materials.
