“In the real world, we learn to control desire, postpone needs, and resist temptation. This lesson also applies to the digital world. Stealing is wrong and punishable,” it adds.

Yeah these chumps are total tools that'll just boost piracy even more. How do you fail this hard at talking to kids? If you tell a teen to "postpone needs," you don't deserve to be around teens.
