TEACHING BY EXAMPLE: The Los Angeles Unified School District
faces $5 million in fines for illegally copying computer
software. Acting on a tip, the Business Software Alliance
audited the school's computers and found 1,400 pirated copies
of applications such as Microsoft Word and Adobe Photoshop.
School Board member David Tukofsky whined that the software
companies should leave the giant California district alone,
ignore the copyright violations and instead give the district
"an offer of training, reconciliation and understanding." (New
York Times) ...People who wonder "Why can't Johnny read?" may
now wonder instead "Why doesn't David know it's wrong to
steal?"
