It's targeted at teenagers; you can bet that these little contrarian assholes will fire up a torrent client right after the first lesson. And what's more, they'll even educate them on malwares! Big win for piracy in Denmark 🤓
I don't know why I worry. Kids are practically immune to bullshit. It's always adults who repeat their crooked leaders' lies.
Kids naturally wants to know about things, they will question everything.

You could argue that the point is proved with this. Kids are not listening to adults' advice. Kids just suck at listening in general.
Touché. That was some weapons-grade bullshit right there.
In the U.S. circa 2016, so many kids were just finding pirate streaming sites for movies and such during class on school computers. I imagine it's similar elsewhere for students who've finished their work and are bored, but boy, now they have the knowledge of how to get countless other types of media for free.
Piracy is a service problem. The goal shouldn't be to indoctrinate our youth to avoid it, it should be to stop releasing subpar, overpriced products.
