Nonprofit distributes file sharing propaganda to 50,000 students

This unprofessional, inaccurate tripe makes Jack Chick look good. At least Jack uses spell check. I’m no expert, but I think file sharing is a civil, not a criminal, offence. But, hey, it’s put out by some nonprofit organization so it can’t be wrong!
