I agree, he should write ten letters about how piracy is bad--because it's against maritime law, deprives the shipping company of real goods and profit, and puts many sailors at risk.

Omg, he should totally do that. That would be incredible.

Over the holidays I showed my friend how to install and run a bittorrent client. Today, he got in trouble at his university (because a corporation wrote them a letter) and has to write 20 people at his university on why pirating is bad.

so he has to write to these people? is this the punishment the corporation thought of??

Pure speculation, but my guess is that the university gave that assignment to him as punishment. The corporation probably e-mailed the university saying user at IP xxx.xxx.xx.xx is distributing blah. I could be wrong, but the university probably did not divulge his personal information, and the corporation might be inclined to give a more severe punishment if they felt it was worth the effort to find out who he was.
