There was a lot of shocking information within the video. The two things that I found most shocking was that the grandma was sued for what her grandson downloaded and the story about the student whom was expelled for joining the facebook group about the police officer. I cannot imagine having something like that on my record, it is a really scary thought. The worst element of the video though, was the stories about the girl and guy whom were killed. Those pictures he showed while saying if we did not want them to see us in bikinis or stripping, then do not put them up there, were horrible. Those ugly pieces of the video were definitely the most impacting. The new things I learned were from the music and movie theft portion of the video. I could not believe they can still charge for the whole amount of the CD and even worse, how dishonest the RIAA has been about whom they are targeting. I understand the RIAA is trying to protect the rights of celebrities, but they do not have to be so dishonest about how they do it. The RIAA came of as villains in the video, which I would have never suspected. My favorite part of the video was the dolls they used to give visual credit to the video, as well as the pictures from actual college offenders. The video was so funny and the speaker had amazing speaking skills. I really wish I could have seen this in person, because it was hard to see everything on the screen. Maybe someday I will be able to catch it.
