There might be an educational exemption to copyright for showing it, but the media itself was illegal.

Bootlegging music and film is theft. Any attempt to rationalize it is moral relativism. And, those AV films you saw in HS were paid for by the School District.

This parent did the right thing by exposing the 'lesson' that small theft is acceptable.

Yes there is, it's called fair use and is well supported by court decisions and precedent.
