I remember back in my day the elementary and high schools would show part or all of various famous movies as arts appreciation. If kept to a reasonable proportion that is not a problem. The big problem here was the bootlegging. There might be an educational exemption to copyright for showing it, but the media itself was illegal. The picture has not been officially released on media meant to be played by the general public.

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.
Exactly. The message that teacher taught was so wrong.
