Warner CEO Admits His Kids Stole Music

IAmTheDave writes "Warner Music CEO Edgar Bronfman admitted that he was fairly certain that one or more of his children had downloaded music illegally, but despite this direct admission of guilt, no lawsuits are pending. Surprised? Bronfman insists that, after a stern talking-to, his children have suffered the full consequences of their actions. 'I explained to them what I believe is right, that the principle is that stealing music is stealing music. Frankly, right is right and wrong is wrong, particularly when a parent is talking to a child. A bright line around moral responsibility is very important. I can assure you they no longer do that.' I wonder if all of the people currently being sued/extorted can now just claim that they 'no longer do that.'"

Thank god for a more sensible drinking age (of 19). Frankly, I'd just favour stronger moving violation penalties. Get caught speeding, suspended license for a month. Get caught drunk driving, license suspended for life, etc... None of this "oh well, he was doing 90 in a 55 but it was exam week so we'll just give you a fine and let you on your way" bullshit...

Driving != right, so get over it.

Also other offenses

Cutting people off, death. High-beams on in the city, DIAF death. Running a red, entrance in the marines.
