    "Hi kids, today's topic is copyright law and how we're allowed to copy anything we like because we're a multi-billion dollar company and can afford more lawyers than God, while you're just a schlep at a computer who's going to have their ass sued and thrown into jail.

    By the way have you heard of Google books....that's right if you can't find it at a used book store, chances are we've copied it to put online.

    So remember kids, don't infringe copyright. Let us do it for you, and enjoy the ads!"
