I am an Ohio University student and incidentally, my internet was shut off YESTERDAY for seeding Adobe Creative Suite 2 and a couple movies. They told me I needed to delete the files, and then call them back. I called them back and they basically told me that I might get in trouble if I get caught again and gave me my internet back.
One thing to pay attention to is that this is NOT the Boy Scout of America, rather "Boy Scouts of Los Angeles" and that it is a "merit patch" instead of a merit badge. The Boy scouts have an official list of merit badges that have to go through a long process to become official, so this is nothing more than a Los Angeles based program to teach kids about piracy.
The computers merit badge (which I earned while still in scouting) does have a discussion point that states "Is it permissible to accept a free copy of a computer game or program from a friend? Why or why not?" but that is it. The computers merit badge is highly outdated though, with something that looks akin to an Apple 2 on the badge

Am I the only one who rad the headline and thought: "Also, I can kill you with my brain."

Turns out PeerGuardian 2 never started up. Oops.
I play Fallen Sword merely to waste time...
It's about the most fun I have had with a browser based MMORPG...
