So if I was a teenager reading about this I would immediately go to my school and start pirating shit.

Hell, I’m tempted to go to starbucks with a laptop and use their open wifi. I would go everywhere with an open network who runs a business I have even a minor disagreement with and download Sony music shit specifically. Granted in the long run this just kills free wifi for everyone but in the short run it would be funny when these businesses have their internet shut off.
