In 2008, the Recording Industry Association of America spent over sixteen million dollars suing their customers for breach of copyright. The return on this investment? $391,000.
This follows similar numbers in 2007 ($24 million for $500k) and 2006 ($22 million for $455k). Suing potential customers, it would seem, is not a profitable venture. But I’m sure it must be winning them lots of friends and good press.

1. Why are all these children lumped together in a single class? How does being diabetic constitute “special needs” in an educational environment?
2. Does this teacher understand the difference between teaching and yelling? Is important to yell at a diabetic? Is it useful to yell at an autistic child? Is there a purpose to yelling at children with heart problems?
