Line 5:
''And the shame would leave a permanent scar''
''Cause you start out stealing songs and [[Slippery Slope Fallacy|then you're robbing liquor stores''
''And sellin' crack and runnin' over school kids with your car!]]''
|[["Weird Al" Yankovic]]| [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}zGM8PT1eAvY "Don't Download This Song"]}}
If you're watching television, it doesn't matter if the characters are drug-smuggling, whore-mongering, granny-beating, world-destroying murderers: the illegal downloading of movies and music [[Even Evil Has Standards|is guaranteed to morally offend them]]. Any good character who doesn't fall in with this philosophy will [[An Aesop|learn his lesson]] by the end of the episode. Expect physical theft to be used as a comparison and/or a plot point. That said, both sides of the debate are rife with [[The War On Straw|inaccuracies and strawman statements]]. There are much more nuances to the matter and to the sides than often given credit for.
