I’m just joking about beating around the bush, of course, since that’s what me and the students kept doing in class. The classroom has a zoom room camera and I kept winking at it when we talked about pirating games and music. But we’re also the only ones who see the video so it’s unlikely to get us in trouble, even if people cared.

Also instructors (and academics in general) pirate the fuck out of things. It was even mentioned in my orientation when I went to grad school, haha.
