I tell them about the educational pricing, and I ask them how they would
like it if someone stole their work without paying for it ---- but ...
if they're using Avid.... They're all supposed to take an ethics course

The one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that NONE of them
know about educational pricing for Avid. They ALL assume it's a $2000
program.
