How's this.

Opening Scene: Large print notice of school policy regarding software
piracy fills screen. "OFFENDERS WILL BE EXPELLED"

(Camera pans to one side to reveal an unlit computer science classroom
except for the glow of a single CRT. Dark shadows lurk in the glow of
the monitor)

VOICE 1: Shhh, hey man, come on. Can't you burn that CD any faster?

VOICE 2: It's almost done. Just hang on.

VOICE 3: Yeah, but you got to make mine next and we're almost out of
time. I need that copy of Office so that I can get my report done next
week. 

VOICE 1: I want the new operating system update. He he, I'll never have
to pay Norton for their Anti-virus service again. This is great man
where did you get all this software from?

VOICE 4: Shhh, keep your voice down. I downloaded over the Internet of
course. With Peer to Peer technology there is a world of software, music
and movies at your disposal. And it's all free. People are really dumb
to be spending money on this sort of stuff. I haven't paid for software
in years.

VOICE 1: Is it done yet?

VOICE 4: Yup, here ya'go. (Hands voice 1 a CD)

(Lights suddenly come on and a teacher and the principal come in with
stern expressions on their face)

PRINCIPAL: A'ha caught you. What are you boys doing in here?

VOICE 1: Ah sorry sir, we were just leaving.

(Long pause, boys try to make for the door, but are blocked by the
teacher)

VOICE 1: (after another long pause) Oh sorry.... Err. here's your copy
of Ubuntu back. (hands original CD to teacher and all 4 run out the
door)

TEACHER: (Yelling) Next time don't come in here during recess without
telling a teacher first. (softer) Well, at least they're sharing some
good software.

ANNOUNCER VOICE OVER: Ubuntu, Software for humans.... All of them.
		Copy....
		share....
		enjoy....
