Happens all the time in college--a skeezy guy lures a girl to bed so he can teach her how to download mp3s. Afterwards, the arrival of an unexpected visitor leaves her wracked with guilt and shame, while he goes on to corrupt more innocents.

That's one of the plot lines in The Case of Internet Piracy, the first issue of Justice Case Files from the National Center for State Courts. It's basically an updated version of nineteenth-century morality tales. The piracy plot echoes the fallen woman trope; the eminent domain story is a variant on the innocent-threatened-by-heartless-greed.
