You need to make your mind up, "Dont promote piracy. Not openly
atleast." suggest you think it's ok in private. Perhaps you meant to
say "Dont promote piracy." Which would suggest youre whiter than white

software or hardware that might only be used for one class, don't you
think?

Of course they have TC installed, that's why he said "I want to use
the same editor, with the same rules and settings, as the one I use at
school".
