Maybe not, but internationally?

Yeah, I get the distinction between a few kids in study hall versus the masses on the Internet. But nobody did anything except post a video of this kid doing stuff. Actually, my opinion has changed a little after reading this article which fills in some data that the Wired story doesn't, mainly the fact that the video was stolen from cabinet at the high school. I didn't follow this closely in the beginning and thought the video was found on the web somewhere like on the kid's own web page or something. If that were the case, I'd have no sympathy. I guess the stolen tape element makes it more of a criminal act.
