The problem is that most people will think of rapists and pedophiles when they hear "sex-offender", even if the vast majority ends up being just drunk guys who had to pee.
That must be one hell of a flash, if he managed to disturb someone who probably wasn't even in the same building!
Also, what you are talking about has nothing to do with this. If I get thrown out because of my drunken River Dancing, I still expect to be allowed to post the video of it without the Library crying copyright-foul.
But in that case they would just revoke the license instead, wouldn't they? All of a sudden you're not sitting on an unsupported OS, you're sitting on an illegal copy of an unsupported OS.
I would think it easier to just not have any direct presence in those countries. Although I don't know to what degree US courts would honor these messed up rulings and enforce them locally.
The problem isn't with the 0.1%, it's with the 99.9% that look the other way. When they don't demand that the 0.1% get's fired, they become part of the problem.
Unions in general, yes. But, at least according to my infallible sources (TV-shows), the Police Union (which I know remember isn't a thing) are supposed to defend their members in these circumstances.
I may have flawed logic, but at least I have it. I think.
Please excuse my utter lack of understanding of how these things work, but what exactly is a "bootleg of a concert"? Is it some fan filming the concert? Or is it a "pirated" copy of an official filming?
'Cause in the first instance, wouldn't that fan own the copyright?

No Tim, it's aimed at reminding travelers that there are Bad People out there that will Kill You if you don't let the government do whatever they want, For Your Safety. And also Think Of The Children (unless an agent is groping said children at the time, then you should think about The Flag for a couple of minutes).
The money was used as it was supposed too, I guess. The problem is that TSA has already managed to convince Congress that they should have all the money, so they just can't find anywhere to actually spend it anymore.
