Throughout the whole interview, Mamatas was very calm and honest. Nick seemed overly okay with the fact that he was helping college students cheat their way through class. Bob Garfield even asked him if he felt any guilt helping these students cheat. Mamatas said no because he thinks they got theirs in the end of it all.
Hearing Mamatas' opinion does not change my opinion on his work at the paper mill. I still think the work is sleazy and dishonest, and Nick wasn't helping anyone. I still think the students buying those papers were doing nothing but cheating themselves of an education.
However, hearing Mamatas' opinion rather than seeing it, might have a different effect on other viewers. Nick's calm and collected attitude on the subjected may have people thinking that it's not such a bad thing. They may also think Mamatas doesn't take plagiarism or cheating seriously.
