School fight videos: Good?

They are extremely disturbing to watch, but the fact that parents and school officials can now find and watch them may be a good thing. The question is, are the fights being recorded more (and posted in social-networking and video-sharing sites), or are there more fights? "Videos posted of violent and deliberately staged high school fights have been around for a while. The first surfaced from a school in Orangeville. But [Toronto's] CityNews has since found more - including one from Toronto and another from Barrie," CityNews.ca reports. It quotes one student as saying these deliberate, consensual fights are not "fight clubs" but "competitions."
