Brainwashing Children With File Swapping Ethics?
[COLOR=royalblue]"According to the New York Times, the movie/record industries are taking their concerns about P2P file sharing into the classroom (free reg. req.) Among other activities, they are planning to play a game called 'Starving Artist' with 5th-9th graders, where students come up with an idea for a record album, cover art, and lyrics only to be told by teachers that the album is already available for download for free."[/COLOR]
The first reply on the thread says it all:
[COLOR=royalblue]I think I'm going to brainwash little kids too. We'll play a game called "Let's sue 12-year old girls!"[/COLOR]
This whole thing started as annoying. Then it became worrying. Then maddening. Then infuriating. But now... now its just sort of odd. One wonders what new, strange and wonderful feat of insanity will be next. Asking President Bush to exile P2P file swappers from US soil? The death penalty? Who knows....
In a world where you can be spat on in the street for the color of your skin, one would think that the time in classrooms would be better spent teaching children to be kind to one another, to have patience, to learn tolerance. Anything but this rubbish.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
"Starving Artist" is also pretty rich. If artists are starving (which I doubt) its because they sign a total sucker deal in order to get signed.

The thing I keep wondering is when they show on TV the lawyers running around with all of their folders and papers......isn't photo-copying material out of lawbooks a violation of copywrite law?!

Yes, I believe it is aoj145. I remember a huge fuss about photocopies at the local college a while back. Many instructors used them instead of requiring students to pay for an expensive book that they were only going to use a few pages from. The college cracked down on it and lost a few students because they couldn't afford to pay for all the extra books.

I think it's rather funny... I mean most things taught in the classroom are so anti-good, anti-God, anti-goverment...Why not add a little more wackiness to the melting pot.... Society is on a downward spin...heading toward Judgement....The day is coming soon......
