Captain Copyright, on the other hand, wearing a cape, a smile, and a costume that says "Don't steal MY music" would go over much better.

Where is captain copyright when you need him?

http://www.captaincopyright.ca/

Ah Ha! I was just thinking about that but I couldn't remember where I saw it. I knew it was from here (Canada) but other than that I couldn't remember... either that or I blocked it from my memory.

  (btw you're using phpBB forum type tags to submit the links, you have to use actual HTML etc... here on Slashdot)

  Captain Copyright

  Yeah this guy at this link you submitted is using the same name:

  Captain Copyright

  Is Captain Copyright copyrighted? lmao

The Captain Copyright site was created for educators because they told us through surveys and focus groups conducted by an independent consultant that they needed tools to help them teach their students about copyright, but none were available.

Additionally...

to learn merit badges

Can't we just get this whole patent thing over with already? Just give M$ the patent on, "doing anything useful with a computer," label us all criminals, file lawsuits against us by the thousands each month, and create cartoons to remind us that everything we create you thought of first with your vague wording.

Play with Captain Copyright's friendly hacker defense system and use it to send him silly messages! :-)

You should publish a link to Captain Copyright! Of course, you definitely don't want to link to the blog of the guy who exposed the various copyright infringements that Captain Copyright was partaking in, or the EFF's DRM counter force: The Corruptables!

Yup they can! In canada we even have Captain Copyright to teach children about giving up their rights that they have. Luckily, it's not catching on I think or maybe I'm just being naive and hopeful.

There are plenty of retarded toons out there.

But you can fight back, by teaching them the value of decent security systems :) Oh, and there are good videos out there, too.

Since when is plagiarism the same as copyright infringement?

Yeah that nice place keeps looking nicer...

Global Warming making the climate habitable, a conservative government that says, "hey, we like universal healthcare", and a reasonable perspective on copyright are all things I can support. Captain Copyright, on the other hand...

Regardless of legal impediments, the software (and hardware) industries are making it all a moot point as quickly as is legally feasible.

You should remember to call him a "superzero" -- you can't call him a "Super-hero" [TM] because Marvel & DC jointly own the trademark on that! You'd think they'd want to *avoid* infringing a little more carefully...

In the mean time, I'm still having lots of fun linking to things that set off their stupid security system (all it requires is a ? in the URL), and Google-bombing those propaganda whores :]

Haha, the best part is from http://www.captaincopyright.ca/Ipnotice.aspx :

Quickly, citizens!

The Pirates have gone global this time. They can change their port with the tidal waves of mind crimes and its nefarious actions.

It's not time to save on resources. The criminals can move between countries in a matter of days.

We need the help of a new super-hero spotted in Canada previous week! Only him can track down the Pirates and sunk their ship of infringments around the Earth.

Support the fantasy! Don't let our dreams die!

Captain Copyright, our prays are with you. Save us from the Pirates!

> You see, they were sneaky enough to use a book title... because of course as we all know... YOU CAN'T COPYRIGHT A BOOK TITLE!

You *can* trademark the name Curious George [TM], however. Copyright != trademark != patent != trade secret (although a single work may still be protected by more than one of those things). You'd think they'd make sure they were slightly more scrupulous if they're trying to sell Imaginary Property (I can't rightfully call most of it "intellectual") as anything but a tool of corporate oppression.

Anyhow, Curious George is trademarked by the Houghton Mifflin Company. Not that I give a rat's ass about that, but it is. Someone should tell those propaganda whores to mark it properly :]

Bah, if we're going to have a link that sends stupid messages to the admin, let's at least make it something a bit more fun, like http://www.captaincopyright.ca/clueless_admins?you r_mother=a+hampster&your_father=smelt+of+elderberr ies

Obviously, you should NOT set up a cron job to constantly run cURL and request that URL over and over or their logs might fill up...

As for a Google-bomb, I can't think of anything very good, although propaganda whores has a nice ring to it and I finally have a use for this karma, because posting this with the +1 will give Slashdot's pagerank to them for that term :] I'm sure they're thrilled... Please copy & redistribute this information as much as possible :]

Hmm...I can't copy and paste html code...so it'd still be able to paste this, right: #container { background-color:#9E98D8; } #banner { background-image: url(images/banner2.jpg); } #footer { background-image: url(images/footer2.gif); } Technically, that's not html. It's css code embedded in a html document. And their copyright notice specifically mentions html. Too bad their site isn't mainly done in javascript; I could paste some of that too. Let's get everyone to link to them in their posts now (as an added bonus it'll boost their page rank, making sure they get in that index right next to all those pornographic, racist or homophobic sites. stupid copyright site

Wtf? That is so gay. Those dirty Quebs should go f*ck each other gently in the ass!

I know how much we all love Captain Copyright, so here are some pictures you can legally download, print, and color: http://www.captaincopyright.ca/Kids/ColouringBook. aspx

Not to mention the goatse.

Or, better yet, you can tell her that "Captain Copyright" was a shortlived gay pornographic comic strip, sponsored by the CCLA.

Go here, click a link, and change the subject and body of the email to "Invite Captain Copyright to a gay 3 way."

I am in awe that they have a 1 page PDF that takes up 5 megs, and despite it's title that would lead you to believe it contains Canadian Copyright laws, it actually doesn't reference any laws at all! If everyone downloads the PDF even once, we can Slashdot 'em pretty quickly! http://www.captaincopyright.ca/Teachers/Docs/LMCop yrightLaws.pdf

Subject: CC Vote - Post A Torrent And Follow The RIAA

I vote to post a torrent of the paper, wait for the thugs at the RIAA to find it, then follow the hit van to their house.

A few million similar votes should get the point across.

I can see that copyright law is clearly a priority for early education. Not grammar, or mathematics, but intellectual property and coporate interests. And apparently not even spelling. Check out the last box of this cartoon. What, exactly, is "resrearch"?

According to this post on Slashdot, I totally ignored their idiotic disclaimer--I can't even link to their site--they withold permission! Oh crap, I'm in for it now! The Canadians are coming! The Canadians are coming!

Speaking of which, anyone up for a Google-bomb? But what to call them? How about, I dunno... copyright bastards? Or does that infringe on some of SCO's IP? :-)

Captain C/The Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency,: Please do not sue me, but I copied and pasted the URL into the link above. If this is a violation, have the Swedish police sieze Slashdot's servers.

Gotta love the "hero shot." Captain Copyright dedicates his life to defending the rights of artists and everyone in between. Hey, at least he's honest.

Why is it that Captain Copyright is looking off to the left in so many of these headshots?

http://www.captaincopyright.ca/Kids/ColouringBook. aspx

Hmmmm.

Just for fun, try the following link.

It will fill up their "hack attempt" logs with silly messages :-) And maybe it will encourage them to find a more useful and less stupid way to detect "hack attempts" than whether or not there happens to be a question mark somewhere in the URL.

That or call them up and ask why they're giving out all their copyrighted materials for free. Aren't they compensating the artists per copy!? Why, that's ***STEALING***! And don't anyone try to rationalize it away by pointing out that they got paid *once* for their work--all IP holders deserve compensation any time someone so much as *thinks* about their work, you communist bastards, anything else is rationalizing away a serious felony! :-)

God love trolling server logs ...

ABC's of copyright

Err... that's a bit too wordy for kids, who probably wouldn't be reading about copyright law in that detail anyway. Also, I cannot help but notice that there are no A's or B's.

Maybe it should have a section on how they can pirate stuff, that'd be more useful.

Captain Copyright has heroically announced he's suing /. for copyright violation, after the vicious plagiarizers failed to read his site's asinine legal disclaimer and reproduced his valuable intellectual property. Additionally, poster jgaynor will also be sued for talking shit about captain copyright AND linking to his site in the same paragraph. Think that last sentance was hyperbole? Think again:

"permission to link is explicitly withheld from any website the contents of which may, in the opinion of the Access Copyright, be damaging or cause harm to the reputation of Access Copyright."

Holy Nutsack Cap'n Copyright!

More making fun of this ridiculous attempt at a valid legal statement here (disclaimer: not affiliated).

...but this comic is lame. Look at this page and the previous one. Somebody gets an A just because they didn't use a bootleg version of the textbook? Give me a break.

There is also another page in the copyright comic that seems to confuse one issue (collaborate research and somebody trying to take all of the credit) with copyright law. The comic ended in a cliffhanger after a few pages, but I don't think this comic book is effective at all (not to mention lame), and the comic confuses issues, too.

Close, but no cigar.

"Captain Copyright? I remember that site! It was where a bunch of Farkers and SA Forum Goons downloaded a huge library of source images for the funniest set Photoshop parodies ever!"

This looks like a job for Captain Copyright!

Seriously - of course the pirate bay will rise again - what they were doing was not illegal under Swedish law.
