Fair Use Computer Game

Posted by michael on from the knowing-is-half-the-battle dept.

mpawlo writes "As reported by Greplaw, The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) together with Privacyactivism has released an interactive video game designed to educate players about their privacy and fair use rights. The game is focused on digital rights management technologies, online spyware, and data profiling servers. We have seen similar games in Sweden from the Anti-piracy Bureau and Flash movies from BSA in the US, however striking a different tune. Play Carabella." Cute idea.

    I've already got the plug-in. Now when I play the game, Carabella's naked.

    apparently, in sweden, when pirates don't want to get raided by cops that break through thier windows, they contact aliens to hovor around thier apartment building and throw paper airplanes around to knock the cops off. Sophisticated warez skills there.

    I think it's only appropriate that i downloaded the source of that page, and ripped the shockwave game so i can play it later, or maybe pass it around to my friends.
