File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms?
shams42 writes "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."
Speeding is not dangerous or kills people.
Its when you loose control of the vehicle beacuse you are more busy with reading a magazine, getting a blowjob, snorting cokaine or anything else *ed up drivers to while driving it becomes dangerous.
110km/h is just as safe as 50km/h.
Or just as dangerous when you are hit by a truck driver who gets a heart attack due to poor health due to eatig at bronco burger for the past 25 years.

Anyway, I support EFF in their fight againts RIAA.
Not because I want to "pir8" but because what RIAA is doing is despicable (or how you write it..)
// instant - "I for one welcome our new Decaff Coffee-Flavoured-Coffee Overlords"
This is pissing me off. They didn't sue a 12 yr old. You can't sue minors! They sued the parent who was *responsible* for what the kid did. My fucking god, yes RIAA bad, indy good, but please at least get the fucking facts straight.
Next you will go on how P2P is "sharing" [which doesn't make sense since you share something by depriving yourself of it, but if that's the case then it is something material and it is theft!]

Someday, I'll have a real sig.
The student say Yeah:
The MP3s on Kazaa are advertisements for the
DVD Audio version that has a full size poster of
the naked female bass player.
Posters don't scan and reprint like the original.
and MP3s suck compared to full 5.1 sound.
RIAA does not want to see tech used to increase value.
MOD THIS!
