British Schoolkids Get Copyright Education
Krafty Koder writes "The Register reports that British school children will be indoctrinated in copyright law , in a scheme backed by the music industry, as part of the government sponsored Music Manifesto initiative. In response, kuro5hin have posted an open letter on this issue." The U.S. has its own version.

Is this brainwashing even legal?
What is next? Teaching them by prying open their eyes like in Clockwork Orange with Beethoven playing on the background??

Great, this is just what we need...

Tell me about it, those British kids can't spell at all.... "colour", "grey", "centre", what is that shit?
It should work if it's delivered as well as sex education. Myself and my geek friends attended all our sex ed lessons at school and always paid close attention. It must have worked because I've just turned 30 and have never caught an STD or got someone pregnant, oh wait..
For all intensive porpoises your a bunch of rediculous loosers
This reminds me of something;
In my first semester of college, I was taking some required beginer computer class that I was way to smart for, and the teacher said that we would need to buy Microsoft Excel, Powerpoint, and Word within a certain amount of time, as they were required for the class.
The next day she was talking about it again, and said "but you know, my friend told me you can download it for free if you get this program, kazaa..." and wrote the url on the board.
I raised my hand and explained doing that was illegal, and added that kazaa installed spyware anyway so kazaa lite was better.
The teacher had me write the kazaa lite url on the board.
