British Schoolkids Get Copyright Education

Posted by michael on from the don't-coupy-that-flouppy dept.

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.

    Excellent idea - let's teach the kids that sharing is wrong.

    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??

    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..
