Captain Copyright Targets Kids

frank249 writes "The Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency has set up a copyright education website called Captain Copyright. There is a section for kids with comic books and a section for teachers for grades 1-3, 3-6 and 6-8. An example of a grade 1 class activity: 'Present the following situation to students: Your friend is downloading a song off the Internet. In comes Captain Copyright. Ask: What do you think Captain Copyright will say? Encourage students to brainstorm. Then hand out (or read) Line Master: Some Copyright Laws.' In Canadian law it is incorrect to download a song unless you pay for it. They also neglect to mention that Canadians pay a tax on blank media that is meant to compensate artists for downloads."

    How do you know which writings were done by those who had special knowledge of this god, and which were just completely fabricated?
    Signal analysis.
    One of my tenets is that "special knowledge" isn't needed.

    It seems very strange that such a god would allow his message to be so distored.
    I start with the first principle that God's message has been distorted. Then the question becomes what God's motivation of letting his message out for it to become distorted.
    I posit that there is something that God didn't create and that his purpose is to drive it out. Now if that "other" had any intelligence to it, then God could not rightly be called God. God's goal is to put intelligence into that fabric, but the limitations on the system results in what we experience as time.
    All that is good in us is God's message. To understand God's message is to become God's message. In the Bible, the general idea is expressed by Paul when he says: "I am crucified in Christ, therefore I no longer live. Jesus Christ now lives in me."
