MPAA Backs Anti-Piracy Curriculum For Elementary School Students

Posted by samzenpus on from the think-of-the-children dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A number of groups, including the MPAA, are pushing to educate elementary school kids about the dangers of piracy. From the article: 'A nonprofit group called the Center for Copyright Information, which is supported by the MPAA and other groups, has commissioned a school curriculum to teach elementary-age children about the value of copyrights. The proposed curriculum is still in draft stage, but it's already taking flak. Some critics say the curriculum promotes the biased agenda of Hollywood studios and music labels. Others contend it would use up valuable classroom time when U.S. public schools are already struggling to teach the basics.'"

    Yeah, the words of a man who became a multi-millionnaire many times over really make me appreciate how everything should be equal and no-one should profit from the system!
