Entertainment Industry Continues Teaching
Found on Techdirt on Sunday, 25 April 2004
You may remember that last fall the entertainment industry began a project where they went into schools to teach a "lesson" on why file sharing was bad that included the lesson, "if you didn't pay for it, you stole it." Of course, to hammer this lesson home, the industry gave away for free DVD players and trips to Hollywood to those students who could come up with the best essays to express why anything free must be stolen (sort out the irony for yourself).
Who allows the music industry to brainwash children? LEtting them present a totally one-sided view is not teaching, but controlling. They could also allow dealers to teach them why drugs are good for you. Or leaders from the KKK could tell the kids why they are on top of the evolution (that's scarcasm, for those who don't realize that).
