Captain Copyright
Film industry teaching your children...
by Karl Bode Thursday 01-Jun-2006 tags: legal · Fileswapping
Techdirt points to a new Canadian elementary school campaign by the film industry dubbed Captain Copyright, aimed at "educating" kids as young as six on the importance of copyright (from the entertainment industry's perspective). More detail on this from University of Ottowa law professor Michael Geist. Note the MPAA used copyright crusading ferrets and roleplaying in U.S. classrooms.

Given the number of planeteers who give a crap about the environment versus the infringateers who give a crap about copyright infringement, I'd say Captain Planet would win in a war of attrition.

This guy has the power of 1000 lawyers with him and Capt. Planet would be too busy hugging trees to mount any defense.

My money is on Capt. Copyright unless Capt. Planet found out about the internet, the only thing known to man that is capable of destroying capitain copyright.

At the time I lived on Treasure Island in the middle of San Francisco bay as a Navy brat. The parents would take us on weekend rides to the wineries, Christian Brothers, and Buena Vista wineries where the ones I remember the most, and I enjoyed stopping at road side stands to get fresh grapes. this was back in the late '60s

That's cool, I live 115 miles north of SF, in Redwood Valley, it's about 8 miles north of Ukiah. A lot of wineries up here too, Mendocino County is a big grape and wine producer, and in fact, Redwood Valley is the furthest north wine producing region in CA, though it does us no good, we don't drink lol (we're all Mormon)

Edit-Here's a pic looking towards Ukiah from just below our back fence...Forsythe Creek is at the base of that hill, in a small canyon, it's one of the headwaters of the Russian River, both forks of which start very near our house. That picture doesn't do the fall colors (when the trees and vineyards all turn colors, it's gorgeous!) here justice either, I tried to capture them though

I agree that school kids need to be educated about copyright laws and what is considered stealing. The film industry and the MPAA are not the people who should be doing it. I am positive that Captain Copyright will not teach fair use and will not tell them that making backup copies for personal use is legal. Kids also need to know that if the buy a CD from wally world that it is legal to rip it and copy it to their Ipod as long as they do share it. It would be like Enron teaching kids about corporate ethics

BTW, Taylor, you yourself are brainwashed - referring to

copyright infringement??? same shit...
it's fair use rights that the corporation are trying to take away so they will have total control of the people's god given rights.

i do not know why most user refer it to as that, you may as well plead guilty because I just do not agree... because anything can be made criminal based on what is said. this is civil matter? if yes, then they do not have jurisdiction over anyone.

Remember that most are living in ignorance
They don't know crap about anything... only eat, sleep and work. like robots, what most need is an artficial intelligence that can be used effectively against any intrusion on our freedom...

A class action lawsuit

Should be filed by parents against the Board of Education,The RIAA,The MPAA for allowing this nonsense to be conducted in school.

1st) The backgrounds and qualifications needs to be examined.On what standard are they allowed to teach class?

2nd) I would want to see diploma's ,college degrees to prove these azzhole have the proper credentials to actually teach or give lectures in school.

3rd) If they do not meet federal guide lines established to be a teacher.Then they have absolutely no business in a classroom,as it just takes away and distracts children from learning the 3R's Reading, Riting Rithmitic.Otherwise it's false teaching..A cartoon character? Captain Cant Copyright.Please throw these bums out of our schools.

Taxpayers should demand better,because some students have a hard enough time keeping up with lessons already.The D.A.R.E program was a success all right.It educated more kids to be pro drug than anti drug,it taught them everything there is to know about illicit drugs.This boneheaded move will produce the opposite effect of what its purported purpose aims to accomplish.
