Say What?

Perhaps I should try to get schools to let me talk about copyright from my perspective, I mean its not fair to only have one side of a argument.

I think he'd have more credibility if they made him look like Lex Luthor.

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.

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

Re: HA HA HA HA

Thanks for a serious post in an otherwise mocking thread. I mean, this plan certainly deserves mocking, but also more thoughtful comment.

It's political indoctrination, not education. Education would mean telling kids what copyright law currently is, and the fact that there are criticisms of it, and what the arguments are on both sides.

Letting a private industry propagandize children in favor of an ideology crafted according to profit motive - or laws based on that industry's lobbying - is something no school system should ever even consider and no government should allow. Geist is right, it is a new low.

There are others...

I was watching "Auto-B-Good" with my daughter last weekend and one of the segments was about how it was wrong to download music from the Internet.

LOL! Captain Obvious looks to be a barely modified Jack "King" Kirby Captain America. How appropriate for our discussion of copyright violation.

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.

Whoa... you almost got flagged for intermixing DC Comics and Marvel Comics... that could destroy the universe as we know it.
