For a good chuckle, read this item on students' reactions tgo the 'anti-piracy' message being offered on university campuses (L.A. Times - may require a login, sorry (but it didn't ask me for one)). "'Arrrrrrr!' shouted a group of students in the front row, prompting a chorus of pirate-like catcalls in the vein of Johnny Depp." And more to the point, and getting to the heart of the issue: "Several of the students said the government should be focusing on eliminating poverty and improving education instead of jailing kids who download movies, music and software."
