More coverage of the MPAA's propaganda campaign in the classroom. "The Motion Picture Association of America paid $100,000 to deliver its anti-piracy message to 900,000 students nationwide in grades 5-9 over the next two years, according to Junior Achievement Inc., which is implementing the program using volunteer teachers from the business sector." This is overt politicization of the classroom, a practice that should be resisted. At the very least, there should be equal time given to the opposing view. I would put together a program outlining the view that copyright is theft and offer lessons in the use of Kazaa, Gnutella, and system configuration for the Peer Site network.
