Pupils to Get Anti-piracy Lessons

One wonders what sort of lessons will be taught to British students in the context of this program to teach them "on music piracy and copyright issues." Will they be shown Courtney Love's article showing how an artist who releases a gold record ends up in debt? Will it be explained to them why music they purchase cannot be played on their computer? Will the lesson include a primer on open source software and open content? Will explain to them why their traditional rights of fair use have been eliminated? No, probably not. But if not, then it's not learning - it's propaganda. Via TechLearning News, which really should add some commentary putting this item into context.
