Secondly, it won’t stick. The second they leave school they will mingle with the people who were not in school at the time of these “teachings”. What do you think is going to happen? Yup. Start downloading movies and songs that they cannot find elsewhere.

Good going Australia! By the way, how is that giant firewall going…

She means, we will create our customers of the future. Obviously brainwashing people is the way of the future, who needs to think for himself anymore…

Ask not what ur country can do for u, ask whether ur country and it’s businesses need another slave!

AFACT, mark my words, younger Australians will not give a damn about your education attempts – it’s simply too culturally ingrained.

Oh, and AFACT, take your fricken lawsuit against iiNet (an Aussie internet co.), and spend the $$$ on charity instead.

That’s copyright propaganda in a nutshell.

In other words, they want to brainwash children with false information serving their own good?

Good Luck with your painfull job.

I didn’t know anything about “piracy” or the lark until late teens. Until then, I bought it if i knew it was good. All they are really doing is going

“Hey! Hey Guys! you outta money! Don’t go Here, Here, or Here to download it for free! We’re serious! we’re the internet Po-Lice”

They will undoubtedly have very flawed arguments, statistics and outright lies on their side.

And because children are vulnerable to being influenced when they are young it will probably work. Now I’m going to take a guess that you won’t be able to opt out of this.

I can not see how teaching children to believe people have the right to own ideas, sounds, pictures, 1s and 0s etc is any different from teaching them things like religion or political views at school.

Unfortunately when we are first born we know very little and learn from those around us. Since little children know no better they will probably believe it.

It is one thing to equally present two sides of an argument to someone and let them decide themselves whats right. But it is another thing to make their mind up for them by basically brainwashing them from a young age. They don’t teach religion at public schools so why this? Basically this is despicable!

Secondly, education is not about only teaching kids/youngsters Your point of view on some issue, but many different points of view, so they can decide which view to take (or come up with an entirely different point of view) for themselves.
Otherwise, it’s called Indoctrination:

Just like kids turning in their families in 1984? Maybe a bit drastic a comparison, but what it brought to mind.

The problem with society is that the government seems to think that they have ANY right WHATSOEVER to tell children how to think. They don’t let them reason and find their own answers, come to their own conclusions, /think for themselves/; that’s the government’s job, babe.

ya right ,, go into a classroom and tell the kids that pirating is bad and they need to stop ,, brillant

Intellectual Pirate Awareness Foundation

cool!!

Alright, from now on, I start teaching my primary-school sister (though she is pretty smart for her age), that piracy under circumstances like these is completely, totally and absolutely RIGHT, and that without it, she wouldn’t have even the half of the computer games she now has, which I’ve downloaded from the Internet :o)
And will also try to propose to her, that, should some “delegation” like this visit some of her classrooms, she asks the teacher if she can go to the WC, because she’s feeling sick from that kind of brainless speech (obviously she can’t say bullshit, as on a primary school, that would get her into trouble :D )
Cheers

wtf are they really aiming for ?
seriously anyone?

AND when ya tell someone pot is bad what do a lot more do? GO smoke pot.
YA this is only going to back fire large once they get out in world and start asking real questions.

ROFL

No one is gunna take this shit seriouly, its just gunna be a fail

CoE is Anglican, not Christian.

I wonder what would happen if someone one day started advertising all the reasons why piracy is good? I know for a start that we would’t have to straight out lie about what we are trying to tell people to make people agree… It’s all common sense =]

This is a frugal attempt at something hopeless.

kids will rule the world someday, free information (including all forms of media) is helpful to their education.

Video lessons have already been proven to teach underprivledged children in africa. However, the MPAA won’t let these kids be educated for free.

how about finding a cost efficient way to supply the demand instead of trying to quash it? people want coffee, so they building a million starbucks’ selling cheap coffee. why the fuck is it so hard to do the same for p2p?

if corporations want more money they should leave the religious values of the 50′s behind and legalise prostitution. theres millions of people classed as criminals who would gladly pay for the service.

In summary, what we want is access to films and TV programs at the same time, or very soon after, they’re made available to the US. Not 6 to 12 months later, as is common for even some popular TV series. And it needs to be absolutely DRM free, high definition and affordable.

iTunes fails in all of those areas, by offering overpriced, lower-than-DVD-quality content that is encumbered with DRM, many months or years after the original air date.

TPB FTW

(Seeing visions of Max Headroom & Robocop worldviews. Cyberpunk comes alive All Hail the Corporations) (shudder)

Aussies are pretty proud of this history… nearly every “pure Aussie” can trace their family tree back to one of these prisoners of old, maybe even a true pirate, you really don’t want mess with these people for no reason or it might blow up in your face, which I personally hope it does.”
So true <3

Australian’s are racist, homophobic, sexist anti-intellectuals, why would we care about stopping piracy?

Using scare tactics to frighten the children of today is complete and absolute exploitation just for the sake of large corrupt corporations to make vasts amount of money.

The RIAA/MPAA are attempting to thwart my prediction that this generation of children will never forget how they were threatened and exploited, and that when they become tomorrows judges, politicians and law makers they will change copyright laws to reflect that they should be for the people, and not for a very select elite and privileged few that run the worlds largest music and movie corporations.

Art and culture belongs to the human race and is created by the human race. Corporations do not and should own them.

Besides, I remember way back when about how children were taught that smoking, drugs, alcohol and sex were wrong. Yes, those things can be dangerous and potentially kill you, but downloading a movie or song won’t. There’s a huge difference.

Children will make up their own mind and realize the truth one day just like we all have, that the music and movie industry is tyrannical, greedy, selfish and fascist.

RIAA/MPAA = The Beast.

The most common is a rebellion of authority. Sometimes that’s the parents, sometimes the law, but almost always figures of authority in some manner. Here you have the IP industry trying to get in there while they’re young to influence their moral values (which I find a very strange place for these people to be dabbling in). Down the road, if not smart already, they will wise up at that point.

The rebound of finding out it ain’t bad is that it then reflects on the authority figure. That figure rapidly plunges in esteem and what remains is clear disdain for them and what they represent. Sort of sounds like the same old, same old don’t it?

Face it, the IP industry is desperate to find an answer to protect their income stream. The heads and upper management of the music industries themselves have went from musicians to lawyers and it shows up in how they deal with the world. From the lawyer point of view, all solutions are found in court.

Those solutions return the IP industries a very bad PR image. I honestly don’t care about them going bankrupt. I think it would solve the problem of an industry that wants control of every aspect of it’s business. Music certainly won’t die if the labels do. There might actually be a living in it then for the artists. As it is now, unless they are a super star, chances are slim for any sort of income to make it to the artist that rises to the level of a sustainable living wage.

The fact that these corporations are going after the kids in school, with the governments implied, if not active consent, shows just what sort of mentality runs both groups.
