grimsdottir used our news submit to forward information regarding the MPAA's 'educational' program to help combat piracy. Something that began with indoctrinating college students to the MPAA bias and viewpoint now extends to the realm of the Boy Scouts:
Now, this propaganda (how the RIAA video to universities was labelled by many) extends to an organization such as this. Of course, this begs several questions. In covering the copyright 'basics,' will fair use provisions be explained, along with when and where it is legal to make copies? How can the Scouts identify how many piracy injures when the IFPI itself could not name specific illegal file sharers in a recent case? Can the MPAA be trusted to present just the facts? Given ample proof in previous articles about what the organizations dub 'piracy,' and how they 'injure' legal proceedings by not having collected the necessary proof to have standing for their lawsuits as plaintiffs--to say nothing of how they paint everyone with the same brush (seeing every person as a potential offender just waiting to steal)--then they only nail minor offenders instead of finding the true commercial operations and shutting them down, an informed reader can only seriously mistrust the industry's 'educational' efforts at every turn.
