US-Pfadfinder: Musik- und Filmpiraterieerziehung

die Film-und Musikvereinigung MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America) kooperiert numehr mit den LA-Pfadfindern (ca. 50.000 Mitgliedern). Die LA Times:

Officials with the local Boy Scouts and the Motion Picture Assn. of America on Friday unveiled the Respect Copyrights Activity Patch — emblazoned with a large circle „C“ copyright sign along with a film reel and musical notes. The 52,000 Scouts who are eligible may earn the patch by participating in a curriculum produced by the MPAA. To earn the badge, Scouts must participate in several activities including creating a video public-service announcement and visiting a video-sharing website to identify which materials are copyrighted. They may also watch a movie and discuss how people behind the scenes would be harmed if the film were pirated.

Yahoo News:

„Working with the Boy Scouts of Los Angeles, we have a real opportunity to educate a new generation about how movies are made, why they are valuable, and hopefully change attitudes about intellectual property theft,“ Dan Glickman, chairman of the Motion Picture Association of America, said in a statement Friday.

siehe auch BoingBoing dazu. Hm… Copyrights hin oder her, aber irgendwie habe ich immer Bachgrummeln, wenn man es zulässt, dass die Industrie Jugendliche erziehen darf.
