UK kids taste Big Music spam

p2pnet.net News:- British schoolchildren are soon to be served even more anti-p2p ‘education’ spam, dished up by the Big Four Organized Music cartel.

And the UK government is playing right along, says Belpertoday.

Children at schools across the Amber Valley in in Derbyshire, England, have been signed up to take part in the self-serving EMI, Warner Music, Vivendi Universal and Sony BMG My Music campaign – like it or not.

It’s a, "a new music initiative from the record industry and government" and involves 1.3 million secondary school pupils, representing 2,000 schools across England, and 2,500 record stores, says the story, going on:

"Belper, John Flamsteed, Mortimer Wilson, Swanwick Hall and Frederick Gent Schools have all signed up to be part of the activities during national music week which runs from October 16 to 20."

My Music, "will also give teachers lesson plans and activities which explore the music business itself, encouraging debate around controversial issues such as music file sharing," it adds.

    My own take on this is this.

    Kids love to flout authority. Publicising to the kids that there is all this free music out there to be had from P2P etc will only have the opposite effect and encourage it.
