Copyright Alliance: mind-raping our children
p2pnet news view | Kids & Kartels | P2P:- “Anyone who believes things are as bad as they can get with self-interest corporate groups undermining freedom of choice, freedom of expression and freedom of speech should prepare themselves,” I said in 2007.
“There’s a new anti-consumer gang in town, and it’ll be more actively poisonous than anything you’ve ever seen before.”
I was wrong.
It’s even worse.
One of the favourite tactics of Hollywood and the Big 4 record labels is to raise the spectre of kiddy porn every time they’re trying to ram new legislation home.
But something far more disgusting is happening —-
—- the mind -rape of children by the major record labels, Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music, and the Hollywood studios, Time Warner, Viacom, Fox, Sony, NBC Universal and Disney.
They’re twisting and bending the minds of America’s children, warping and them to the false standards of the corporate movie and music industries, all the while accusing parents of being criminals and thieves.
The organisation I was referring to in the story mentioned in the intro was the Copyright Alliance spawned to, “convince increasingly skeptical members of the general public and policymakers that copyrights are something special that deserve protection,” says the Hollywood Reporter.
And praising it were such infamous entertainment industry supporters as Hollywood Howard Berman, Howard Coble and John Conyers.
Now the alliance is in full swing, it’s targetting our kids in their classrooms with the active co-operation of teachers, school boards and federal and state administrations.
They’re promoting the sick (even for Hollywood and the labels) message that it’s vital intellectual property and copyright law are taught to young kids along with readin’, writin’ and ‘rithmatic.
“The Copyright Alliance and YMI have developed a free online video, Copyright in the Classroom, to provide a quick explanation of copyright, identify “teachable moments” in the classroom, and review all the free teaching resources available at the Alliance web site.”
Are Barack Obama’s children subjected to this kind of obscene indoctrination? – one wonders.
Check out the video below for the kind of garbage the ‘alliance’ is pumping out to turn our children into good little corporate consumers.
I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am we decided to teach our daughter, Emma, at home, from the beginning.

Looks like these are good for another Baylout raid by Anonymous.

I have breaking news for you:
http://torrentfreak.com/pirate-bay-lawyer-is-biased-calls-for-a-retrial-090423/
One of the biggest cases in file-sharing history ended last week with The Pirate Bay Four sentenced to huge fines and jail time. Today it is revealed that far from being impartial, the judge in the case is a member of pro-copyright groups – along with Henrik Pontén, Monique Wadsted and Peter Danowsky. There are loud calls for a retrial.
quote:
”
Swedish Association of Copyright (SFU) – The judge Tomas Norström is a member of this discussion forum that holds seminars, debates and releases the Nordic Intellectual Property Law Review. Other members of this outfit? Henrik Pontén (Swedish Anti-Piracy Bureau), Monique Wadsted (movie industry lawyer) and Peter Danowsky (IFPI) – the latter is also a member of the board of the association.
Swedish Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (SFIR) – The judge Tomas Norström sits on the board of this association that works for stronger copyright laws. Last year they held the Nordic Championships in Intellectual Property Rights Process Strategies.
.SE (The Internet Infrastructure Foundation) – Tomas Norström works for the foundation that oversees the .se name domain and advises on domain name disputes. His colleague at the foundation? Monique Wadsted. Wadsted says she’s never met Norström although they have worked together.

I can allready see this: “Sorry Annabella, youre not allowed to see my beautifull drawing.. Its mine, its copyrighted, and unless you give me your candybar, you wont see my copyrighted creation…” Ok Im joking a bit about it but this is really disgusting. Sure Goebbels would have been proud of this “teaching” material…

Here’s an example of a student taking his own initiative to learn about copyright, the ethics of it, and what part it should play in his future:
Joey Teow’s Weblog – a year 9 student of St. Mary’s Cathedral College of sydney, New South Wales, Australia.
He gives a link to the blogs of his peers who are also exploring their own ideas about it.
