Hollywood goes after Australian kids
p2pnet news view | Kids & Kartels:- Hollywood has launched a new campaign aimed at turning Australian children into mindless drones who’ll consume corporate product exclusively.
Fronted by Maureen Barron, Southern Star producer and former chairwoman of the Australian Film Commission, it’s called the Intellectual Property Awareness Foundation (IPAF).
In the driving seat is Hollywood’s AFACT (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft).
“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,” said p2pnet recently, going on »»»
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.
Now, part of the IPAF ‘charter’ is, “motivating a change in attitudes and behaviour to reduce public demand for illegal copies of film and television programmes,” it says, according to TV Tonight.
And where Hollywood goes, the Big 4 are sure to follow.

An unbelievable disgrace, on many levels. The biggest being that someone, somewhere, in a position of authority, okayed this and thought it acceptable to allow gross corporate interests to market and advertise to a captured audience of children in their own classrooms. For profit. Completely unfuckingbelievable. There is no way this can be squared with the interests of the children, so the conclusion is that some bastard is taking a backhander to allow this brainwashing of kids. How can this corruption get so far with nobody even blinking? Usually they trot out the “defence of children” as the club to swing when they need to push their latest strategy. Suddenly these mercenary bastards have swing 180 and don’t give a toss about the kids anymore. Completely unbelievable that they even got a foot in the door with this strategy.
