EFF Launches Copyright Curriculum To Counter RIAA Propaganda Being Handed Out
To Schools
,----[ Quote ]
| It's been quite troubling that for years various schools have simply accepted
| propaganda and totally inaccurate "teaching materials" about copyright and
| used them to teach students. These programs have been created by both the
| RIAA and the MPAA, at times. More recently, a lobbying organization backed by
| both of those organizations, the Copyright Alliance (which has a long history
| of making up the most fantastic myths about copyright) has been pushing a
| copyright curriculum on schools.

Radiohead's Manager: File Sharing Should Be Legal; It's Great For Music
,----[ Quote ]
| This probably isn't much of a surprise given Radiohead's well-publicized
| experiment with letting fans "pay what you want" for its last album, but the
| band's manager has now said that he thinks file sharing should be legal (sent
| in by Ruby), noting:
|
| "We believe file-sharing by peer-to-peer should be legalised. The sharing
| of music where it is not for profit is a great thing for culture and
| music."
