Clothing Firm Pirated Itself... And It Worked Great

,----[ Quote ]
| As fashion designers in the US are, once again, pushing 
| for a misguided new "fashion copyright," it's worth 
| remembering that studies have repeatedly shown that knock 
| off fashions are what help make the fashion industry so 
| successful.

RIAA Asks Schoolkids To Assist With Propaganda

,----[ Quote ]
| We wrote about Music-Rules! and similar industry propaganda
| efforts in May, outlining some of their falsehoods and biases. For
| instance, the RIAA tells kids, "Never copy someone else's creative
| work without permission from the copyright holder" â omitting the
| important right to make creative fair use of existing content. It
| also coins a misleading term, "songlifting," (which the curriculum
| says is "just as bad as shoplifting"). Perhaps most disturbing of
| all given that the curriculum is supposed to be adopted by
| schools, it teaches kids bad math as part of its lessons on peer
| to peer file-sharing.
