Are you a thief?

I think that when they define “thief” as someone who will watch a TV show on Dailymotion when there’s no other way to get it, they’re going to be surprised how many people (especially schoolkids) are willing to say “Yes, I’m a thief.”

TheHalc,

Perhaps there’s a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I’d hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

Trihilis,

The record and movie industry must be paying out of their asses to have this shit taught in schools.

Let’s teach our kids the importance of making billionaires richer and not actual important stuff like checking facts or making a well informed decision when voting.

Absolute dystopian bullshit.

We can teach them about how once-upon-a-time common sense copyright laws got perverted by the mouse so badly.

The last sentence suggests that, in some cases, pirates can get content sooner than their paying counterparts. This availability issue is often seen as a main driver of piracy. While improvements can be made on the supply side, the course urges teens to postpone their needs instead.

Really? Who would’ve guessed that piracy is a service problem? How about you improve your shit so people don’t feel inclined to pirate it. Who’s gonna pay for a shittier experience?

I’m sure this will about as effective as D. A. R. E. in American schools and keeping people off drugs

coolin,

Hello, kids! Pirates are very bad! Never use qBittorent to download copyrighted material, and certainly do NOT connect it to a VPN to avoid getting caught. Additionally, you should also NEVER download illegal material via an https connection because it is fully encrypted and you won’t get caught!

Intellectual property is theft

”Are you a thief?”

gigachad Yes.

I’m sure this shit would’ve gone over well with teenage me who downloaded all his games and music using P2P software.

That’s awesome news. Teaching them about anti-piracy will lead them to piracy and make sure that piracy will remain for future generations.

avattar,

They really didn’t think it through.

Wow, openly letting corpos propogandize children.

sounddrill,

But here’s the thing:

It is illegal and unethical!

We should stop pretending otherwise.

At the same time, what is also unethical is publishers, record labels, exploiting people!

We should have seminars and more talking about copyright, correct licensing, enforcement and copyleft concepts, to ensure they don’t get cheated by such entities in the future

sounddrill,

Note: I pirate too

This is a huge win for piracy. You can’t image how many kids these days don’t know about piracy. They share account passwords, and split the costs to stream legally, up until the password sharing crackdown. Now, imagine what would happen if you inform them that these evil pirates get everything for free, without geo-blocking, without multiple services to get everything you want, and even pre-release. And inform them to be careful about malware. Man, they gonna research piracy and how to avoid malware in their free time and enjoy piracy to the fullest. Rights Alliance trains the new generation of pirates in Denmark.

I tell kids these days they are totally in one of those YAF novels where the teachers and ministers and testers (and even parents) are all in on the plot to force you through a doughboy program that turns you into an interchangeable, disposable, replaceable soldier or laborer to be exploited and discarded in some billionaire’s vanity project, all the while the world is covered in plastic residue and is liberally burning.

IP maximalist indoctrination feels entirely on par, especially considering how disengagement is a far greater threat to media industries than piracy.

Incidentally, IP infringement, including copyright infringement is never theft. Cheating creators and developers of a fair share of the profits, however, is theft.

Well, let’s see… At my school, smoking was bad. I started smoking. My school taught us that drinking alcohol was very bad. I started drinking with my friends. We learned at school that the USSR was going to attack us with nukes at any moment. So I started doing an annoying impersonation of Boris and Natascha every time we had a “hide under your desk drill” that was quite entertaining. We were warned in social studies class about the dangers of using fireworks and cherry bombs. My friends and I were on the constant hunt of old cherry bombs. Ronald Reagan’s administration started a physical fitness program that gave awards to kids that passed a certain test in gym glass. A lot of us didn’t try hard on purpose because it looked silly and many of us, to our shock, still won the award because it was too easy. So, perhaps the schools are creating a whole new generation of super pirates. Some of those kids probably don’t even know what pirating is. They’ll find out now. And don’t forget, boys and girls, ketchup is a vegetable. If ketchup is a vegetable, relish is, too. So make sure you eat up all your relish we give you at lunch time, with some ketchup on top.

“Smoking is bad, m’kay? You shouldn’t smoke. And alcohol…well, drinking alcohol is very bad, m’kay?”

slushiedrinker,

“You can do it, it’s all up to you” LOL
