lyoreSince we are all a bunch of copyright respecting people over here, I thought this might interest some of you: Fun and Games with Copyright
By means of a curriculum devised by the movie industry, the Scouts will be instructed in basic copyright law and learn to identify five types of copyrighted works and three ways that copyrighted materials may be stolen.
Interesting (and somewhat sneaky move by the MPAA). Bet there's no mention of Fair Use there. But does anyone think that teaching a lot of teenage boys (and girls, for that matter) how copyrighted material can be stolen could backfire?
Also, WTF is up with our weather? IT SNOWED. IT'S SUMMER. (OK, technically it's spring, but November only gets pushed into spring because they're only allowed to have three months in summer, not by virtue of its temperature.)
