d_rawk Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 (Heh, yeah, I'm aware of the irony of linking the above image without permission in this post) Pulled from slashdot: The Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency has set up a copyright education website called Captain Copyright. There is a section for kids with comic books and a section for teachers for grades 1-3, 3-6 and 6-8. An example of a grade 1 class activity: 'Present the following situation to students: Your friend is downloading a song off the Internet. In comes Captain Copyright. Ask: What do you think Captain Copyright will say? Encourage students to brainstorm. Then hand out (or read) Line Master: Some Copyright Laws.' In Canadian law it is incorrect to download a song unless you pay for it. They also neglect to mention that Canadians pay a tax on blank media that is meant to compensate artists for downloads.

Guest Low Roller Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 Captain Copyright looks exactly like Space Ghost. I smell gimmick infringement and severe irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
