MPAA pays $100,000 for propaganda in schools

A very disturbing story. Best quote:

"Bret Balonick, a tax accountant on loan from PricewaterhouseCoopers to teach the anti-piracy class, was arguing that some downloaders have been affected by malicious activity. Besides, he said, it's illegal to upload and download unauthorized content online.

If it's illegal in America, host it in Uzbekistan," snapped the 14-year-old. "

Owned! In fact, all of the kids quoted in the article (13-14 year olds) were apparantly not buying the bullshit.

Discuss.

"It's not illegal if you decide to give it away," said Wilson Cen, 13, regarding burning copies of music CDs for his friends. "They don't want you selling them. It's a gift, you're not selling it."

Boo yeah!
