Play It Safe In Cyberspace II

Following on from the Play It Safe In Cyberspace, is good news that the ALA (American Library Association) will be sending materials to school librarians in an attempt to balance the endevours by pro-copyright groups such as the RIAA,MPAA & BSA. (See this article at Wired News)

I agree with the quote from Rick Weingarten ("The idea that elementary-school kids are ripping off business software is a little strange") after all all kids at that age are copying and peddling copies of M$ Office and the like. Ok Disney is probably quite likely but not M$.

The article also highlights other measures that the various copyright groups have set up as well as one or two that the "CopyLeft" groups (EFF etc). However there seems to be a recurring theme in that most of the Copyright groups have substantial funding, and the Copyleft ones don't. So as a resolution to this, I'm definately going to have to start making at least some form of donation to EFF and Privacy Intl. etc.
