Hello,
when I first read that britisch school kids should get education in
copyright law, I first thought "wow great, at least they learn
something reasonable". But then I followed the link and I saw what it
really is about... it's all influenced by the music industry - and now
guess in which direction it goes. :-(
see:
'Stealing songs is wrong' lessons head for UK schools

Open Letter Against British Copyright Indoctrination in Schools:

And before someone asks a stupid question: Of course it has to do
with software - it's the same copyight law. Anything you can say
about downloading music also applies to downloading software.
(There is just less good free music yet than there is free software)
