the american library association is hitting back at the rather aggressive tactics of the Business SOftware alliance (BSA) and MPAA, RIAA, etc., to influence school-children too early, with their propaganda on software, patents, software downloads, etc.
http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,64543,00.html my favourite quotes: The NEA also objected to the lavish prizes and freebies offered by the MPAA. "We want to teach children to be thinking human beings," said Melinda Anderson, a spokeswoman for the NEA. "Not a parrot for some corporate agenda." and The program included an essay contest in which students competed to write the most creative plan to convince their peers not to download content illegally from the Internet. and "The idea that elementary-school kids are ripping off business software is a little strange," Weingarten said. "But that's (the BSA's) problem. They'll decide where they want to focus their education efforts." i guess most of you would like this article, pass the link along. the 'guerrrilla warfare for gyaan' doc is fdl. so i guess this could go into it as well :-) LL _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
