The purpose of the patch is not to debate current law, but simply
to educate
about it. Don't confuse your opinion of what the law should be
with what
the law is...
The point is, whether or not the merit badge educates scouts properly
about the nuances of the law, and fairly presents the position of
both sides, is seriously in doubt and up for debate right now, given
that the recording industry is the one providing the materials. The
merit badge, as published, may actually do more harm than good, by
presenting only one side of the issue and distorting the claims of
the other side.
