Are you a thief?

I think that when they define “thief” as someone who will watch a TV show on Dailymotion when there’s no other way to get it, they’re going to be surprised how many people (especially schoolkids) are willing to say “Yes, I’m a thief.”

The record and movie industry must be paying out of their asses to have this shit taught in schools.

Let’s teach our kids the importance of making billionaires richer and not actual important stuff like checking facts or making a well informed decision when voting.

Absolute dystopian bullshit.

Perhaps there’s a danger that, by normalising self-identification as a thief, campaigns like this might have unanticipated societal results.

I’d hate to see shoplifting/burglary/mugging stats climbing in a few years time.

We can teach them about how once-upon-a-time common sense copyright laws got perverted by the mouse so badly.

The last sentence suggests that, in some cases, pirates can get content sooner than their paying counterparts. This availability issue is often seen as a main driver of piracy. While improvements can be made on the supply side, the course urges teens to postpone their needs instead.

Really? Who would’ve guessed that piracy is a service problem? How about you improve your shit so people don’t feel inclined to pirate it. Who’s gonna pay for a shittier experience?

Hello, kids! Pirates are very bad! Never use qBittorent to download copyrighted material, and certainly do NOT connect it to a VPN to avoid getting caught. Additionally, you should also NEVER download illegal material via an https connection because it is fully encrypted and you won’t get caught!
