Entertainment industry - Foot in Mouth disease

[RedjackRyan]

The entertainment industry was using Captain Copyright to educate kids about piracy and downloading in the classroom, but apparently the campaign has been going through some difficulties. Internet users have not only noticed that the website lifted certain content from Wikipedia, but that there was already a Captain Copyright in Singapore. Techdirt notes that the outfit behind the campaign has been changing content on their website on the fly as they come under criticism.

They must have retained the same PR agency as the "Swiftboat Veterans For Truth" people.

And of course, we have another fine example of how certain individuals rather obviously do not intend to practice what they preach. They'll demand that WE practice it, mind, but they of course are better than we are. Sigh.
