Boy Scouts Learn Copyright Law

This is now old news, but a couple of weeks ago an article was published in the L.A. Times and was discussed on NPR. Boy Scouts receive an anti-piracy activity patch after learning the basics of copyright law. They can tour a movie studio so that they appreciate the effort that goes into the creation of a film.

I think making the visit to the studio is a great idea. It makes the interaction between the viewer (and potential pirate) and the film more personal. It would be applicable for the boy scouts to also meet a struggling musical artist, too.
