Forget “just say no,” and say hello to “just say buy.” Copycense points out that some Scottish schools seem to think that unauthorized sharing of music and movies is analogous to using drugs, and deserves a similar sort of education plan. Of course, the entertainment industry would be more than happy to provide any one of its numerous propaganda educational curricula for the task. The problem, of course, is that if you are at all familiar with the subject, you would realize that unauthorized file sharing is not a societal problem like “drug use,” but is a business model issue. Of course, given how (un)successful the “war on drugs” has been, perhaps it’s silly to worry about an equally ridiculous “war on piracy.”
