Nate Anderson at Arstechnica is reporting that the Electronic Frontier Foundation has produced lessons about copyright at Techingcopyright.org (licensed CC-BY). Anderson points out that while the content aims for an unbiased opinion, it still leans to a pro-P2P, pro-Creative Commons bias. From Teachingcopyright.org’s “About” page:
…when we surveyed existing digital education resources related to copyright, we were dismayed to find that much of the available material relied on inaccurate generalizations about technology and law. Rather than presenting unbiased facts and encouraging inquiry, the materials focused on drilling students on the prohibitions of copyright. As avid users of technology ourselves, we could not stand by and let this educational opportunity become an excuse to scare young people away from making full and fair use of the digital technologies that will continue to affect virtually every aspect of their lives.
