Spies Among Us
Filed Under Privacy | Leave a Comment
Every quasi-governmental organization needs their own spies. Why am I not surprised that the MPAA has spies all over the country? I am surprised that the Boy Scouts of America (BSA, not to be confused with the Business Software Alliance the software equivalent of the MPAA and RIAA) is are the spies. Though, the longer I think about, the more it makes sense that this was probably started by some dad whose kid is in the BSA and dreamed up this idea.
Be loyal, kind and don’t steal movies:
A Boy Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, etc., etc. He is also respectful of copyrights.Boy Scouts in the Los Angeles area will now be able to earn a merit patch for learning about the evils of downloading pirated movies and music.
The patch shows a film reel, a music CD and the international copyright symbol, a “C” enclosed in a circle.
