kids and copyright/piracy stuff (1 Viewer)

Interesting discussion.
Would you get your kids pirate DVDs and DVDs of films that are not released yet?

Personally I'd say no. Just saying it's illegal isn't enough. Kids need to understand that they can't just get what they want when they want it and waiting for the dvd release just has to be done. Plus with both parents here involved in artistic stuff I don't think we should devalue creativity. You may say "fuck the studios", "fuck the law", "fuck capitolism" etc. but spoiling kids has long term effects for them.... or does it, what do you think?

Completely agree.

I'd see introducing kids to the finer points of intellectual property law as a separate issue to spoiling them.

If I had a kid who could figure out port forwarding I'd put him in the circus.

No, wouldn’t be into it.
They’d get so disappointed when they discover that the people making these free DVD’s are nerds in front of a computer rather than dudes with swords on boats. It’d totally destroy their love of fantasy and imagination.

Then have your kids read "Some of your friends are already this fucked" by Steve Albini.
