[John Harrison]

I would hope that members of this this would sign up to be instructors
for this activity patch in their wards and teach scouts about fair
use, first sale doctrine, how DRM circumvents your rights, and about
alternatives to traditional copyright such as Creative Commons
materials and Open Source Software.

>From the article is looks like this program is an attempt by studios
to present a very limited view of what copyright is.
