Hello,
when I first read that britisch school kids should get education in copyright law, I first thought "wow great, at least they learn something reasonable". But then I followed the link and I saw what it really is about... it's all influenced by the music industry - and now guess in which direction it goes. :-(
see: 'Stealing songs is wrong' lessons head for UK schools http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/05/uk_school_copyright_lessons/

And before someone asks a stupid question: Of course it has to do with software - it's the same copyight law. Anything you can say about downloading music also applies to downloading software. (There is just less good free music yet than there is free software)
