don’t be a copycat

Argh! I’m so sick of super-hero/stupid cartoon animals telling kids how they should act.

Captain Copyright The Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) has decided that what they need is a super-hero, the cringe worthy Captain Copyright to teach the kids that bullies are copyright infringers (or is it that copyright infringers are bullies).

Another case of getting to the kids early to prevent them from being under peer pressure to download movies off the net when they’re copy-happy teenagers.

I’m not certain the kids will be buying it though, it’s too corny for words.

Remember kids, if you study from photocopies of textbooks you won’t get A’s:

“Word got around that the copied textbooks weren’t such a great deal after all, and by the end of the semester the store that sold them was out of business. And we both got “As”… Thanks to Captain Copyright”

Update: Na’im’s picture of Captain Interlineation:

Oh no! You’re copyright infringing the Batman(TM) symbol!!! I think we’re going to have a fight between the super powers :P

    Ooh, I\’ve got one too.

    First panel:
    An elderly couple are sitting in the office with their lawyer.
    Lawyer: \”There we go. I\’ve added the extra pages to the wills that you signed last week. But, I can\’t help think that we\’ve forgotten something.\”

    Second panel:
    There is a tapping at the window, where, outside, a skinny man in a business suit, wearing thick glasses, a
    Batman children\’s blanket as a cape, and his underwear outside his pants is motioning to the lawyer to open the window.

    Third panel:
    Skinny man: \”Wait, you can\’t go yet, elderly couple!\”
    Lawyer: \”Who are you? Why?\”
    Skinny man: \”Why, I\’m Captain Interlineation! You\’ve forgotten to initial those additional documents!\”

    Fourth panel:
    Lawyer: \”Of course! How could I forget? Quickly, initial here, here and here.\”
    The elderly couple initial the extra pages.

    Fifth panel:
    Captain Interlineation: \”And now, I must go, for somewhere, someone is forgetting to initial an important document.\”
    All: \”Thanks, Captain Interlineation!\”
    Captain Interlineation jumps through the window, gets his foot caught on the window sill, and falls flat on his face.

    …… Meh. I didn\’t say it was any good.
