To anyone who disagrees with the preceding, the word "education" seems more like "propaganda", since (to the best of my knowledge) neither your Copyright Alliance, the RIAA, or other creators-rights based organizations have any intention of fostering a debate over these issues. Even given the assumption that the average "anti-copyright" individual is simply motivated by the ability to steal free content, many of the proposals by those such as Lessig are shared by famous lawyers, judges, and politicians who cared deeply about the issue. Match their arguments and defeat them rather than trying to orchestrate a one-sided fight in schools and universities where only your voice is heard.
