Respect Copyrights
Members of the Motion Picture Association of America, Inc. (MPAA) created this Web site to educate people about the negative effects of illegally downloading movies and violating copyright law. It includes an introduction to copyright law, reasons why illegal downloading is bad, and the primer “What’s the Diff? A Guide to Digital Citizenship for Volunteers and Teachers” geared towards educating middle school students about copyright law as it applies to digital objects. There’s a television commercial as part of the campaign, too, where movie industry employees talk about their jobs and how copyright laws benefit more people than the actors, actresses, and directors.
