Janos,

I suspect this will have the opposite effect as intended. It will teach the kids that stealing music and films is cool. If the big media companies say it is bad, then it must be....

These kind of messages haven't exactly stopped kids drinking alcohol, taking drugs, sex, etc.

[what your children learn in school]

Studios Moving to Block Piracy of Films Online

.... fourth paragraph

Also, as early as next month the industry will begin promoting a "stealing
is bad" message in schools, teaming up with Junior Achievement on an
hourlong class for fifth through ninth graders on the history of copyright
law and the evils of online file sharing. The effort includes games like
Starving Artist, in which students pretend to be musicians whose work is
downloaded free from the Internet, and a crossword puzzle called Surfing
for Trouble.
