Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum ... 16 men on a dead man's chest ... are you a Pirate ?

Are you a pirate? Things have to change ... watch the video and decide where you stand. But as an educator do you stand somewhere different? Is it a case of don't do as I do; do as I say? Or do you just not say? Are we educating our young people to think and act from knowledge or ignorance?

Watch the video (Thanks to the Whiteboard Blog and the original post of Lauren O'Grady for the 'heads up' on this)

Great to see a thoughtful contribution to the debate.

It's difficult to have sympathy with an industry which thinks it's a good idea to subject its customers to the kind of silly, "anti-piracy" adverts that have been appearing in cinemas lately, and then follows up with Knock Off Nigel on TV. They provide an insight into a strange world still in denial, which you'd think they wouldn't want on public display.

A great clip, a little balance for a change. Thanks Doug
