Garret the Ferret: Brainwashing the Young About Copyright

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

JD Lasica pulls down the pants of a Business Software Alliance campaign using a comic book ferret, Garret, to instill all sorts of pernicious notions about copyright and "cybercrime". This is targeted at grade school kids, note.

David Weinberger's one liner is priceless: "JD Lasica pastes Garrett the Copyright Totalitarian Ferret Who The Kids Love right in his snot-filled little nose."

Sheila Lennon digs in on the side of the angels, too.
