Captain Copyright: Wikipedia pirate!
Captain Copyright is the propaganda cartoon character created by Canada's Access Copyright agency to "educate kids about copyright, in the most biased, one-sided and intellectually dishonest way imaginable. Link (Thanks, Jim!)
Update: Allison sez, "I found one of the suggested Captain Copyright activities for grades 6-8 quite interesting. Activity 2: Does It Break the Law?, the stated purpose of which is 'To identify actions that infringe copyright,' suggests getting students to 'use a dictionary to define the word infringement. Ask students to share their definitions.' Hopefully, they're not going to be using Merriam-Webster online, which states 'No part of the work embodied in Merriam-Webster's pages on the World Wide Web and covered by the copyrights hereon may be reproduced or copied in any form or by any means—graphic, electronic, or mechanical, including photocopying, taping, or information storage and retrieval systems—without the written permission of the publisher.'"
