(InfoWorld) - A Beijing court has convicted and fined operators of a pirated DVD shop Monday, the Motion Picture Association (MPA) said. The owners of the shop, Beijing Century Hai Hong Trading Co., were found guilty of copyright infringement for selling pirated copies of DVD movies. Judge Song Guang of the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court ordered the company to pay damages of 164,000 yuan ($20,964) to the copyright holders, and to immediately cease sale of all pirated DVDs. The pirated films sold by Beijing Century Hai Hong were all from MPA member companies, but the MPA did not state which members nor name the films involved in the case, in a Tuesday statement. The MPA is the international arm of the Motion Picture Association of America, the American film industry's lobbying group. It is comprised of Hollywood's largest film studios: Buena Vista International; Paramount Pictures; Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Twentieth Century Fox International; Sony Pictures Releasing International; Warner Brothers International Theatrical Distribution; and Universal International Films.

The British Department for Education and Skills (DfES) recently launched a "Music Manifesto" campaign, with the ostensible intention of educating the next generation of British musicians. Unfortunately, they also teamed up with the music industry (EMI, and various artists) to make this popular. EMI has apparently negotiated their end well, so that children in our schools will now be indoctrinated about the illegality of downloading music.The ignorance and audacity of this got to me a little, so I wrote an open letter to the DfES about it. Unfortunately, it's pedantic, as I suppose you have to be when writing to goverment representatives. But I hope you find it useful, and perhaps feel inspired to do something similar, if or when the same thing has happened in your area.
