Teaching respect for copyright and intellectual property os part of a proposed manditory curriculum in the U.K. But this particular bit of a child's moral education sidesteps the fact that the morality of current intellectual property legislation is highly contested. "Young people, and other people, believe in a version of the copyright law that is different from the one now on the books.
