ChildNet launches new downloading guide
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 10 November 2010
Childnet International, a not-for-profit organisation that aims to “help make the internet a great and safe place for children”, has released a new guide for parents and teachers on online copyright. It aims to equip said parents and teachers with the knowledge they need to work out what music, film and TV services online are legit, and the information they require to explain to those pesky file-sharing kids why copyright infringement is evil and will result in eternal damnation. Or in grass roots musicians living off dust.
The new guide, backed by record label trade bodies BPI and IFPI, is being promoted by one time Hear’sayer, current ‘Cori’ actress and celebrity mum Kym Marsh, who told reporters: “I find it incredibly hard to keep up with what my two teenagers are doing online, so can definitely see the value of a new guide for muddled mums like myself who are concerned about safety issues. As an actress and former musician, I’m also keen to raise greater awareness of the many sites that offer entertainment legally”.
