Scout Merit Badge for IP Respect
According to the press release issued by the MPA (the international version of the MPAA),
On April 30, the Motion Picture Association (MPA), Hong Kong Scout Association, Hong Kong Intellectual Property Department (IPD) and Hong Kong Customs & Excise Department launched the Intellectual Property Badge Award Program, the world’s first Scout merit badge program focused on respect for and protection of intellectual property.
I'm not quite sure whether this is a great move, or a questionable one. It's wonderful that Hong Kong officials have taken action to encourage the youth to respect intellectual property. However, I'm a little cynical about the involvement of the MPA to accomplish this. For more on the issue, see the comments to the article MPA Launches Scout Merit Badge Program for Intellectual Property Respect.
