LOS ANGELES — A Boy Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, etc., etc. He is also respectful of copyrights. Boy Scouts in the Los Angeles area will now be able to earn an activity patch for learning about the evils of downloading pirated movies and music.

The patch shows a film reel, a music CD and the international copyright symbol, a "C" enclosed in a circle.

so not only do we have religious nutters comming to our houses telling me how I'm going to hell for whatever reason, now we have boyscouts comming around telling us we're going to hell for downloading episodes of 7th heaven too? The internet is the devil's hands and turns us all into his playthings OMG REPENT

Awesome so that means you can learn about it... get a super sweet badge... then continue to download stuff?!

In all seriousness thats ranks up there with some of the most retarded s*** I've heard/read lately.

hahah... yeah, barloo says "torrents are bad". now scouts know about torrents.

how long do you have to not-download before you get the patch?

cool, good on em

i would like to see the scouts release a "no kiddly fiddling" badge

i think that would be moderately popular

The alternative is to earn the "no-cd patch"

They should do one for priests and have more honor gained the longer you've served without touching kids.
