Captain Copyright clubbed to death

Access Copyright hoped that Captain Copyright materials would find their way into schools and libraries and convert kids from their evil pirating ways.

The pilot project included study kits, comic strips and colouring activities.

The program was attacked by a mob of boggers as being one sided and not telling kids about such things as 'Fair Use' or the Public Domain.

The Canadian Library Association condemned the initiative for a lack of balance. Things tend to go badly for those who are accused by librarians, and Access Copyright said it would revise and refine the materials.

Material disappeared from the site, but the initiative carried on and there was much talk of a rewrite.

Now according to slyck.com, the initiative has been scrapped, and so apparently Captain Copyright will fly no more, or so it goes. µ
