The recording industry group known as the IFPI, one with international support from some 1400 companies located all around the globe, has come to terms with a hard truth. No, it hasn’t caved to the pressures of the peer-to-peer crowd. That war is still very much in play. Rather, they understand that children are quite impressional young individuals, and can really absorb things like sponges, good and bad.
So while kids’ minds are still moldable and accepting of all sorts of information, the IFPI is taking the liberty to propagandize or educate them on “legal and safety issues surrounding online music,” according to Nate Andersen of Ars Technica. The international charity Childnet, in cooperation with the recording industry collective, has produced a music download guide that addresses all the right and wrong ways to purchase and manage their content.

Aces. To start, the guide will first be distributed in the UK and Singapore, and will later be sent off to 21 other countries. And, yes, because the technical specifics might fly right over the heads of many of today’s iPod-contained youth, they’ll be pressing adults to show succeeding generations how to convert word to action. Which may seem tedious at first, but take into account the added time spent with the kids, and it’s all good fun in the end.
