I just saw this on both BoingBoing and MSNBC. The Los Angeles Council of the Boy Scouts of America is offering a merit badge in Copyright. Yup, that's right Copyright.
What about all of those campfire songs and skits that use songs without paying a residual fee to the copyright holder? This is going to really ruin the campfire.
"Fellow Scouts, I'm sorry but due to the recent Copyright Merit Badge, tonight's campfire has been cancelled." (Everyone slinks back to their tents where they listen to their iPods and watch downloaded TV shows on their laptops).
There are so many jokes with this one...
