The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has recently released a relatively wordy children’s workbook aimed at 9 – 14-year olds. The program is designed to teach children about what a copyright is, how a copyright is enforced, what constitutes ‘fair use’, and even how Public-Domain works.
