U.S. Government Official Educates Ohio Students About Intellectual Property Theft

New Albany, Ohio – United States Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Stephen Pinkos today told students at New Albany Elementary School how they can help combat piracy, counterfeiting and copyright violations. Pinkos delivered his remarks to more than 275 third grade students at New Albany Elementary School in New Albany, Ohio.

“What if you came up with a song, but then someone acted like it was theirs and made all the money from it? Wouldn't that bother you?,” Pinkos asked the students. “It's important to respect other people's property—just like you would want people not to steal something that you invent or create. None of us would steal DVDs or games from our friend's house – and no one should do it just because the DVDs or games happen to be on the Internet. You can let your friends know that it's not okay.”
