U.S. Government Official Educates Texas Children About Intellectual Property Theft

Round Rock, Texas – U.S. Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Stephen Pinkos today asked elementary students attending Camp Invention to help combat piracy, counterfeiting and copyright violations by refraining from illegally copying and downloading music, movies, software and computer games. Pinkos reminded the children that copying or downloading others’ property without their permission is a crime and that such theft has real consequences on our economy. Pinkos delivered his remarks to more than 80 students at Gattis Elementary School in Round Rock, Texas.

“Intellectual property can be anything—a car, medicine, a toy, a video game or a CD—as long as the product began as an idea,” Pinkos told the students. “It is important that people—especially children—show respect for others’ property. That includes not illegally copying and downloading video games and movies from the Internet. This is not okay—it’s breaking the law.”
