At the risk of being accused of judging a DVD by its cover,
these content
partners are uniformly copyright owners or enforcers. I
would be very
wary of an "educational" offering that was so
heavily, nay, *uniformly*
one-sided on the side of the copyright owners' interests.
I would expect any objectively educational offering to
include substantial
input from organizations representing copyright consumers,
e.g., the
American Library Association, the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, the
Consumer Project on Technology, Stanford's Copyright &
Fair Use Center,
etc., as well as that from the organizations representing
copyright
owners.
