Dr Weinberger points in disbelief at the Captain Copyright website. He says

The site, set up by the Canadian Copyright Licensing Agency, suggests lame activities for teachers eager to inculcate copyright totalitarianism in their young charges. It’s unintentionally hilarious.

It is indeed a bizarre effort, which I am sure the average kid would regard with bewilderment if not contempt. Apparently, they are expected to vote for creating a copyright signal to be projected into the air to summon the Captain to… er… get everyone to stop copying things. As Hugh would say, beyond lame.
