anti-counterfeiting course

Via Techdirt, you have to read the article in Inside Higher Ed about a sponsored anti-counterfeiting course at Hunter College where one of the activities was to create a counterfeit blog about events that didn't happen to create a guerrilla marketing message about why counterfeiting is bad.

I can't even begin to describe all the issues I have with this. Let's hope the article and community backlash serve as a cautionary tale for any other organization considering this.
