Wired: Nonprofit Distributes File Sharing Propaganda to 50,000 U.S. Students

A nonprofit legal organization whose mission is to foster an understanding of the U.S. court system, has distributed 50,000 leaflets to students that erroneously say peer-to-peer file sharing of copyrighted music is a crime, with a maximum two-year sentence and $25,000 fine. The National Center for State Courts tells Wired.com that the purpose of the literature, which is propaganda at its finest, is "to educate kids."
