Corporations working hard to train kids to fear copyright

Wired has an article about California's forthcoming copyright curriculum.

The idea appears to be to teach kids that copying anything is bad, and to ignore fair use.

I worry about this because I'm constantly noticing that people's casual knowledge of copyright tends towards fear that something isn't allowed. People are already overworried about this sort of thing.
