We reviewed plagarism that we learned in the Weekly Readers Crime Fighting Canines Unit buy using the I-SAFE Donny the Downloader program. This program is a featuring fast-paced animated videos starring themisadventures of Donny. Donny is a 14-year old who’s tech-savvy, but unaware of thebigger picture of why illegal downloading hurts the same performing artists andsongwriters whose music he loves. The program centers on the negative reactions fromthe other kids and adults in his life who he tries to impress with his access to supposedly“free” music, while demystifying the process of how music is created.In addition to the animated "Donny" segments, the assembly also features compellingv ideo segments that introduce real-life, 17-year-old aspiring music creator, Sonya Bender. The videos follow Sonya as she meets with music creators, producers andpublishers to get an unfiltered perspective on how illegally downloaded music negativelyimpacts their ability to make a living from being creative.
