Propaganda is probably too light of a term to describe this piece of propaganda.
We’re referring to an educational comic strip (fat .pdf) on unlawful file sharing of music developed by judges and professors to teach students about the law and the courtroom experience.
It was produced by the National Center for State Courts, a nonprofit describing itself as an « organization dedicated to improving the administration of justice by providing leadership and service to court systems in the United States. »
But the story line here is a miscarriage of justice at best — even erroneously describing file sharing as a city crime punishable by up to two years in prison.

« The purpose is basically to educate kids — middle school and high school-aged about how the justice system operates and about what really goes on in the courtroom as opposed to what you see on television, » said Lorri Montgomery, the center’s communications director.
