One day, Pig finds a magic box that can replicate anything you put into it. Pig becomes so protective of his box, and so suspicious of anyone that wants to use it, that he takes drastic measures. He forces everyone to take their copied items home in special buckets... buckets designed to protect. but might not be so good for anyone else... "The Pig and the Box" is a modern fable that teaches kids and adults alike that sometimes, yes, it's a good idea to trust and to share.

Wonderful and informative,

This review is from: The Pig and the Box (Paperback)
This was a wonderful way to teach children about DRM. In a world set against the free exchange of information(or carrots) it's a great idea to make it fun to learn that human knowledge belongs to the people.

Cute story, controversial topic,
This review is from: The Pig and the Box (Paperback)
This is a very cute and simple story about a complex and controversial topic. It shows the essence of what DRM can do, and what can happen if people are willing to share like we've all been told to do as children.
