Product Description

When a pig named Pig discovers a magic box able to make twenty-seven copies of anything you throw in it, his life is turned upside down with excitement! But as word spreads about his new toy, he finds it's not as easy as it seems to be in charge of endless possibilities... And perhaps he overreacts to all the attention. Just a smidge. "The Pig and the Box" is a modern fable that teaches kids and adults alike that sharing is always a good idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful and informative, March 17, 2009
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story, controversial topic, March 17, 2009
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.
