Copyright Debate: The Conference Game
=====================================
There are 52 cards in a deck. Each card refers to a single popular word
used in the copyright debate. Prepare yourself beforehand: by reading
the cards before the event and selecting cards containing words you
expect to be used by the speakers. Every card in this deck has been
tagged with appropriate alignment: chaotic (red), neutral (yellow) or
lawful (green). The colors are to distinguish words which should be
avoided from those which should be used extensively.
If the speaker uses a word to avoid, take the Chaotic (red) card and
raise it over your head to make a point in the debate. If the speaker
uses proper wording, take the proper Lawful (green) card to encourage
him/her and to show your support. Use Neutral (yellow) cards to show
the speakers that they are navigating murky linguistic waters. Even
very few people in the conference room using the cards can raise
awareness of the importance of the copyright language. Share your
cards with others if you have enough and refer the peers to
[copyspeak.org](/).
