I spent fifteen minutes on the phone explaining to my niece why intellectual property law was fair for creators. I can't believe I was forced to defend capitalism like that, just because my brother married someone whose sister married an IP lawyer.
In other news, it tickles me that my kid-of-two-investment-bankers niece thinks that money from SpongeBob viewership and merch should be given to everyone who watches the show. If she wasn't in a different country, I'd hug her for being a lil leftie like me!
