“Alfred Mosher Butts died in 1993, meaning that under current law, Scrabble will be protected under copyright until 2063. And yet, if Scrabble was treated under the copyright law it was initially published under, it would have come out of copyright in 1994.”

“But if you’re thinking about something that doesn’t result in lethal force, that’s more tricky. It’s really hard for people to get their heads around, I think. To be that good, to not actually lethally injure anyone, requires an extremely high level of skill that would take maybe 15 to 18 years to accumulate.”

“Why see The Dark Knight in an Imax theater? As P-Funk front man George Clinton once succinctly explained to us, ”Cuz that shit is motherfuckin’ huuuuuge.’”

Not getting enough Christian Bale?
