"The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
And geese will still a common lack
Till they go and steal it back "

While researching, I came across "Theft: A History of Music"

263 pages of graphic novel goodness published by Duke uni... and free (well, )

web.law.duke.edu/musiccomic/do

Front cover of the graphic novel. Has on overtitle, "Tales from the public domain" and undertitle "A tale of law and music that leads through the gates of time". In a metropolitan, US-looking city, three apparent music superheroes fight off a crowd of intellectual property zombies.

@douginamug really good! I didn't know of it. My only critique is that the line "such as the seed genetics[5], the human genome[6] and taxpayer funded drug research.[7]" makes no sense to me

@liaizon the poem gets referenced a lot in research and discussion about privatisation of commons. Those three things are concrete examples where it gets quoted.

Any idea how to phrase better?
