How is it that a paper on Down by Law is like pulling teeth, but I can write a page on copyright law in...I dunno, it seemed like 15 minutes?

Anyway.

Dear yuletide Santa,

I love you. I really do. Not as much as I love procrastination, though (or, apparently, intellectual property). Expect more detailed requests/instructions at a later date, but in the meantime, I'm perfectly content to trust your judgment. The fact that you're even doing this makes you an awesome person.

Although if you've ever read Michael Chabon...feel free to imitate/quote/plagiarize. I'd enjoy that.
