Intellectual Property and You: A Lesson of Relative Value

Do you go to networking parties and tell people about how you have three novels with lots of publisher interest and because you're totally a starving artist who couldn't afford to copyright them, you mailed your brilliant manuscripts to yourself and never opened them? Then you might want to consider becoming an "Intellectual Property Donor©"! You see, an intellectual property donor is someone who thinks their intellectual property is sooooooo valuable that John & Jane Q. Mogul will be knocking down his or her next of kin's doors to option the many sublime works he or she created before passing on to the networking party in the sky. According to this guide to becoming an IPD©, by donating your IP you "promote the progress of science and useful arts". Hopefully by the time you die MySpace surveys and tumblrs are considered useful arts. Do something useful and become a real donor, please.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an Intellectual Property Donor© because there is no shortage on misplaced commas, awkward syntax, and run-on sentences. I am, however, an actual donor.
