Looking for a short story on copyright micropayments

February 29, 2012 10:01 AM

Looking for a dystopian short story that made the rounds around half a year ago about intellectual property. It was (I believe) a father and daughter who go through emails and have to make micropayments for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, etc. Any thoughts? I may have seen it on MeFi or Boing Boing, and my google-fu is failing me.

That was a great story! I'm glad you asked this, I'd never have read it otherwise!

That was a terrifying story. I, too, am glad you asked this, otherwise I'd never have read it either.
