29: We are your Bad Art Friend

The internet broke this week — literally, like Facebook went down for six hours. But also figuratively, because Writer Twitter blew up with takes about a New York Times article about a lawsuit between two writers that none of us had previously heard of. Isabel indulges us by using her J.D. to dive into the legal proceedings in the landmark case Dawn v. Sonya (that’s not the actual name), and we learn how copyright law works! We’re your Bad Art Friend. 

Again, we have a discord now! So if you’re not a Patreon patron what are you waiting for?? But if your name is Craig you can get in free. Sorry we don’t make the rules.
