        The Fourth day of Christmas

Electrical Fairy Tale" uploaded to

** Great short story that mixes faith and intellectual property issue.
If you've been unsure why a limited copyright span is a good thing for
all people, this will help to understand. Plus it is very entertaining
and thoughtful. One of the funniest, most relevant pieces I've read
this year (and yes, there *are* US politicians pulling weight for
extension of copyright protection to a duration of eternal minus one
day, as to not be busy prosecuting folks when judgement comes, how
considerate!).
