America is built on intellectual property, but it's owners of the property who are beholden to the audience and how they consume media. Elizabeth Wurtzel has never made IP more sexier than it is right now. (

I'm a fan of [ai:Elizabeth Wurtzel|4370|Elizabeth Wurtzel|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1209360163p2/4370.jpg] and have read all of her books. No matter what anyone may think of her, she is a great writer. She takes what could be a boring subject, the Intellectual Property clause of the United States' constitution and makes a compelling, as well as entertaining, argument that it is the reason why the U.S. has been a source of great art for the past two centuries.
