Comedians Stand Up to Joke Thieves Without Lawyers [audio]

Jan. 10 (Bloomberg Law) -- When comedian Joe Rogan confronted Carlos Mencia on stage over accusations of joke-stealing, the videotaped argument went viral and was viewed more than five million times. The argument led Dotan Oliar and Christopher Sprigman, two professors from the University of Virginia School of Law, to explore how stand-up comedians protect their intellectual property. Oliar and Sprigman talk with Bloomberg Law's Josh Block.

Ok, at 2:50, this law professor is saying that VIOLENCE is an acceptable solution to joke-theft?

What ASSHOLE did this CUNT crawl out of?

"If you don't like the law's remedies, you can take the law into your own hands."

I can't believe that this douchebag is a professor of law.

Ok, I can believe it, I'm just appalled.

Title is misleading along with a description including mention of a "video tape".

This is a podcast. Come on man. Your title should be:

"Podcast - Comedians Stand Up to Joke Thieves"
