Was thinking of this after a conversation I had on a thread about dreams. Someone joked “I was dreaming of the events of The Matrix, then I was woken up by someone worried my dream was infringing the Wachowski’s copyrights”, and it turned into a whole train of thought in my mind, like violating IP law because you stole fire from Zeus which was his intellectual property.

Parents have to pay a fee for the firstname they give their kids. Popular firstnames cost more, gross ones cost less.

The kids themselves have to pay again for it monthly, their whole live long.
