Oscar has written a play, I'm not sure if it is supposed to be any good. But the only one who seems to have even read it, and even half understood what he is trying to say, is opposing counsel tasked with scuttling his infringement claim.

Hard to tell what Gaddis really thinks about copyright. He's clearly aggrieved by misappropriation for vulgar or commercial use, but also seems to be saying that while stealing is against the Law, there's no such thing as stealing when you're making Art - even if, or maybe especially when, you are taking something from somewhere else and making it your own. Shakespeare copies Plutarch; Oscar Plato, but then sues.
