Addendum

Specifically, all intellectual property will be protected for twelve years except for Pac-Man, which is protected in perpuity and the penalty for infringement is exile from the solar system. Twelve years is a highly scientific number which reminds us of clocks, which are ticking as we wait for a space monster.

The Biggest Potential Disaster

What happens when most of us have moved to an array of space colonies spread throughout the solar system and then a big space monster comes through and chomps us all up like Pac-Man? The only solution I can see is to have Bandai Namco sue the menace, and for that to happen we might have to change our intellectual property laws.

Addendum

The Trolls of Gummi Bears. The Ghosts of Pac-Man. The Simon Bar Sinister of Underdog, which sounds like some kind of allegedly deconstructionist remake. Too bad nobody knows what deconstruction means.
