My dual life combines once in awhile. Much of my time is spent in an alternative universe known as the PC game industry.
One of the things I do is write articles for the various game mags. We've been discussing on the Stardock news servers how few people really understand how the US legal system actually works as opposed to how the law is designed.
If you're interested, I've written an article that talks about intellectual property laws and how they tend to function in the real world along with some of my personal experience involved in lawsuits over the years (lots of pain).
