Quote notes (#25)
Ace calmly brings a sense of proportion to a racialized IP controversy:
… let’s all take a deep breath: While Robin Thicke may have ripped off a single Marvin Gaye song, it’s not as if he dug up Marvin Gaye’s corpse, raped it, videotaped himself raping Marvin Gaye’s corpse, and then sold that rape-tape to the world and became a millionaire.
Ace just invented a new genre.
Thanks.
