After performing comedy bits at a friend's cabin, Dave Brown saw his own jokes performed on TV by someone who had been at the cabin. Inspired to write his Master of Fine Arts thesis on joke-theft in stand-up comedy, Dave argues existing copyright laws must be changed to better protect comedians' work. Joke theft should be taken as seriously as other copyright infringement.
