John Sullivan executed for stealing intellectual property
So, you thought stealing music was bad…
The very unfortunate John Sullivan was executed in for stealing intellectual property – a forged bank note worth about $1. Sure the news is about 200 years late (Sullivan’s execution occurred in 1798), but given that this occurred just two blocks from our office (where the plaque pictured below stands) I thought it’d be interesting to share.
Maybe we can make every October 11th (the date of John’s demise) intellectual property day. Any takers?
