Synopsis
On this episode of Monday Minutes, Tom chats about how the writer Charles Dickens related to the law. In the 1800s, he had to sue for copyright infringement, as someone was selling copies of The Christmas Carole without his permission. Additionally, his novel Bleak House led to legal reform in the UK. Listen to the episode to hear more about the case and how the UK law relates to laws we still have in the U.S.
