"Whenever something closes in the UK, intellectual property rights revert 50% to the original creator and 50% to the Crown

    If they're already okay with IP in general, then it doesn't seem like much of a stretch. The whole thing is imaginary, arbitrary, and couldn't exist without the King's government.

    Why do you want to steal from the king? :-P
