1. Some people have WAY too much time on their hands. It is a game. Laissez-faire-opoly just doesn't have the same ring to it as Monopoly. Wouldn't fit on the box cover either.

2. As for the theft, it reminds me of Eddie Murphy's "Black History" skit on Saturday Night Live where he accuses two white men, Mr. Skip and Mr. Jiffy, of stealing the idea for peanut butter from George Washington Carver. :-)
