Release

Randor Guy of The Hindu wrote "Remembered for MKT’s scintillating songs and the comedy by NSK-TAM."[2]

gollark: It's one of these fascinating bits of weirdness where the law interacts with reality, and it's as far as I know mostly determined by who throws most money at lawyers.

gollark: Of course, some are already illegal to use or whatever due to copyright.
gollark: If someone throws enough money at lawyers I think you could have some poems be illegal because they contain some sort of encoded illegal content, yes.
