Graphic novel created as part of the Oxford Literacy Project to promote literacy and an understanding of the law for indigenous students. In this story, J creates a poster that wins first prize in an art competition. Three weeks later he stumbles across a man selling t-shirts with his design on them. When the man refuses to stop selling and give J any compensation, J and his "Pop" consult a copyright lawyer about his rights and threaten to take the man to court. In the end, J wins and has his designs legitimately put on t-shirts with appropriate payment.
