A very progressive woman named Lizzie Magie (MA-gee) worked for years to develop a board
game that would teach that we really don't want people to own property, and then charge enormous
amounts of money to let others use it. Although she did tons of work, (e.g. got a patent, then another
(on an updated version), and another, etc.) The rights to it were (basically) stolen from her, and the
"thief" became a millionaire, while she did not. Game maker Parker Brothers was involved.
Lizzie was pretty much forgotten about until in 1973, a Professor Ansprach, having his own dispute
with Parker Brothers (owned by Hasbro), found out about Lizzie and brought her situation up in court.
