p-a store

As much as I love Penny-Arcade, they have a long history of serious lameness in the "store" category. Seriously, hordes, HORDES of hungry fans were left trying to buy their P-A goods from something put together from chickenwire and the oddly deformed import jewelcases of Japanese PlayStation games. It looks like they've finally wised up and put up a storefront at ThinkGeek.

How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
