A prehistoric cave scene. A bare-chested red-haired caveman in a fur loincloth stands and shouts, "TWENTY DOLLARS! TWENTY DOLLARS!" In the foreground, two other people embrace intimately, ignoring him. The caption below reads: "Fortunately, sex was invented before copyright law." The joke casts the shouting caveman as a prostitute/rights-holder demanding payment while the lovers simply share intimacy freely. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of a bearded man's face looking indignant, declaring, "NO SHARING! SHARING IS KILLING THE SEX INDUSTRY!" — a parody of anti-piracy rhetoric applied to sex.
