Curiously omitted from both essays (unless I somehow completely overlooked it) is the ending of this apocryphal story. The judge asks the accused infringer to take a coin out of his pocket and drop it on the table, saying "The sound of the coin shall pay for the smell of the food."


Thanks for adding this. This is brilliant on the part of the judge.
