The US Supreme Court's 2023 ruling in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard made it illegal for colleges and universities to use race as a factor in choosing their incoming classes. As a result, schools are working harder than ever to recruit and admit first-generation and lower-income applicants to preserve the diversity of their student bodies. But the Boston University sociologist Anthony Abraham Jack says American higher education wasn't ready for the diversity they were recruiting before the Court's ruling—and they're still not ready now. His research shows how schools often fail to acknowledge the inequities of class and race that students bring to campus from home. The solution? Pop the campus bubble and begin looking at the ways that place impacts the challenges low-income and first-generation students face. Anthony Abraham Jack is the Inaugural Faculty Director of the Newbury Center at Boston University, where he is an associate professor of higher education leadership at the Wheelock College of Education and Human Development. He has earned awards from the American Educational Studies Association, the American Sociological Association, and the Association for the Study of Higher Education, among others. His first book, The Privileged Poor: How Elite Colleges Are Failing Disadvantaged Students, earned awards from the Association for the Study of Higher Education and the Eastern Sociological Association and was named one of National Public Radio's Best Books of 2019. His second book, Class Dismissed: When Colleges Ignore Inequality, and Students Pay the Price, won the PROSE Award in Education Theory and Practice from the Association of American Publishers. Anthony Abraham Jack received his PhD in sociology from Harvard Griffin GSAS in 2016.

Avsnitt 271. Vissa saker är svåra att hitta på. När vi tror att vi vet så blir vi alltid överraskade. Som det här med den AI-översatta boken i Finland som ledde till en animerad debatt i media med fingrar pekande åt... fel håll  När Norstedts nu köper över författaren Mari Jungstedt från Bonniers i en mångmiljonaffär är vi, självklart, nyfikna på vad som ingår i affären, vad den kostar och hur Norstedts ska ro den i hamn. Så journalisten satte sig ner i ett samtal med förlagschefen Håkan Bravinger. Efteråt vill vi gärna vända och vrida på fler stenar, perspektiv kanske, så då gör vi just det. Slutligen, en liten uppföljning till den kommande kraftmätningen mellan de amerikanska teknikbolagen (med Trump på sin sida) och de copyrightförsvarande organisationerna. Denna gång i USA. Följ gärna länken nedan för en mer insiktsfull redogörelse för situationen just nu: https://publishers.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/White-House-AI-Action-Plan-Association-of-American-Publishers.pdf   00 23         Hur var det nu?

In an era where even toothpaste shopping can trigger an existential crisis, intellectual historian Sophia Rosenfeld explore how we became both imprisoned and freed by endless options. Her new book The Age of Choice traces our evolution from a world where nobility bragged about not having any choices to one where choice itself has become our modern religion. From voting booths to gender identity, from Amazon's infinite scroll to dating apps' endless swipes, Rosenfeld reveals how "freedom of choice" conquered modern life - and why having too many options might be making us less free than we'd like to think.Here are the 5 KEEN ON takeaways from our conversation with Rosenfeld:* Choice wasn't always central to freedom: Historically, especially among nobility, freedom was associated with not having to make choices. The modern equation of freedom with endless choice is a relatively recent development that emerged alongside consumer capitalism and democracy.* The transformation of choice from moral to preferential: There's been a fundamental shift from viewing choice primarily as a moral decision (like Hercules choosing between right and wrong paths) to seeing it as an expression of personal preference (like choosing between toothpaste brands). The mere act of having choice became morally significant, rather than actually making the "right" choice.* Democracy's evolution transformed voting: The shift to secret ballots in the late 19th century marked a crucial change in how we exercise democratic choice, moving from communal decision-making to private, individual choice - a change that philosophers like John Stuart Mill actually opposed, fearing it would reduce democracy to consumer-style selection.* Choice can work against collective good: While individual choice is celebrated as freedom, it can actually hinder addressing collective challenges like climate change or public health, where limiting individual choices might better serve the common good.* The paradox of modern choice: While we've extended choice into previously unthinkable areas (gender identity, sexuality, family relationships), many people are simultaneously seeking ways to reduce choice overload - from AI recommendations to personal shoppers - suggesting we may have reached the limits of how much choice we can handle.Sophia Rosenfeld is Walter H. Annenberg Professor of History and Chair of the Department of History at the University of Pennsylvania, where she teaches European and American intellectual and cultural history with a special emphasis on the Enlightenment, the trans-Atlantic Age of Revolutions, and the legacy of the eighteenth century for modern democracy. Her newest book, to be published by Princeton University Press in February 2025, is entitled The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life. It explores how, between the 17th century and the present, the idea and practice of making choices from menus of options came to shape so many aspects of our existences, from consumer culture to human rights, and with what consequences. She is also the author of A Revolution in Language: The Problem of Signs in Late Eighteenth-Century France (Stanford, 2001); Common Sense: A Political History (Harvard, 2011), which won the Mark Lynton History Prize and the Society for the History of the Early American Republic Book Prize; and Democracy and Truth: A Short History (Penn Press, 2019). Her articles and essays have appeared in leading scholarly journals, including the American Historical Review, the Journal of Modern History, French Historical Studies, and the William and Mary Quarterly, as well as publications such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Dissent, and, frequently, The Nation. From 2013 to 2017, she co-edited the journal Modern Intellectual History. In 2022, A Cultural History of Ideas, a 6 volume book series covering antiquity to the present for which she was co-general editor with Peter Struck, appeared with Bloomsbury and won the Association of American Publishers' award for best reference work in the humanities. Her writing has been or is being translated into French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Hindi, Korean, and Chinese. Rosenfeld received her B.A. from Princeton University and her Ph.D. from Harvard University. She has held fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the School of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton, the Mellon Foundation, both the Remarque Institute and the Center for Ballet and the Arts at NYU, the Institute for Advanced Studies in Paris, and the American Council of Learned Societies, as well as visiting professorships at the University of Virginia School of Law and the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris). Prior to arriving at Penn in January 2017, she was Professor of History at Yale University and, before that, the University of Virginia. She also served a three-year term from 2018 to 2021 as Vice President of the American Historical Association, where she was in charge of the Research Division. In 2022, she held the Kluge Chair in Countries and Cultures of the North at the Library of Congress, and she was also named by the French government Officier dans l'Ordre des Palmes Académiques. Among her other ongoing interests are the history of free speech, dissent, and censorship; the history of aesthetics (including dance); the history of political language; political theory (contemporary and historical); the history of epistemology; the history of information and misinformation; the history of the emotions and senses; the history of feminism; universities and democracy; and experimental historical methods.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

There are few men politically or intellectually smarter than President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary Robert McNamara. So how did LBJ and McNamara screw up America's involvement in Vietnam so tragically? According to Peter Osnos, the author of LBJ and McNamara: The Vietnam Partnership Destined to Fail, it might have been because the two men were, in their own quite different ways, too smart. For Osnos - a legendary figure in American publishing who, amongst many other things, edited Donald Trump's Art of the Deal - the catastrophe of America's war in Vietnam is a parable about imperial hubris and overreach. According to Osnos, who has access to much previously unpublished material from McNamara, The Best and the Brightest orchestrated the worst and dumbest episode in American foreign policy. Peter Osnos began his journalism career in 1965 as an assistant to I. F. .Stone on his weekly newsletter. Between 1966–1984 Osnos was a reporter and foreign correspondent for The Washington Post and served as the newspaper's foreign and national editor. From 1984-1996 he was Vice President, Associate Publisher, and Senior Editor at Random House and Publisher of Random House's Times Books division. In 1997, he founded PublicAffairs. He served as Publisher and CEO until 2005, and was a consulting editor until 2020 when he and his wife, Susan Sherer Osnos, launched Platform Books LLC. Among the authors he has published and/or edited are — former President Jimmy Carter, Rosalyn Carter, Gen. Wesley Clark, Clark Clifford, former President Bill Clinton, Paul Farmer, Earvin (Magic) Johnson, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Sam Donaldson, Kenneth Feinberg, Annette Gordon Reed, Meg Greenfield, Dorothy Height, Don Hewitt, Molly Ivins, Vernon Jordan, Ward Just, Stanley Karnow, Wendy Kopp, Charles Krauthammer, Brian Lamb, Jim Lehrer, Scott McClellan, Robert McNamara, Charles Morris, Peggy Noonan, William Novak, Roger Mudd. Former President Barack Obama, Speaker of the House Thomas P. (Tip) O'Neill, Nancy Reagan, Andy Rooney, Morley Safer, Natan Sharansky, George Soros, Susan Swain, President Donald Trump, Paul Volcker, Russian President Boris Yeltsin, and Nobel peace prize Winner Muhammad Yunus, as well as journalists from America's leading publications and prominent scholars. Osnos has also been a commentator and host for National Public Radio and a contributor to publications including Foreign Affairs, The Atlantic, and The New Republic. He wrote the Platform column for the Century Foundation, the Daily Beast and The Atlantic.com from 2006-2014. He has also served as Chair of the Trade Division of the Association of American Publishers and on the board of Human Rights Watch. From 2005-2009, he was executive director of The Caravan Project, funded by the MacArthur and Carnegie Foundations, which developed a plan for multi-platform publishing of books. He was the Vice-Chairman of the Columbia Journalism Review from  2007-2012. He is a member of The Council on Foreign Relations. He is a graduate of Brandeis and Columbia Universities. He lives in New York City, with his wife Susan, a consultant to human rights and philanthropic organizations. His children are Evan L.R. Osnos and Katherine Sanford.

Propaganda is ubiquitous, and everyone uses propaganda. It's a kind of communication that makes a case for a goal, bypassing reason. Propaganda is a method to urge you to mobilize towards something while concealing from you things that you reasonably should think, should consider. The word propaganda by itself is neither good nor bad because we talk of abolitionist propaganda. We talk about the propaganda that people use in social movements. Martin Luther King Jr. talked about the need for propaganda because you need to get people to reconsider their racist assumptions. The goal of propaganda is to connect neutral words to other things. Propaganda will always be here. Our words always have these associations, any word I have. The goal is to have lots of different ways of living and lots of different ways of thinking and to recognize that we're not a threat to each other. ------------------------------------------------------------ About Jason Stanley: Jason Stanley is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University.

Devil's Advocate: Why worry about fascism? with Jason Stanley Up next: ►► The 10 tactics of fascism   • The 10 tactics of fascism | Jason Sta...   Fascism is a very particular ideological structure. The first pillar is the Mythic Past. Then there's Propaganda. Anti-intellectualism. Unreality. Hierarchy. Victimhood. Law and order. Sexual anxiety. Sodom and Gomorrah. And then finally, Arbeit macht frei- 'work shall make you free.' Each of these elements taken in and of itself, is not fascist. You can think about these individual elements in isolation. When it comes to these fascist tactics, people often ask, "Why do you need to worry about it. There's lots of tactics people use to win power. Why worry about these in particular?" Jason Stanley's response is to say that fascist politics wears down democracy. Even if it doesn't result in a fascist regime, it creates the conditions for itself. Fascist politics, it's a politics of fear. So even if we don't get a fascist regime in the end, we destroy the basis of democracy. ---------------------------------------------------------------- About Jason Stanley: Jason Stanley is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University.

He moved to New York City to attend Columbia University, and has been there ever since. He started his career in journalism, later deciding to become an environmental lawyer, and then shifted to writing books and entered the world of academia. Before joining the Columbia Law School faculty in 2009, Michael practiced law in New York for three decades, most recently as the partner in charge of the New York office of Arnold & Porter.

His 12-volume Environmental Law Practice Guide and four-volume Brownfields Law and Practice each received the Association of American Publishers' Best Law Book of the Year award.He highlights some of his most impressionable career cases, and shares that he is currently leading a legal effort to sue the Governor for New York, Kathy Hochul, for indefinitely pausing the rollout of congestion pricing in New York City. He also shares with Ted his work with the government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on the legal issues caused by rising sea levels that threaten the island nation.

In addition to being Henry's former dissertation advisee, Meryl Alper is am an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies (College of Arts, Media, and Design) and Affiliate Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders (Bouvé College of Health Sciences) at Northeastern University. At Northeastern, she studies  the social, cultural, and health implications of communication technologies, with a focus on disability, digital media, and children and families' technology use. Her books include Digital Youth with Disabilities (MIT Press, 2014) and Giving Voice: Mobile Communication, Disability, and Inequality (MIT Press, 2017), which was awarded a 2018 PROSE Award Honorable Mention from the Association of American Publishers and the 2018 Outstanding Publication in the Sociology of Disability Award from the American Sociological Association. Her latest book, Kids Across the Spectrums: Growing Up Autistic in the Digital Age (MIT Press, 2023), explores the media and technology practices of young people on the autism spectrum, as well as what it means to be “social” in a socially mediated world.She also drew on her professional experience in educational children's media as a researcher, strategist, and consultant with Sesame Workshop, PBS KIDS, Nickelodeon, and Disney. In this conversation, we explore basic concepts such as “spectrum” and “neurodiversity” and what they mean for parents living with autistic children. We learn more about the methodologies she uses to learn more about families living with autism and how she incorporates the perspective of the children themselves in her research. We consider the role of schools and parents in helping to create a world where such students thrive. Above all, we dig deeper into their relationship with media, ranging from the ways media creates sensory experiences to the importance of games, from adaptive technology to fandom. We also consider how autistic people get represented across a range of media properties. And we close with the issue of what she would change about the world if she had magic powers.Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Meryl AlperMeryl Alper  interviewed on Imagine Otherwise podcast Kids Across the Spectrums: Growing Up Autistic in the Digital AgeGiving Voice: Mobile Communication, Disability, and InequalityDigital Youth with Disabilities T is for TransmediaDebates about spectrum NeurodiversityFandom and NeurodiversityIndividuals with Disabilities Education ActOther ResearchersBruno BettelheimSue Fletcher-Watson Steve Silverman – Neurotribes Kathryn Ringland Marshall McLuhan Media MentionedAutcraftRoblox Big Bang TheoryCommunityAtypicalThe Good DoctorRain ManSia – MusicHeartbreak High – Chloe Hadden“Loop”The Good FightExtraordinary Attorney WooWonderWarrior CatsPBS KidsHero Elementary ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Share your thoughts via Twitter with Henry, Colin and the How Do You Like It So Far? account!

Read the Internet Archive Injunction Order here. Sara: Welcome to another episode of copyright chat. It's been a minute I've been on Sabbatical. I've been traveling to Geneva, working at the World intellectual property organization on some research. So, welcome back, we have a very exciting episode talking about the Internet Archive litigation with Jonathan Band from policy bandwidth. He is a renowned lawyer in intellectual property and policy out of Washington, DC. His views are his own. Nothing in this podcast, should be taken as legal advice, of course. But welcome, Jonathan. Jonathan: Thanks for having me. Sara: I would think, since this litigation has been pending for quite some time that most of our listeners are familiar with it. But we can go through a little bit of background. So the Internet Archive was sued by authors and publishers, because, largely as I understand it, because of the emergency lending during Covid. Is that your understanding, too? I mean, that's what prompted the suit Jonathan: The suit initially was filed right after the Internet Archive announced the National Emergency Library early in the pandemic. But very quickly, as you know, with the pleadings and sort of look looking at where the decision ended up. The decision hardly focused on the National Emergency Library at all that just got a paragraph in the decision. It was really focusing on the controlled digital lending under the Internet archives open library. So it could be that that the National Emergency Library is what really got the publishers' attention and that's what prompted the filing of the lawsuit. But the case ended up being about the open library more generally. And what's interesting about that is that that was not new. I mean, the Internet Archive has been doing, lending through the open library for a while. So you know I'm sure at some point in the future we'll sort of look back and try to figure out. You know why. what prompted it, and why and why did they not sue about the open library earlier? But that's, you know, not completely relevant to today's discussion. Sara: Yeah, I also think that's interesting, because my own take on it, maybe not accurate, but my own take on it was that the authors got mad because they were. They kind of. They kind of went a little excessive, I guess, in the emergency library, saying, Well, we're gonna lend more than maybe one to one. Well, and they claimed usually to be lending older books. Maybe 5 years past publication date, but they threw a few newer books in there by mistake. I understand it was kind of not intentional on behalf of Internet Archive, and that was what kind of perked the ears up of the authors and the publishers. But yes, I mean, the case is broader than just the emergency. Library, which I think is important, because some libraries such as my own, were engaging in controlled digital lending through the Hathi Trust during covid, because we couldn't let people in the doors. We had a pretty justifiable, I think, reason, and the fact that they brought in this lawsuit up probably made it harder on the side of the Internet Archive to justify what they were doing. I don't know. Maybe that's my own, my own conclusion there. But the outcome, as we know which recently happened, was an injunction that told the Internet Archive, as far as I understand it, to stop doing CDL. Essentially, for now. Jonathan: right well, it's a little more. Let's fine tune that a bit. So first of all, what happened is, you know, the lawsuit was initially filed back in 2020 when the National Emergency Library was opened. And then again, as I said, it sort of morphed into this focus on controlled digital lending by the open library. More generally. The judge issued a decision in in March of this year. So March 2023, basically saying that the open libraries controlled digital lending with respect to 127 books at issue in the case. So that was the 127 books identified by the publishers hashed, and the other publishers involved in the litigation. You know that that it was not fair use for Internet Archive to distribute those titles through its open lending. It's open library project in a controlled digital lending manner. Then the court said, Okay, now, parties, you figure out what happens next in this litigation, how we should proceed, what the order would excuse me, what remedies should look like and conceivably there could have been an additional a trial over damages there could have been a trial over saying, you know, or what about other books beyond these 127. But instead, what happened is, the parties started talking to each other, and they negotiated. And they basically they were negotiating, negotiating the judge. You know, the judge initially wanted them to, you know, come back with a proposal within a couple of weeks, and they kept on asking for an extension, and the judge gave them extension after extension after extension, and finally, a. At the end of July, the judge said, no more. You guys decide. You know you have to do something within 2 weeks, or else you know, I'm gonna do it. And so then within 2 weeks the parties came up with a proposed injunction. So they basically came up with a draft injunction, a proposed injunction that the court then approved. Now the injunction, basically said that Internet Archive and its partners, which include some libraries that were working with the Internet Archive would no longer reproduce or distribute  covered books, and we'll get back to that in a minute. Covered books through the open library. And then the question became. What is the meaning of the term covered books. and that's where the parties had a disagreement, and presumably that's what's been. Why, there was all this delay, you know. It could be that they agreed pretty much early on on most of the contours of the injunction, but that they couldn't agree on covered books and covered books. The Internet Archive said covered books should just be books by these publishers issued by these publishers that are available in ebook form. Yeah, you know, sort of commercially through overdrive or through Amazon, kindle, but they have to be again available in ebook form. The publishers, on the other hand, were saying, No, no, no! Covered books should be any book that we publish or have published. You know I don't think there was. I don't think they were saying it necessarily needs to be in print. I figured I don't 100% remember. But it basically, the issue is, is it ebooks which are sort of currently available or books, general and so they submitted that question to the judge and the judge very quickly. Within a day, or actually over a weekend, the judge said, Okay, covered books means ebooks. Because you know what the Internet Archive argued, is, that this whole case has been about ebooks, and the fact that you know, the publisher said. It's not fair use because we are selling these ebooks. We're making these available now in ebook form, and the open library competes directly with the ebook market. So the case is about ebooks. And so, and the judge agreed that this case was all about ebooks and the harm to the ebook market. And you know, because that's what the case was about. The injunction can't be any broader than that. Can't talk about books generally. And so the injunction covers ebooks. But interestingly, it's not just this 100 727 titles. It's sort of any book that these publishers publish in ebook format. And they're supposed to provide Internet Archive a list of their titles. And they will. And then the Internet Archive is supposed to pull those out of the open library. It doesn't seem that it has to be titles that are now available in ebook. It could be if the publishers make other titles available in ebook sort of like their backlist. That's currently not ebook that they can make them available as ebooks. And at that point, Internet Archive needs to pull those out. Even though this injunction just covers these publishers, there is sort of like the side letter where the Internet Archive. I don't know if that side letter has been made available. But, the way it's been described is that in in in press releases is that other members of the Association of American Publishers who sort of like were behind this litigation if they want to sort of opt into this deal. They can do that, too. And I'm not 100% sure but what the you know to what extent the Internet Archive is committed, but it's sort of like if they don't do it, then they'll get sued, and you know they would have to do it, at least again, with respect to the ebooks. So that's that's the the basic framework of the injunction. Sara: Yeah. So for those folks listening who are not lawyers. Injunction really means stop. You are being ordered to stop doing this. If you don't. If you violate that I'm assuming you're gonna get damages imposed against you. Jonathan: Well, yeah, yeah, you'd be right. You'd be held in contempt. And in this case, yeah, damage. Or you know, you'd be fines would be imposed. You know. I suppose if it's sometimes with criminal contempt, you could go to jail, but I don't think that would happen here. There's no reason to believe that Internet Archive won't just comply. And you know, pull those titles. Yeah. Sara: And also, as you pointed out, the one important factor is, it's a consent injunction. So you know, the parties did agree to this injunction. Then the judge signed off on it. So yes, I don't think there's any. There would be no reason they would be doing it intentionally. There might be an accidental thing that happens. So you answered a lot of the questions like, I think this gives the publishers an incentive to start making more ebooks, would you think. Jonathan: Yes. In in theory it you know, some of their back list that is currently not available in ebook format. They might make available. But there's also the question as to why they haven't done that till this point. It could be that they just don't see any market at all for those titles. It could also be and this is kinda like the the dirty secret here is that they don't know if they have the rights to make those titles available. You know older titles, you know the publisher agreement. You know. The agreement between the publisher and the author may have simply been that the author, the publisher, has the right to publish it in physical form, you know, because that's the technology that was known at the time, you know, in the 1970 s. Or 1960S. You know, these are big publishers, and they have you know. Lots of books, but it could, very well be for those older titles. Either the author actually has the electronic rights not the publisher, or it could be that it's unclear. No one knows because the agreement is silent on that, or it's unambiguous on that. And, more importantly, it could be. No one has a copy of the publishers Agreement. I mean, these are the kinds of issues that came up in the context of the Google Books case. You know, about 10-15 years ago. And you know it was discovered there was a huge area of ambiguity. I mean, there's all. There were many cases where simply was unclear who has the right to digitize those books. and again, with older books. To some extent, no one really cares. There's no market for it. And so that's why you know, you know the pub. But but it's certainly, you know. Let's say post 1990 or post 2000. It's all clear. Publishers made sure they had the agreement or made sure, the publishers agreement said who had the rights. But it could be that the publishers have already made available in ebooks all the books that they really care about, and that they really intend. or the all the books that they have the rights to, and that the other stuff they really don't have the rights to. Or, you know again, from a lot of those titles that are in the back list, they really might not have the rights. And it's unclear who does. Sara: Oh, that's a really good point, and, as we both know, tracking down who owns the rights is never fun, especially if someone who wrote the book, the author, is deceased. Then you're really just looking down the family tree. And then are they gonna get into some sort of bidding war with, you know. some kid who wants a big payout because their dad wrote some big book, and really no one wants to read it. You know. I mean, there is a reason some of these books are not available in ebooks, and a lot of the books that are currently lent through controlled digital lending. At least in my experience with orphan works again. We just really don't even know who owns it. Maybe the publisher even went out of business. I mean, this is not for these books cause they obviously know that they publish them. But they, you know, controlled digital lending the aim is not, to, you know take a new release and start making copies of it right the aim generally is to get some books that are not available online to readers and on a one to one basis. What is the take away here? I mean this case isn't over right. I think it's going to be appealed right? Jonathan: It's set forth in the order that the Internet Archive does not wave its right to appeal. And so one can safely assume that within the next, in the very near future they will appeal the case to the second circuit. And so you know the brief a lot of briefing likely will happen this fall. But the second circuit is not the known for making decisions quickly. And so, once the case is submitted. Once you know the briefings done, and they have the oral argument, you know. Again, it could take a while to schedule that that could be, you know, into next year, and then, you know. There could easily be a year, 2 years. It could take a while for them to get around to issuing a decision, particularly when there's a consent injunction, right? Cause. It's you know, the parties have agreed to this injunction, so that to some extent, you know, sort of signals to the court. Well, the parties can live with this injunction can live with this kind of status quo, and you know there's no urgency to make a decision so we wouldn't. You know it could be 2025, late 2025, or into 2026, before we have a decision out of the second circuit in this case, on the other, I mean, it could be that they see this is an easy case and decided very quickly.. Unlike the Supreme court, which you know, decides all of its cases each term, you know they move along the courts of appeal don't have that same urgency, and so again, that it could happen very quickly, or they could take their time about it. Sara: They also don't have any say in whether they take the case. They have to take the case. I mean, I think it's an interesting question. If the second circuit does take the case, I mean, once they make their decision sorry they don't have a choice once they make their decision, if it it's the decision, is against the Internet Archive, and they decide to, and it gets appealed, or against the other. Either party could appeal to the Supreme Court. Would the Supreme Court care about this case? I mean, they just decided a big copyright case. So maybe it was a second case. That would be a very interesting question. Jonathan: I mean, you're exactly right. After the second surface decision the losing side could petition for cert to the to the Supreme Court. And the Supreme Court. Yeah, I mean, it's up to the you know. They have the choice whether they accept the case or not. I think it would be kind of an interesting case at that point for them, maybe. It would probably be more interesting if the Internet Archive wins in the second circuit. Right? Then that would be yeah. I would think that that would be more attractive. But if they lose at the second circuit. you know. Then then that's a less interesting case, because it's sort of say, well, you know. Okay, well, whatever they did, they did went too far. And so we don't need to look at what are the limits. But if you know, I think I think the likelihood of the Court Supreme, we're branding. Cert is greater ifthe Internet Archive prevails on appeal. One of the thing is, you know it's pretty clear the publishers are not happy with the fact that the judge limited the injunction just or interpreted, covered books to apply just to ebooks, and it, could they? They could very well cross appeal. I mean, they could appeal that even though that's kinda hard cause, you know the standard, for that would be an abuse of discretion, you know. So I think that that's unlikely. You know that that, you know, cause why, you know it would be. It would sort of unnecessarily antagonize the judge, and I think, the judge. The reasoning of the judge is pretty solid that, you know. All the evidence was about the ebook market, and so you know and if he and and if he had a gone and applied, had covered books, applied all books that would have been you know better. You know that that would have been more likely an abuse of discretion that the Court of appeals would have reversed on a you know, the second separate would have reversed so so, and then even it's you know a lot of things. It can go a lot of different ways going forward right? Sara: And so to be clear, this case did not tell the Internet Archive. You have to stop using controlled digital lending as a method to reach readers. It told them you have to stop lending these particular titles in ebook or titles that might become available in ebook if they make them available in ebook by these publishers. Right? Jonathan: And again, yes, and so that that does leave, you know, it certainly is all other publishers. Sort of out of litigation, even though there is a side letter that might bring publishers that are members of the AAP. And again it does leave all the non ebooks out. So that's right. I mean it. It is somewhat limited in that sense. And it is different. And it doesn't apply to you know, a lot of the kinds of controlled digital lending that various libraries are doing. Certainly the kind of stuff that Hathi Trust is doing. You know, which, again, is much more circumscribed. and you know it also left out. You know things, you know, relating to sort of anything that that is similar to recent case law. So, for example, the, you know, the Authors Guild versus Hathi Trust, and the author's Guild versus Google books and Warhol. I mean, it is actually the consent injunction order specifically cited. Those is the kind of thing that is not, you know. Like, when the yeah, this injunction about what say, oh, you can't make these reproductions, but you could conceivably make reproductions that are consistent with those decisions. And so that that does give. Certainly, you know folks a lot of leeway, even if they're not in part of this case and sort of say, well, what am I safe doing until you know, for the next couple of years until we have a resolution of this case. It gives a lot of guidance. Sara: Yeah, exactly. So. I think some folks, I'm sure people who are in engaged in CDL in their libraries are thinking what's my take away right? I'm not in the jurisdiction of this court right? I mean, you know, I'm not a party to this lawsuit. But it's still helpful. It's still provides some guidance. Right? So if you are trying to engage in. CDL, and you're trying to lend a book that is available in ebook format. That'd be more risky, let's say, than, if you had a book that was older, not available in ebook, you know, maybe even an orphan work that kind of a thing. And so I think it's still good guidance and even better guidance, probably, if the second circuit affirmed right? Because then it's like, Okay, well, the circuit courts tend to follow each other. Look at each other, and like I'm in the seventh circuit, for instance you know, II know the second circuit doesn't bind what we do at University of Illinois. But if the second circuit is leaning certain way, I'm gonna think. Hmm. That's probably pretty good guidance. Right? Jonathan: Yeah, absolutely. But one can't overstate the case. So you could certainly say that. Let's say the second circuit affirms the District Court. And you know also with the you know, that makes it clear that this is just about ebooks. Then that could say, then then an institution could say, Okay, we're pretty, you know. We feel somewhat degree of confidence that if we or we know that if we engage in CDL for books that are currently available as ebooks. That's probably you know, a red zone right? That that that raises flags that might be dangerous. You don't necessarily know that if it's not an ebook that you're in the clear, all you know is that if it's not an ebook, this case doesn't say anything about it. So it could be. You know, the language of the second circuit, what it's not deciding could be important. Then it would basically leave existing fair use jurisprudence and people's judgment, and certainly say, Well, okay, if it's an older title, an orphan work. That's pretty. Okay, you know. But what about? If it's not that old, the title? Let's say it's you know, book in the eighties. Right? And you know, the author is still alive. Is that okay? Unclear, you know. But I'm not sure I think right now, even before the decision, I think a lot of University council. say now that it's not. That's already a little too risky, and would say when I was gotta be, you know, before a certain date, or you know something else, you know something. The eighties might be a little too recent, especially if you know if it's from a real university press or a real publishing house that might not be making the whole title available, and again. But you know it could be that the real question coming forward is, you know, you can imagine all kinds of litigation. As people try to refine what's okay and what isn't. Okay. I suspect there probably won't be a lot because it's just not worth it to the publishers. I mean, I think, that they felt that the Internet Archive, especially once, you know, when it when it had the National Emergency library. That was just kinda like, just too far. It just couldn't tolerate that. And then once they started litigating, they realize, well, wait a minute. We can't say that CDL is okay. But the National Emergency Library isn't right. I mean they couldn't. I don't think they felt they could make that kind of concession. Maybe they felt sort of backed into a corner, that, you know, because  the Internet Archive gun. So far they felt they needed to say, Okay, no, you know no to CDL, at least in these circumstances. But I think you know part of it is clear, and all the pleadings they really don't like the Internet Archive generally. I mean, they feel that the Internet and it could be the Internet Archive, maybe sort of poke the bear too many times from their point of view. And if you change the facts enough, and if it's University of Illinois Library, and it's you know, maybe maybe it is books from the seventies and eighties, but you know the university can put together a rationale that not only is it trying to make these titles more available. It has all sorts of statistics that no one has checked this book out in 15 years or 20 years, which is often the case. and they could also talk about the this host. The whole CDL thing is also part of the rationale is managing its collection, managing its space. It doesn't have enough room to hold all of these books. It could come up with various rationales that then that might tip the balance, and that would be the reasoning would be different.It could make arguments that the Internet Archive couldn't make. But I have a feeling no one's gonna litigate that. So I just don't think so. I think libraries will be careful and you know, sort of like. Let's say, when they are in books, you know, titles that are in the 80 s. Or whatever they'll be very selective about what they do and do, and it would be, let's say, a title that has not been circulated in 20 years or 40 years. Right? And I'm sure you have titles like that. On the other hand, litigation is really expensive, and it seems that there was a side agreement here where the Internet Archive is gonna pay the publishers' legal fees, but nothing else, no damages. It's sort of like reading between the lines that seem seems to be what the situation is, but litigation is really expensive. From their point of view, they're not gonna bother. So there's gonna be. I think there'll still be a lot of ambiguity. There'll be a big grey zone. And because even the publishers and the authors, guild and other groups, you know. It's certainly in private conversations and say, Oh, we have no problem with orphan works.you know. But of course, their definition of an orphan work might be different from our definition of an orphan work. Right? So so there's going to be, you know, certain areas where it's going to be very safe, certain areas where it's gonna be pretty risky. And then there's going to be this big gray area in the middle. And I think that that's, gonna you know, continue to pose a challenge for libraries. And again, all this is assuming that the second circuit affirms, if they reverse it's obviously very different. Sara: Right. And in terms of the super risky. You know. To me that is always the textbook situation. People say, Oh, I want to put this textbook through. Cdl, what? No, please don't do that, because textbooks are such a such a small market. Right? I mean, you have a calculus, 101 textbook that's really just for those students. I'm not gonna read that textbook. That's not for just anybody that's for a very small market. On the other hand, don't even get me started about the price of textbooks. Because. Jonathan: yeah, I mean, you know, making textbooks available would be problem unless again, you know it. It. It's let's say it's an older textbook that no one is using in courses anymore. So let's say, you know, the second edition of you know Samuelson Economics. And now there's probably up to the thirtieth edition, right? I mean so an older edition, where the only person who would be looking at it would be a scholar, right? I mean. So I think in every case you could sort of make general generalizations. But even then, I think there could be is situ circumstances. Under which sort of saying, Yeah, making the third edition of the Samuelson Economics textbook is on a CDL basis is fair use. That's a good point. Yeah, I could see a historical analysis of a textbook that's really old would be a very different thing than something like Samuelson, which has been the bedrock of economics courses. Again, since you know, since long before I took economics. So it's been around. That textbook has probably been around for 50 years or more, you know, and sort of seeing how it's evolved. That seems like a good research, you know. topic for a doctoral dissertation, if it hasn't already been done. Sara: Yeah. So it's just another way to say that, you know fair use is flexible, and you really can't just put a line in the sand I just tried to put a line in the sand. Didn't work right? Jonathan: That's right. That's why it's, you know, that is the beauty and the frustration of fair use. Sara: The beauty. I think it's beautiful. I think it's a good thing right? It's it gets frustrating for people in their day to day work. They want these hard line rules, but, on the other hand, it allows us to do things and be flexible in ways that counterparts across the world who don't have fair use, cannot do it. And so, you know, we also then have to keep up on all the fair use decisions. So we can understand what the courts are saying about it, which is a whole other thing. Well, I hope, I hope, in terms of keeping up on the decisions. I hope that this discussion. I know it's been really enlightening for me, Jonathan, you have such a bird eye view of what's been going on. Much more nuanced than my understanding. So thank you so much, and I hope it's been helpful to listeners. I'm sure it has. I mean, it's just been so interesting to listen to your thoughts about this case, and it's not over yet. But at least this is something that will be probably in place for a while right while the appeal is pending. So it's good to understand where we are now. And where we're headed. Yeah. Well, thanks so much for joining me today, Jonathan. Jonathan: It was really nice talking to you.

The ruling following a first-of-its- kind trial in the U.S. adds to a small number of legal decisions around the world that have established a government duty to protect citizens from climate change.   District Court Judge Kathy Seeley found the policy the state uses in evaluating requests for fossil fuel permits — which does not allow agencies to evaluate the effects of greenhouse gas emissions — is unconstitutional." I reached out to the founder and faculty director of the groundbreaking Sabin Center for Climate Change Law and one of the foremost environmental lawyers in the nation, Michael Gerrard is an advocate, litigator, teacher, and scholar who has pioneered cutting-edge legal tools and strategies for addressing climate change.

This thought-provoking book argues that, ironically, science's credibility is being undermined by tools created by scientists themselves. Scientific disinformation and damaging conspiracy theories are rife because of the internet that science created, the scientific demand for empirical evidence and statistical significance leads to data torturing and confirmation bias, and data mining is fuelled by the technological advances in Big Data and the development of ever-increasingly powerful computers.Using a wide range of entertaining examples, this fascinating book examines the impacts of society's growing distrust of science, and ultimately provides constructive suggestions for restoring the credibility of the scientific community.Gary Smith, Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics, Pomona College Gary Smith is the Fletcher Jones Professor of Economics at Pomona College. He received his Ph.D. in Economics from Yale University and was an Assistant Professor there for seven years.

On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show we meet director Chandler Levack, whose debut feature film, “I Like Movies,” will be in theatres on March 10. The film festival hit is based on her experiences working at a Blockbuster Video in Burlington, Ontario in the early 2000s. It's the story of how movie obsessive Lawrence Kweller (Isaiah Lehtinen) allows his love of film, dream of attending NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and anxiety, alienate the most important people in his life. Part work-place comedy—think “High Fidelity” only set in a video store—part character study, “I Like Movies” is sweet-natured, funny film that digs deep to make us feel empathy for Lawrence, a socially awkward character who hides his real feelings behind a facade of bluster and pretension. Strong performances and a genuinely heartfelt script make this take on adolescent angst a winning debut for Levack. Then, C. J. Tudor, bestselling author of “The Burning Girls,” “The Other People,” “The Hiding Place” and “The Chalk Man,” which won the International Thriller Writers Award for Best First Novel, stops by. Over the years she has worked as a copywriter, television presenter, who asked Tim Robbins an embarrassing questions, a voice-over artist, and dog walker. Today we'll talk about some of those jobs and her new novel, “The Drift,” a heart-pounding new novel about three ordinary people who risk everything for a chance at redemption. And finally, we spend time with “In the Key of Dale” author Benjamin Lefebvre. He is a writer based in Kitchener, Ont. His edited books include the anthology “The L.M. Montgomery Reader,” which won the 2016 PROSE Award for Literature from the Association of American Publishers, and an edition of L.M. Montgomery's rediscovered final book, “The Blythes Are Quoted.”

You have met Ben Stecher in episode #12 already – today we follow up on his very own account of deep brain stimulation after Ben has now lived with DBS to his subthalamic nucleus for 3 month. Ben is joined by Alberto Espay, who is a world-renowned expert on Parkinson's Disease from UC health in Cincinnati, Ohio. Together, Alberto and Ben wrote “Brain Fables”, a book with the aim to debunk some of the common (mis)conceptions in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. The book recently won the prose award by the Association of American Publishers in the category Neuroscience and is truly unique in its way to combine both the views of patient and health professional on the matter. We also touch upon a recent debate at the 2021 International Movement Disorders Congress (MDS) between Alberto Espay and Patrick Brundin, about the question whether clearing α-synuclein enough to treat Parkinson's disease. Alberto and Ben take us on a fascinating journey to think outside of the box, to question and challenge currently accepted views about the etiology of Parkinson's Disease and about their vision of how to conquer neurodegenerative diseases.

The book is truly unique in its way to combine both the views of patient and health professional on the history and misconceptions of Parkinson's Disease and what should change in our field to make progress. Benjamin was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at 29. Since then, he left a successful managing partner position in Shanghai to study the disease full time. He has been traveling the world to witness the latest and greatest progress being made in over 100 research laboratories around the globe. He has interviewed over 80 international experts and shares his insights on the website tmrwedition.com. On June 2nd, Benjamin underwent deep brain stimulation surgery to the subthalamic nucleus. We are incredibly grateful that a mere nine days after that, he shares this experience lived from the most direct and intimate, the most important perspective: the one of the patient.

Jason McDonald is an author, teacher, and consultant focused on personal branding, SEO, social media marketing, and Google ads. He has an undergraduate degree from Harvard, a master's and a Ph.D. from Berkeley, and he teaches at Stanford. He also has many bestselling books on digital marketing topics available on Amazon.    In today's episode, we're going to discuss why we should create digital products and publish a book on Amazon.    Jason's Journey   Jason studied at Berkeley for six years while working towards his Ph.D. For two of those years, he lived in Europe and wrote his dissertation on economic policy in Eastern Europe. Once he graduated, he began working with a computer reseller start-up to grow international sales, becoming familiar with the internet for the first time.    His first experience with the internet inspired him to start an email newsletter for design engineers which got him into SEO. About 10 years later, he discovered he was good at teaching. He had a friend who encouraged him to teach a class, and that's when Jason began teaching SEO in San Francisco. He enjoyed it so much he eventually started teaching for Stanford and also began publishing.    Building a Skill Set    The ability to publish books on Amazon has been a huge blessing in Jason's career.    While Jason was teaching a class at Stanford, he thought it would be a good idea to try writing a book on SEO. He already had the knowledge and just needed to learn the skills to get it published. He put in the time and research and learned how to publish a book on Amazon and get it set up on Kindle and CreateSpace. He published his book on Amazon which started to generate around $30,000 a year in royalty revenue and established his name in his industry.    “There are people who think you're born with a certain skill, like ‘I'm born and I'm able to do the math.' I really think that's a terrible attitude. A better attitude is, ‘I want to have this skill, and I'm going to learn how to do this skill. I'm going to invest in the skill and get good at this skill.' I didn't know that much about how to publish a book on Amazon at the time, but I really dug into it. . . . I created that skill set by just saying, ‘I'm going to do this,'” Jason said.    Jason didn't have the skill set to publish a book, so he developed it. If we want to be an expert at something, we have to put in the work. It's not a matter of being born with or without a certain skill, it's a matter of drive and determination.     “You have to decide you want the skill set,” Jason said. “That's how you want to think about your skills in life. . . . It really hurts people when they think, ‘Gosh, I could never do that.' That's self-defeating.”    Are we willing to pay the price? Are we willing to put in the time and resources it takes to develop a new skill? We have the ability to pick what we want to be an expert in, we just have to pay the price. It's often said that if we put in 10,000 hours into something, we can become one of the world's leading experts in it.   One of the best skill sets we can learn is creating a digital product. While we may not have the skills naturally to create a digital product, we can put in the time and effort to learn how and develop those skills.    There is an old saying that goes, “It doesn't matter how much milk you spill as long as you don't lose your cow.” As entrepreneurs, there will often be “spillage” and wasteful decisions as we start trying to learn something new. However, our mistakes don't matter as much if we keep trying. What we see as failure may not have a huge impact on the bigger picture or an impact on our revenue.    Publishing a Book on Amazon   When I asked Jason what his best monetization secret is, he said it is to create a digital product. For him, that digital product was his books.    “If you have a special kind of knowledge or if you're an expert in ‘x' . . . you should write a book,” Jason said. “ If you can create a digital product, which is what books are these days, you can create a passive income stream around that product.”   Books not only provide a passive income stream, but they also build our credibility. Writing a book shows our customers our knowledge. As we really become an expert in our specific field, we can write a book to establish our name. However, we need to make sure we write a book with a purpose. We shouldn't publish a digital book just to show off our knowledge; we need to write a book that will provide value to our audience.   For example, college students will look for books on financial aid, budgeting, easy home-cooked meals, relationship advice, and more. We need to write a book that answers a question for someone or solves a problem for them. A new parent may purchase a dozen books on baby names and how to raise a kid. If we can answer a question or solve a problem, a book can really be a great source of revenue. Jason was able to do this with the topic of SEO. He wrote a book on what he was an expert on, answered questions and solved problems for his audience, and then made around $30,000 a year off the royalty revenues of his book.    It is very common for people to turn to a book when they are trying to solve a problem. According to the Pew Research Center, the average American reads about 12 books a year. If we can make our book the #1 in its category, we have a good chance of success.    “One of the things I've learned in business is you want to fish where the fish are,” Jason said. “Certain markets, like the book market, have a defined player (Amazon) where all the action is. And Amazon has made it very easy for people to publish and find books.”   Amazon has a system that allows anyone to self-publish a book relatively easily. All we have to do is write it. Once we do, publishing takes less than five minutes and our book appears on Kindle stores worldwide within 48 hours (Source: Amazon). Amazon also allows us to earn up to 70% in royalty sales to customers and stay in control of our prices. Instead of going through a publisher, we can do it on our own from our homes.    Amazon is a great platform to take advantage of for book publishing. “Amazon dominates the book market. It's where people go for books,” Jason said. “Think about areas where there is a defined marketplace that you can then insert yourself.”   The Association of American Publishers filed a statement in 2019 with the Federal Trade Commission, saying, “A year ago, The New York Times reported that Amazon controlled 50 percent of all book distribution, but for some industry suppliers, the actual figure may be much higher, with Amazon accounting for more than 70 or 80 percent of sales.” (Source: Publishing Perspectives).    We can leverage Amazon to potentially reach millions of people and get our book out there. There are currently 150 million Amazon Prime subscribers, a 50 percent increase from 100 million in April 2018 (Source: VentureBeat) and even more people use Amazon without Prime.    Just because millions of people are on Amazon, that doesn't mean we have millions of people looking at our book. In 2020, there were 48.5 million books on Amazon (Source: JustPublishingAdvice). Becoming an expert in our field and answering a problem our customers are trying to solve gives us a competitive edge in this vast book market on Amazon.    Another digital product that builds our credibility and can create recurring revenue is online courses. Online courses are a great way to provide value to our customers. We can share our knowledge and teach them how to do something they need help with. However, the disadvantage with online courses is that there isn't one platform that dominates that platform as Amazon does with books. Jason believes that publishing a digital book on Amazon is one of the best digital products we can use to our advantage.    Key Takeaways   Thank you so much Jason for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode:   We have to decide what skill set we want and then put in the time and effort to become an expert in it. One of the best skill sets we can learn as entrepreneurs are how to create digital products. Books provide a passive income stream and build our credibility. Amazon is a great platform to take advantage of because it dominates the book market and makes publishing relatively easy.  We should become an expert in our field and answer a question or solve a problem for our customers. If we can make our book the #1 in its category, we have a high chance of success.    Connect with Jason   If you enjoyed this interview and want to learn more about Jason or connect with him, you can find him on his LinkedIn or his website, jasonmcdonald.org.

June 4, 2014. Deputy Librarian of Congress Robert Dizard Jr. interviews former U.S. Rep. Patricia Schroeder about her career as the first woman elected to Congress from Colorado, as former president and CEO of the Association of American Publishers and, most recently, as professor at Rollins College in Florida. Speaker Biography: After earning a law degree from Harvard Law School in 1964, Patricia Schroeder moved to Colorado for a position with the National Labor Relations Board. Eight years later she became the first woman elected to Congress from Colorado, and the second-youngest woman ever elected to that body.

Rex Pratt has been involved in various film and video projects over the past decade. His interest in a project is always based upon the ability of the film to move and inspire the viewer. Between Iraq and A Hard Place is a project that became personal as it progressed. It began by documenting the difficulties of troops' transitioning back to normal life after combat. After almost 2 years of meeting with returning troops, Rex has developed a special attachment to the troops. He defines himself as "not easily converted to a new cause". However, the personal stories that he became involved in have stirred his filmmaking talents and inspired a film that will move you and touch your heart as you experience up close what is in the heart and minds of our young troops. He is currently working on his next project that also deals with war and assisting in the completion of the book Between Iraq and A Hard Place with his partner/brother, New York Times best-selling author, James Michael Pratt.
