Jonathan Coulton discusses his cover of Irving Berlin's 1924 waltz "All Alone" for the Public Song Project. Then, we're joined by Michael Weinberg, executive director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU, who breaks down some copyright jargon and the latest news in property law that you should know about, including who owns an A.I. creation.
In today's episode, we're looking at issues that come up in Indigenous communities, and one initiative to respond to the limitations of the law and to reassert cultural authority in one's own heritage, culture and data. Episode notes In this season of the podcast we're working with the Engelberg Center for Innovation Policy at NYU Law. In this episode, Dr. Jane Anderson talks about how she found “the law doesn't do a very good job in protecting collective knowledge.” One of the big challenges in the area that I work in is the language of ownership to start with, and the framework of property itself conditions what's possible to think about and what's possible to talk about. Jane co-founded Local Contexts, “a global initiative that supports Indigenous communities with tools that can reassert cultural authority in heritage collections and data. By focusing on Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property and Indigenous Data Sovereignty, Local Contexts helps Indigenous communities repatriate knowledge and gain control over how data is collected, managed, displayed, accessed, and used in the future.” We also speak with Courtney Papuni of Te Whakatohea iwi in Opotiki. Courtney speaks on her community's work with Local Contexts labels and the limitations of western notions of copyright on cultural heritage and knowledge. Full transcript, notes, links and contact can be found on the episode website.

Kat Walsh from Creative Commons joins us to talk about the history of Creative Commons as a 'hack on copyright.' Marc Weidenbaum speaks on the history of the Disquiet Junto, a long-running online distributed community creating new music in response to a weekly online composition challenge. Episode notes, credits and transcript In this season of the podcast we're working in collaboration with the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy at NYU Law. In addition to our usual crop of artists and programmers we're adding in legal scholars to help us unpack some of the thorny issues for those working in art and code as they unleash their work into the world. In this episode we dive into the world of Creative Commons, which is now over 20 years old. It is both an organization as well as a collection of copyright licenses used by artists, musicians, writers, directors and creators worldwide to communicate to the world how they want their work shared and potentially to be used as a source to build upon. We also speak to Marc Weidenbaum, founder and steward of the Disquiet Junto, an online “community of practice.” Each week Marc sends out an email newsletter with a creative prompt, consisting of a title, and instructions. These instructions may read like a Fluxus event score, a recipe in sound, a concept or technical description. Those who choose to participate create a single piece of music, then post it online, to be shared, listened to and potentially discussed by the online community. Marc has been leading Disquiet Junto since 2012, and from the beginning has encouraged participants to share their work with Creative Commons licenses. In fact the creative re-use of Creative Commons licensed sound and music has often been an integral part of Disquiet Junto creative prompts. Guests Kat Walsh is the General Counsel at Creative Commons. She has a nearly 20-year history in the free and open culture movements, including many years on the boards of the Wikimedia Foundation and the Free Software Foundation, and has previously worked in library policy, technology startups, and online community management. As General Counsel, she oversees the legal support for all aspects of CC's activities, provides strategic input, leads the stewardship of CC's legal tools, and advises the organization on new programmatic initiatives. image description: a black and white image of Marc looking to the right. He has dark hair and a close cropped beard, wearing a high collared knit sweater and black frame glasses. Marc Weidenbaum founded the website Disquiet.com in 1996 at the intersection of sound, art, and technology, and since 2012 has moderated the Disquiet Junto, an active online community of weekly music/sonic projects that explore constraints as a springboard for creativity and productivity.

Legal textbooks have always been expensive but these days, the cost of a new commercially-published antitrust law casebook can range from $300 to $500. What if a high-quality casebook were available at little or no cost? With the support of the ABA Antitrust Law Section, NYU Law School Professors Christopher Sprigman and Daniel Francis recently completed the world's first openly-licensed antitrust law casebook. Listen to this episode as they talk with co-hosts Alicia Downey and Sarah Zhang about this important project and whether eliminating the expense of traditional casebooks might lead to an increase in law students taking antitrust and potentially pursuing careers in the field.

Each afternoon, kids walk through my neighborhood, on their way home from school, and almost all of them are walking alone, staring down at their phones. It's a troubling site. This daily parade of the zombie children just can't bode well for the future.That's one reason I felt like Gaia Bernstein's new book was talking directly to me. A law professor at Seton Hall, Gaia makes a strong argument that people are so addicted to tech at this point, we need some big, system level changes to social media platforms and other addictive technologies, instead of just blaming the individual and expecting them to fix these issues.Gaia's book is called Unwired: Gaining Control Over Addictive Technologies. It's fascinating and I had a chance to talk with her about it for today's podcast. At its heart, our conversation is really about how and whether we can maintain control over our thoughts and actions, even when some powerful forces are pushing in the other direction.We discuss the idea that, in certain situations, maybe it's not reasonable to expect that we'll be able to enjoy personal freedom and autonomy. We also talk about how to be a good parent when it sometimes seems like our kids prefer to be raised by their iPads; so-called educational video games that actually don't have anything to do with education; the root causes of tech addictions for people of all ages; and what kinds of changes we should be supporting.Gaia is Seton's Hall's Technology, Privacy and Policy Professor of Law, as well as Co-Director of the Institute for Privacy Protection, and Co-Director of the Gibbons Institute of Law Science and Technology. She's the founding director of the Institute for Privacy Protection. She created and spearheaded the Institute's nationally recognized Outreach Program, which educated parents and students about technology overuse and privacy.Professor Bernstein's scholarship has been published in leading law reviews including the law reviews of Vanderbilt, Boston College, Boston University, and U.C. Davis. Her work has been selected to the Stanford-Yale Junior Faculty Forum and received extensive media coverage. Gaia joined Seton Hall's faculty in 2004. Before that, she was a fellow at the Engelberg Center of Innovation Law & Policy and at the Information Law Institute of the New York University School of Law. She holds a J.S.D. from the New York University School of Law, an LL.M. from Harvard Law School, and a J.D. from Boston University.Gaia's work on this topic is groundbreaking I hope you'll listen to the conversation and then consider pre-ordering her new book. It comes out on March 28.Leaps.org is a not-for-profit initiative that publishes award-winning journalism, popularizes scientific progress on social media, and hosts events about bioethics and the future of humanity.

Speaker: Professor Rochelle Dreyfuss, NYW Law School Biography: Rochelle Cooper Dreyfuss is Pauline Newman Professor of Law at NYU Law School and a Co-Director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy. She is a leading scholar of intellectual property law as well as other science and technology topics. She was a research chemist prior to law school, and later clerked for Chief Justice Warren Burger of the US Supreme Court. Among her works on international intellectual property issues are A Neofederalist Vision of TRIPS: Building a Resilient International Intellectual Property System(2012, with Graeme Dinwoodie), and several co-edited books, including Framing Intellectual Property Law in the 21st century: Integrating Incentives, Trade, Development, Culture, and Human Rights (2018, with Elizabeth Siew Kuan Ng); and the IILJ Project volume Balancing Wealth and Health: The Battle Over Intellectual Property and Access to Medicines in Latin America (2014, with César Rodríguez-Garavito). She was the Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professor in Legal Science at Cambridge University for 2019–20.Abstract: Many countries have responded (or have considered responding) to the COVID pandemic by modifying their intellectual property laws to ensure the availability of vaccines, medicines, diagnostics, and related information. Some have asked the World Trade Organization (WTO) for a waiver to excuse any steps they might take that are inconsistent with obligations under the TRIPS Agreement. Although a waiver would protect WTO members from challenges in the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body, a state that is a party to an international investment agreement (IIA) that includes investor-state dispute resolution has something else to worry about. Investors could claim that its actions amount to an indirect expropriation or a denial fair and equitable treatment in violation of the obligations in the IIA. In this piece, I conduct a thought experiment on how such suits might unfold. The first part describes how states sought or may seek to exercise control over the knowledge and products needed to protect public health during the global pandemic. The second part considers the challenges that investors might lodge and how they might be resolved. I identify the places where safeguards in IIAs that are intended to protect sovereign authority over healthcare may fall short.For more information see: https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminars

Although a waiver would protect WTO members from challenges in the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body, a state that is a party to an international investment agreement (IIA) that includes investor-state dispute resolution has something else to worry about. Investors could claim that its actions amount to an indirect expropriation or a denial fair and equitable treatment in violation of the obligations in the IIA. In this piece, I conduct a thought experiment on how such suits might unfold. The first part describes how states sought or may seek to exercise control over the knowledge and products needed to protect public health during the global pandemic. The second part considers the challenges that investors might lodge and how they might be resolved. I identify the places where safeguards in IIAs that are intended to protect sovereign authority over healthcare may fall short.For more information see: https://www.cipil.law.cam.ac.uk/seminars-and-events/cipil-seminars
I interview Prof. Scott Hemphill, Moses H. Grossman Professor of Law at NYU School of Law and co-director of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy. There aren't many human beings who would be a better expert to speak to regarding the various lawsuits in the real estate industry.We discuss the various class action lawsuits on commissions (Moehrl, Sitzer, Leeder, etc.) and what the issues are. We discuss REX v. Zillow as well as REX v. Oregon, which deals with the anti-rebate provisions in Oregon. We discuss policy as Prof. Hemphill is actively involved in policy discussions around antitrust, technology, and innovation.This was one of the most enjoyable and enlightening conversations I've ever had, and I thank Prof. Hemphill for his time and insights.
New York recently launched a vaccine passport called the "Excelsior Pass." Brian Behlendorf, general manager of Blockchain Healthcare and Identity at the Linux Foundation of Public Health, talks about what it is, and how people in the open source community are advocating for systems like these to be linked, so people don't need multiple apps. Then, Albert Fox Cahn, founder and executive director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project (STOP) at the Urban Justice Center, a New York–based civil rights and privacy group, and a fellow at the Engelberg Center for Innovation Law & Policy at NYU School of Law shares concerns about privacy and the digital divide.
The safest way to return to full-capacity mass gatherings is to make sure attendees have been vaccinated. The right software could help, but there are some privacy and equity concerns. On Today's Show:New York recently launched a vaccine passport called the "Excelsior Pass."

Mark Takano (D-CA-41) who won reelection on Tuesday with 64% of the votePart of the Vision for Black Lives policy platformTakano talks about reaching out to Republicans but does not reference actually having any; this piece of legislation was considered to be something that might have come to more prominence if the Senate had gone blue, which was at least a possibility to occur on Tuesday night (but didn’t).

COPPA, DMCA, Copyright, Fair Use, Terms of Service - the list goes ever on as the landscape of legal questions surrounding YouTube and our modern age of digital sharing is ever-shifting and expanding. Now, even lawyers and law schools have been forced to examine the present state of play, as presenters at a copyright infringement explanation seminar (of all things) have triggered the wrath of YouTube's Content ID algorithm. What happened at NYU Law's Engelberg Center to give rise to the claim? What was NYU's position on fair use? Why did it not matter? And how do robotic content identification, the ability for IP holders to escalate claims to copyright strikes, and the incentives present in the current DMCA all combine to create these untenable positions?

It turns out that the West Coast doesn't have a lock on law and tech innovation. On this episode, we talk with four guests who are involved in the upcoming NYU Law and Tech: Impact on Innovation, coming up on October 15, 2019. Our guests today are Felicity Conrad is a NYU grad and CoFounder and CEO of Paladin. Michael Weinberg is the Executive Director at the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy at NYU. Christian Lang, Head of Strategy at Reynen Court. And, Anna McGrane is also an NYU Law alum, and is the Co-founder and COO of PacerPro. Each discuss their individual experiences with legal tech innovation, and how the NYU campus has become an launching point for many of its grads toward the legal technology and innovation community. From start-ups to meet-ups, our guests believe that NYU is showing that innovation can have a definite East Coast flavor. Information Inspirations The Return of FREE PACER!! Northwestern University's Interdisciplinary team, which includes seven law faculty, including our previous guest, Tom Gaylord, was awarded a National Science Foundation Convergence Accelerator Grant this month. The $1 Million grant will be used to advance Northwestern's AI-Powered data platform which interfaces with the federal PACER system. The Northwestern Open Access to Court Records Initiative (NOACRI) Team includes lawyers, journalists, economists, and policy makers across the different schools at Northwestern, and they are working to create tools needed to make the data locked in PACER available, and then link that data to public information about the litigants, judges, lawyers, and the courts. We wish them luck!! Can Congress Regulate Algorithms used in judicial processes? California Representative, Mark Takano has introduced the “Justice in Forensic Algorithms Act of 2019.” The idea is to create a standards for these algorithms that make them more transparent, especially to the defense teams, not just for the results, but for the entire process. Algorithms used in the courts will also not be able to hide behind trade secrets to prevent those affected by the algorithms from understanding how these results were produced. Can the government actually pull this off? It'll be interesting to see how this progresses. Plus, a bonus inspiration on what law firms should be doing to encourage 1L's and 2L's to learn more about technology while still at the law schools.

Listen NowSince 1992 use of the RBRVS (Resource Based Relative Value Scale) has been the prevailing method by which physician procedure prices are determined. The method or formula for determining prices is managed by the AMA's RUC (or the Relative Value Update Committee). In recent years the RUC has come under increasing criticism largely because their work perversely incents the use or overuse of higher priced medical procedures. The RUC has been a topic of Congressional hearings over the past few years and just this past week the Congress included a provision in the so called "doc fix" bill to have the DHHS Secretary begin to collect information on physician services to better determine relative values in setting physician fees. During this 23 minute conversation Kavita discusses how the RUC determines prices, the AMA's defense of the RUC process, what effect price skewing has on the practice of primary care and how the RBRVS might be reformed. Dr. Kavita Patelis a Fellow in the Economic Studies program and Managing Director for clinical transformation and delivery at the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution. She is also a practicing primary care internist at Johns Hopkins Medicine. She served previously in the Obama Administration as Director of Policy for the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement in the White House. Dr. Patel also served as Deputy Staff Director for the late Senator Edward Kennedy. She too has an extensive research and clinical background having worked as a researcher at the RAND Corporation and as a practicing physician in both California and Oregon. She earned her medical degree from the University of Texas and her masters in public health from the UCLA. This is a public episode.

On the Wednesday, November 20th broadcast at 9:30AM Pacific/12:30 PM Eastern our special guest is Farzad Mostashari, MD visiting fellow of the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution, and former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, Department of Health and Human Services. According to his bio at Brookings: 'Dr. Mostashari's work covers a range of topics related to helping clinicians improve care and patient health through health IT, focusing on small practice transformation by developing innovative payment models that can better support these types of practices. This work will include expanding the reach of the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Learning Network, a Brookings-Dartmouth project that provides participating organizations the tools necessary to successfully implement accountable care.' As the Health and Human Services point person at ONC, Farzad was a higly visible, articulate and effective advocate for the adoption of health information technology. On the broadcast today, we'll get reflections on his ONC tenure, and how that experience informs what he sees ahead as core enabling drivers of the transformation agenda of the American healthcare ecosystem. Join us for key insights from this nationally prominent healthcare leader.
Listen NowOne of the most discussed provisions of the Affordable Care Act promising to "bend the cost curve" are Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). CMS has now selected over 250, moreover physician-led, organizations as ACOs coverning four million Medicare beneficiaries. ACOs offer the promise of improved coordinated care, care quality and reduced Medicare costs. During this 27-minute interview Dr. Patel explains the impetus for and creation of Accountable Care Organizations, how rapidly ACOs are growing in number and what are some of the barriers limiting participation in the “shared savings” program. She explains further how Medicare reimburses ACOs (Type 1 and 2) and the concern among providers regarding the freedom Medicare beneficiaries have in seeking care outside their ACO. What ACO activity is occurring beyond Medicare or among large physician groups and private insurers, how and why ACOs might be successful and how and why ACOs serve as a catalyst for provider integration (and the downside risks involved with accelerated consolidation) are all also discussed. The interview concludes with a brief summary of the Brookings-Dartmouth ACO learning network (www.acolearningnetwork.org).Dr. Kavita Patel is a Fellow in the Economic Studies program and Managing Director for clinical transformation and delivery at the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution.
