A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society, he has received numerous awards including a Webby, the Free Software Foundation's Freedom Award, Scientific American 50 Award, and Fastcase 50 Award. Cited by The New Yorker as “the most important thinker on intellectual property in the Internet era,” Lessig has focused much of his career on law and technology, especially as it affects copyright. His current work addresses “institutional corruption”—relationships which, while legal, weaken public trust in an institution—especially as that affects democracy. His books include: They Don't Represent Us: Reclaiming Our Democracy (November2019), Fidelity & Constraint: How the Supreme Court Has Read the American Constitution (May 2019), America, Compromised (2018), Republic, Lost v2 (2015), Republic, Lost: How Money Corrupts Congress—and a Plan to Stop It (2011), Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy (2008), Code v2 (2006), The Future of Ideas (2001), and Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace (1999). –––– Support the podcast and join the Honest Offense community at https://honestoffense.locals.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC13h27HBHpqpHWtzxJF4jQA

Hybrid economy beyond duality
Hello, kaiju lovers! Despite a slight delay thanks to MIFV mascots Goji-kun and Bro Kong hiding Nathan's laptop, the unavoidable has happened: King Kong Lives. John LeMay, author of Kong Unmade and other kaiju books, returns to Monster Island to discuss the Godzilla vs. Megalon of the Kong series—and John un-ironically likes it! This ill-fated sequel to Dino de Laurentiis's 1976 remake stars Linda Hamilton, fresh off of her star-making role in The Terminator, as a scientist who resurrects King Kong with an artificial heart…because that cures falling off of a building. Not only that, he “falls in love” with Lady Kong, a female giant gorilla, which leads to most of the Kong film tropes getting turned on their ears. Also, King Kong eats rednecks. Yep. Nathan goes full-tilt MST3K with this movie, but he riffs because he loves. That is, when he isn't mediating a conflict between John and the show's intrepid producer, Jimmy From NASA. The Toku Topic is the convoluted King Kong copyright, which came to a head twice when Universal tried to sue Dino de Laurentiis in the 1970s and Nintendo in the early 1980s. Hear all about it in the newest episode of The Monster Island Film Vault! You can buy the hardcover of John's book Kong Unmade on Amazon. Check out Jimmy's Notes on this episode!

Guitar Lesson 36: Right hand techniques – rhythm, arpeggiating, hybrid, economy and sweep picking In guitar lesson 36, we focus fully on the right hand rhythmic and lead picking techniques. We start by looking at how you can arpeggiate chords interestingly using the pick, briefly in the style of Green Day and Guns ‘n’ Roses. We also look at a mix of pick and fingers. In the second half of the lesson we get technical and revisit economy and sweep-picking. A bit of an advanced lesson – if you’d like any tabs, then get in touch. I start the podcast today with my recommendation for Musical-U and the Musicality Podcast Main timings: 00:03:48 Review of the pick 'n' fingers (Guthrie Govan) exercise from an earlier episode 00:04:43 Review Dan's crosspicking exercise idea from episode 35: D D U D D U D U 00:05:14 Discussion of the merits of ability to play with a pick or fingerstyle 00:06:44 The question of whether to experiment using a thumbpick 00:07:28 Green Day type demonstration of Dan's preferred style of picking chords 00:10:52 Chet Atkins style jam 00:11:34 Dan's rule or hack for arpeggiating anything 00:12:51 Use a pick to string skip pick arpeggios in chords D(a) D(d) U(g) D(d) U(b) U(g) D(d) U(e) 00:14:32 Picking the same strings as the previous exercise but using pick 'n' fingers 00:15:15 Picking and fingers instruction P P 2 P 3 2 P 3 00:16:22 Paradise City picking discussion 00:18:27 Economy picking recap and revision 00:25:06 Sweep-picking revisited with some suggestions, advice and observations
More at http://philosophytalk.org/shows/copyright-wars. Today there is an entire generation of people who have never paid for music. From Napster to YouTube, some of our most innovative and inventive young people have been the targets of lawsuits by entertainment industry lawyers for violating copyright laws. What are the ideas behind copyright protection? What is the philosophical and practical basis of copyright? Can rethinking the issues suggest the form of a truce between generations? Ken and John sample the copyright debate with Larry Lessig, author of "Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy."
