In the age of right-click and repost, it's easy to forget that every image on the internet was created by someone -someone who owns the rights to it. Whether you're a photographer, a content creator, or just someone who loves to share pretty pictures, it's crucial to understand copyright and intellectual property laws. Photographers retain the rights to their work the moment they hit the shutter. That means just because an image is posted online doesn't make it fair game for memes, marketing, or mood boards. Using someone else's work without permission (or proper credit, or payment!) is not just bad etiquette - it's potentially illegal. Respecting copyright isn't about limiting creativity - it's about protecting it. So before you grab that perfect photo for your project, take a moment to ask: Do I have permission to use this? If not, reach out, license it properly, or create something of your own. Because being respectful of others' work helps protect your own too.

As generative AI transforms the way businesses operate, understanding copyright risks has never been more critical. In this episode, host Julian Dibbell sits down with Rich Assmus and Brian Nolan, partners in our Intellectual Property practice, to unpack the U.S. Copyright Office's latest report on generative AI and copyright law. They dive into the high-stakes legal questions surrounding the use of copyrighted content to train AI models, including hot-button issues like model weights and retrieval-augmented generation. They also discuss how courts may apply the fair use doctrine to generative AI, with a close look at transformativeness, market impact, and other key factors.

Courtroom battles are reshaping the film industry in ways that affect everyone from A-list stars to streaming subscribers. When Scarlett Johansson sued Disney over Black Widow's simultaneous streaming release, she wasn't just fighting for her paycheck—she was challenging how talent gets compensated in the digital age. The resulting alleged $40 million settlement forced studios everywhere to rewrite contracts with streaming contingencies.Meanwhile, across the globe, Nigerian filmmaker Femi Adebayo made history with a judgment against digital pirates who cleverly misused his film's promotional materials. His three-year legal fight established crucial precedent for Nollywood creators and signaled that copyright protection extends beyond Hollywood's borders.Technology continues to create fascinating legal disruptions. When Quentin Tarantino announced plans to auction Pulp Fiction NFTs, Miramax quickly filed suit, arguing his 1993 contract never contemplated blockchain tokens. Though they settled privately, the dispute highlighted how decades-old agreements struggle to address technologies that didn't exist when the ink dried.The most provocative developments involve artificial intelligence. Buenos Aires prosecutors are challenging their own government for failing to regulate AI systems that clone faces and voices without consent, framing digital identity as a constitutional right. Simultaneously, Chinese courts ruled that images created with AI tools can receive copyright protection—but only when significant human creativity guides the process.From Japanese courts imposing record penalties against "fast movie" channels that condense films into unauthorized summaries to European judges limiting what information YouTube must share about copyright infringers, these cases collectively demonstrate that intellectual property law isn't just legal background noise—it's the script determining who controls the stories we love.Whether you're creating content, distributing it, or simply enjoying it as a fan, understanding these shifting legal frameworks provides a fascinating new lens through which to view your favorite films.

Inside Strategic Coach: Connecting Entrepreneurs With What Really Matters
What if the solutions you've already created could generate value for decades—without more of your time? In this episode, Dan Sullivan reveals how packaging, naming, and protecting your ideas transforms them into scalable intellectual property. Learn why your “second company” (your multiplier) could soon be worth more than your entire business—and how to make it happen. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:How to make your solutions valuable by protecting them through intellectual property law.The thinking tool that lets you find the right person for the right role.How you can easily turn your ideas into intellectual property.The importance of sticking to your business model.How you can franchise your ideas.The future of Strategic Coach® over the next 20 years. Show Notes: Your first company, your R&D company, creates solutions for people. Your second company, your multiplier company, packages your solutions as your intellectual property. If you record, package, and name a solution you've created, it will have massive ongoing value. Before you put your ideas out into the world, you must protect them. Boredom with your own solutions is a hidden risk—document them before you move on to the next idea. The value of Strategic Coach's patents will soon surpass 55 years of coaching revenue—proof that IP compounds value. Protecting your creativity isn't just a multiplier; it's an accelerator of long-term wealth. A two-company structure makes you immune to market chaos because you control the value of your ideas. Your biggest breakthroughs will come from technology multiplied by teamwork, not from grinding harder. The same business model that built your success can scale infinitely—if you focus on IP, not just execution.

Before Google Maps. Before smartphones. Before Silicon Valley gave mobile a second thought — the Blumberg brothers were strapping GPS units to PalmPilots and piping real estate data through them. In this episode, Nick Smoot sits down with Brad and Eric Blumberg, the underdog inventors who quietly pioneered location-based real estate search and filed the first patents that would later shape the mobile experience we take for granted.From living a few blocks apart in Jersey to battling billion-dollar giants over the definition of “proximate,” the brothers share their wild ride through invention, patent wars, early startup life, and building trust with major partners before “startup” was even a cultural word.This one's about grit, timing, vision — and being early enough that people thought you were crazy.They were the first to hack GPS and mobile devices to make real estate location-aware.At a time when telecom was obsessed with “minutes,” they were shouting: “It's about data.”Selling a vision is often harder than building the tech.They faced deep skepticism from insiders who couldn't see the future — yet.Real innovation demands a shift in perception — and persistence when no one's clapping yet.They proved you could shop for homes on a tiny screen long before Zillow or Redfin.Innovation often starts by refusing to follow the rules everyone else takes for granted.They stuck to their vision even through lawsuits, economic downturns, and tech shifts.Progress doesn't happen in a straight line — it's messy, hard, and worth it.At the center of it all: understanding real user needs, not just market trends.Check out AstorKey, their newest innovation using encrypted, decentralized data to rethink how mortgages are done — without giving up your identity to the internet forever.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is the first major U.S. federal law to squarely target non‑consensual intimate imagery (NCII) and to include a component requiring tech companies to act. Long handled via a patchwork of state laws, it criminalizes NCII at the federal level—both authentic images and AI-generated digital forgeries—and requires that platforms remove reported NCII within 48 hours of notification by a victim or victim's representative. TAKE IT DOWN passed with wide bipartisan support—unanimously in the Senate, and 409-2 in the House. Melania Trump championed it, and it is expected that President Trump will sign it. And yet, some of the cyber civil rights organizations that have led the fight to mitigate the harms of NCII over many years have serious reservations about the bill as passed. Why?Lawfare Contributing Editor Renée DiResta sits down with Mary Anne Franks, President and Legislative & Technology Policy Director at the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, and Eugene L. and Barbara A. Bernard Professor in Intellectual Property, Technology, and Civil Rights Law at the George Washington Law School; Becca Branum, Deputy Director of the Free Expression Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology; and Adam Conner, Vice President, Technology Policy at the Center for American Progress to unpack what the bill does, why it suddenly cruised through on a rare bipartisan wave of support, and whether its sweeping takedown mandate will protect victims or chill lawful speech. This is a nuanced discussion; some of the guests support specific aspects of the bill, while disagreeing about the implementation of others. Expect clear explanations, constructive disagreement, and practical takeaways for understanding this important piece of legislation.More resources:TAKE IT DOWN Act Legislative Summary and TextBecca Branum and Tom Bowman's letter urging changes to TAKE IT DOWN prior to passageCyber Civil Rights InitiativeSenate press release upon House signing, including list of 120 supporting organizationsTo receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

2:30 Hollywood Reels as Trump Proposes 100% Tariff on Services and Intellectual Property You would think that MAGA would like to see Hollywood go extinct. But Trump is concerned about the fossil film industry — as he says its about propaganda. Yet 100% tariff on foreign films raises questions about a new precedent of taxing services and intellectual property. Is Trump trying to push production to AI? If he follows through, that's what will happen 32:07 LIVE audience comments 35:42 To Pay $1,000 Deportation Award to Illegals: Welfare Magnet Flipped to Cash Handouts for Illegals Instead of slamming the door on illegal immigrants with a “welfare repellent” plan—charging them sky-high fees for services like education and government interactions—he's dishing out $1,000 cash and free plane tickets to “self-deport”! Studies scream these “pay-to-go” programs are a global bust, yet Trump's doubling down, hinting at letting “good” migrants waltz back in. 42:20 US Military Into Mexico? Drone Strikes, Cartel Chaos, and a Narco-State Nightmare Despite the Mexican president's fierce rejection, Trump eyes drone strikes and unilateral action. Critics warn this could ignite a perpetual war zone, with the Pentagon's military-industrial complex turning Mexico into a fentanyl-fueled battlefield. The drug war's dark legacy—fueled by decades of prohibition—has birthed cartels richer than ever, trafficking not just drugs but humans. 52:11 Trump's Alcatraz Revival: A Hollywood-Style Prison Spectacle In a plot twist ripped from a Michael Bay blockbuster, Trump's vowing to resurrect Alcatraz as a hulking, all-caps symbol of “LAW, ORDER, AND JUSTICE” to cage America's “most ruthless” criminals—think Al Capone, but with modern cartel flair! He's aiming to transform this historic island from a tourist trap into a mega-prison for illegal immigrants and violent offenders. Critics slam it as a costly, redundant pipe dream—in a prison system that's already failing, as one warden boasts a “clean version of hell”, is this a serious crackdown or just Trump's latest TV-ready stunt to keep us entertained? 1:10:26 Audience emails and…How has my advice aged from September 2020Aren't tariffs against China good?Quitting Congress Would be to “Give Up My Life”Euthanasia and neglect in Canada's government run healthcare1:56:26 Tokenized Takeover: Real World Assets, AI Agents with “Personal Infinite Intelligence” Beware of the financial apocalypse as crypto cronies unleash a sinister plot to tokenize everything!

BlackRock, Facebook, and Dubai's elite are diving into this “smart” scam, with Tether's AI platform promising “personal infinite intelligence” to spy on your wallet while billions of AI agents spend you into oblivion. 2:13:58 Trump Crypto Crime Family: Billion-Dollar Grift to Replace Banks with Stablecoin Scams With their meme coin crashing 85% yet still spiking for exclusive dinners with the Donald, the Trump clan is raking in millions through “pseudo-anonymous” blockchain contests and $1.5M-per-plate fundraisers. Eric boasts they'll replace banks within a decade, pushing stablecoins as a sneaky CBDC trap From Dubai hotels to tokenized real estate, their global grift is a naked power grab, with insiders like a $75M-donating crypto mogul dodging SEC probes. 2:38:48 Heroic Love Defies Tragedy: Lifeguard Saves Soulmate in Pool Horror, That Left Her Paralyzed.

Show Notes: Joe O'Mahoney is a part-time professor of consulting at Cardiff University and a leading authority on the growth and sale of boutiques and small consultancies. He has spent 20 years researching consultancies and interviewing hundreds of owners and senior leaders. He has developed a growth drivers model, which includes factors like leadership quality, client relationships, and market positioning. He conducts benchmark surveys and interviews with leadership teams and clients. Joe then conducts a SWOT analysis, and estimates the valuation of the firm. He helps the owner satisfy their equity goals, and pull the levers. Joe typically focuses on two to three priorities each year to drive up the firm's growth. He shares three key factors in leadership and team management that are crucial to a successful scale up. Building a Sales Team for a Boutique Consultancy Joe explains that, in the long term, building a competent sales team is crucial for a firm's valuation. This involves promoting, training, mentoring, rewarding, and recruiting sales capabilities. A culture that puts sales first should be complemented by a competent system that listens to sales calls and introduces new hires. This will help build a pipeline of capable sales people in the future. In the short term, implementing these strategies can improve marketing efforts. It is important to consider how your value proposition is translated into marketing themes and content, as well as the frequency and visibility of these posts. It is crucial to ensure that marketing efforts are effective and aligned with the company's goals. Challenges of Scaling a Business Joe discusses the challenges of scaling a business, particularly for those with a two to 3 million revenue mark. He suggests that firms need to focus on their signature service, which is high value, high growth, and can cross-sell. Marketing algorithms reward clarity in these areas, leading to better value propositions, marketing, and themes. This clarity allows firms to build intellectual property (IP) and increase margins. Once sales, project margin, or EBITDA are reached, firms can decide on additional products to sell alongside their existing offerings, such as parallel products, cross-selling services, or follow-on services. By building a logical sequence of events, firms can achieve high-quality revenue. The Importance of IP in Scaling Consulting Firms Joe shares an example of a firm that focused on a manual approach to cloud consultancy. However, when breaking down their service lines by revenue, the company realized that they should change their focus. In terms of branding and content, Joe explains that buyers are interested in the past growth, future growth, and margin of the firm, but they also want a marketing machine that generates clients, and an architecture of sales that generates high-quality leads. Joe explains that IP is a top priority for buyers, including the quality of the leadership team. This includes delivery IP, marketing IP, thought leadership, website design, and content. LinkedIn is an interesting example, as due diligence is starting to reveal its influence on a firm's success. Valuation and Growth Trajectory Valuation is a crucial factor for buyers and private equity, as they are interested in the future value of the firm. A healthy growth trajectory is essential, and a machine that can push up the multiple is preferred. Joe explains that it is often better to focus on building the architecture that will allow you to improve your multiple, rather than focusing on increasing your profit margin. This can be achieved by implementing a PSA system, CRM system, training people, and building out IP. However, it is difficult to drive up the multiple quickly, as everyone is talking about margin all the time. It is important for buyers to consider the firm's potential for growth and profitability before making a decision. Joe talks about the EBITDA and how it should be approached. The conversation turns to the treatment of owners' compensation and how it is recalculated during the sale process. He explains that if a board member is preparing a company for sale, Joe's fee is taken out, and if a founder is paying themselves in dividends to improve profits, the EBITDA is adjusted accordingly. Employees and Recruiting Talent for Boutique Consulting Firms Joe discusses the importance of recruiting and training employees to provide better value to clients and charge more. He suggests that consultancies operate in two markets: the market for clients and the market for employees. Boutique consultancies often struggle to recruit decent consultants due to the lack of brand recognition and value proposition. To attract the right people, consultancies need to have a clear value proposition for both clients and employees. This includes a clear cultural side of the company, clear values, and clear due diligence rules. The architecture behind this includes competencies, promotions, training, and mentoring. Buyers of Consulting Firms The typical buyers of consulting firms are typically strategic and industry buyers, who have a gap in their offerings. Private equity has become more involved in the market, accounting for 55% of purchases of consulting firms, including private equity-backed strategic buyers. This shift has led to a growing number of non-consultancies seeking to develop consultancy arms, accounting for about 15% of purchases. The Boutique Leaders Club for Consultants Joe shares information about IP aspects he provides to his clients. He runs the Boutique Leaders club, a group of about 40 owners of consultancies above the 5 million revenue mark. Joe gives them access to 250 bits of IP. This includes competency frameworks, succession plans, and training on business development. The group can also conduct benchmarking surveys twice a year, tracking progress and creating plans for the future. The Boutique Leaders club also offers training materials, both online and face-to-face, to help firms prepare for the selling process, such as finding the best corporate advisor, selecting the right lawyers, and preparing for the selling process. Joe's Engagement Model with Consulting Firms Joe also shares his engagement model with consulting firms, which includes three ways: Board Advisory, as part of his leaders club, and one-off projects. He typically works with clients on a monthly basis, with a focus on value proposition, business development, and marketing. His clients are mostly UK-based, with three US clients and some in Western Europe. He left corporate consulting due to his dislike of managing people, and he is currently the bottleneck to his own firm. He has worked with some good ex-CEOs but struggles with quality of revenues. Bachman asks O'Mahoney to share his website and LinkedIn profile, and he appreciates the opportunity to discuss his experiences and insights on the industry.

In this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash welcome Beth Benike, CEO of Busy Baby, a baby product company featured on Shark Tank and NPR's How I Built This. Benike, a former Army veteran and mother, shares the story of Busy Baby, which started with a silicone placemat that suctions to surfaces and tethers toys to keep them off the ground. Now offering eight interchangeable products, the company faces a crisis due to new U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, with $158,000 of inventory stuck in China and tariffs soaring to $230,000—far exceeding the anticipated $30,000 for a 20-30% rate. Manufacturing in the U.S. isn't viable due to the lack of raw silicone material, high minimum order requirements, and costly equipment (e.g., $4.5 million for one product line). Benike highlights the ripple effect on small businesses, like trucking firms and port workers, as imports stall and shelves risk going empty, potentially disrupting holiday sales since 80% of U.S. toys come from China. She plans to pivot to selling in Europe, Canada, and Australia, despite unfamiliar markets, as tariffs make U.S. sales unsustainable. The discussion also touches on unfair tariff exemptions for large companies like Lenovo, leaving small businesses like Busy Baby struggling, and the broader economic threat to jobs and consumer spending. Benike remains determined to protect her team and find solutions, urging listeners to visit busybaby.com.

In this episode of Absolute Trust Talk, host Kirsten Howe examines the estate complications following Richard Simmons' death in July 2023. She details the ongoing legal dispute between Simmons' brother Leonard (named trustee) and Teresa, his housekeeper of 30 years who briefly served as co-trustee before a contested resignation. The conflict centers around approximately $1 million in personal property—primarily jewelry—that Teresa allegedly took when evicted from Simmons' home. While Teresa claims Simmons gifted her the jewelry in 2014, Leonard argues documentation proves otherwise. Kirsten extracts three valuable lessons: first, avoid naming co-trustees, especially in complex estates where a professional trustee would be more effective; second, document valuable lifetime gifts to prevent future disputes; and third, include specific provisions for non-owner residents in your estate plan to prevent eviction complications. This case study highlights how proper estate planning can prevent family conflicts, protect valuable assets, and ensure thoughtful treatment of longtime household members after death. Time-stamped Show Notes: 0:00 Introduction 1:30 Meet the central figures in this estate drama: Teresa, the housekeeper, vs. Leonard, the brother. 2:05 From co-trustee to eviction, let's talk more about the shocking timeline after Simmons' death. 3:15 The million-dollar mystery: where did Richard Simmons' valuable jewelry disappear to? 4:20 Next, we'll discuss the number one estate planning lesson this case reveals: why co-trustees can transform estates into battlegrounds. 5:45 Estate Planning Lesson #2: Gifting jewelry? Why documentation might be your best accessory 6:30 And last but not least, estate planning lesson number three, the critical provision that could have prevented a housekeeper's eviction.
Prosecution laches is an infrequently used equitable doctrine that bars enforcement of a patent when the patentee has unreasonably delayed prosecution in a way that prejudices others. It is most commonly used by accused infringers as a defense in patent litigation, although the USPTO can also use it as a basis for refusing allowance. Regardless, it is most often used against the backdrop of multiple continuation applications.Continuation applications are applications which all follow from (i.e., claim priority to) a single earlier application. Creating “families” of patent applications in this way is a very common practice and allows the patent owner to claim different embodiments of the original invention in response to changes in marketplace and/or technological evolution. In Sonos Inc. v. Google LLC, currently on appeal to the Federal Circuit, the district court, following a jury verdict in favor of the patentee, found Sonos’ patents unenforceable due to prosecution laches, despite Sonos diligently prosecuting continuation applications for 13 years, serially filing a continuation with each allowance. If upheld, the ruling will represent a notable change to patent practice with far-reaching effects for U.S. innovators of all stripes including, independent innovators, corporate innovators, and universities.This FedSoc forum will use the Sonos v. Google and other laches cases as needed to explore the conflict between prosecution laches and current continuation practice and much more.Featuring:Joseph Matal, Principal, Clear IP, LLCPaul Michel, Former Chief Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Federal CircuitGene Quinn, President & CEO, IPWatchdog, Inc.Moderator: Jeffrey Depp, Policy Consultant, Center for Strategic and International Studies--To register, click the link above.
Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 462. I previously appeared on Joshua Smith's Break the Cycle, in July 2021 (KOL349 | CouchStreams Ep 58 on Break the Cycle with Joshua Smith). I had forgotten but we also did a short "CouchStreams After Hours" segment for subscribers which was, and still is, behind a paywall. We discussed various things—my scooter ride with Antony Sammeroff in Austin and travels with Sammeroff the previous months (see KOL330 | Lift Talks #2 With Kinsella & Sammeroff and KOL329 | Lift Talks #1 With Kinsella & Sammeroff), skiing accidents while skiing with Sammeroff, my joining the Libertarian Party, the Mises Caucus, loser brigade libertarians and the Hoppe photo with Michael Malice's helicopter gift (see below), when I was offered a job at Cato, when I was Disinvited From Cato, and so on. I had forgotten about this but stumbled across the file on my computer looking for something else, so decided to upload and podcast it. It's been long enough.

Behind every cape, catchphrase, and cartoon lies a labyrinth of legal battles that define who owns our most beloved fictional characters. From courtrooms to corporate boardrooms, the fight for character rights shapes not just entertainment, but billion-dollar empires.Dive deep with us into fascinating cases that reveal the high-stakes world of character ownership. The Pokémon Company's swift takedown of a $40 million bootleg mobile game shows how fiercely major franchises protect their roster of creatures. Meanwhile, Star Wars faces unexpected challengers as actors from deleted scenes demand £190 million for their likenesses appearing in new content – potentially changing how studios use archival footage forever.Explore Disney's $10 billion Moana lawsuit, where an animator claims his unpublished screenplay was appropriated for the hit film, raising profound questions about idea ownership in Hollywood. We also examine what happens when copyright protection expires, as Popeye and Tintin enter the public domain only to be immediately reimagined as horror characters and noir detectives.The emotional battles over El Chavo del Ocho characters demonstrate how performers and creators clash when trying to separate the artist from their iconic role. María Antonieta de las Nieves' landmark victory to perform as La Chilindrina independently stands in stark contrast to Spider-Man's tangled web of rights shared between Sony and Disney in an unprecedented co-licensing arrangement. And who knew that Sherlock Holmes showing emotions could trigger copyright infringement claims?These stories reveal a fundamental truth: in our character-driven entertainment landscape, intellectual property isn't just about legal documents – it's about who controls the soul of our collective imagination.

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I spoke with Ryan Schermerhorn, a US-based patent attorney who's been helping clean tech innovators navigate the IP maze - until recently with the help of a now-suspended fast-track programme.We discussed the United States Patent and Trademark Office's (USPTO) Climate Change Mitigation Pilot Program, which allowed inventors of emissions-reducing technologies to get patents approved in months rather than years, at no cost. Ryan explained how it worked, why it was a big deal for clean tech startups, and how it quietly disappeared earlier this year following a political shift.We also unpacked what this means for innovators now. Ryan shared practical alternatives - like using international patent offices with similar climate fast-track schemes and leveraging the Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) to speed things up globally.We also covered the balance between IP protection and open innovation, why patents still matter in the climate crisis, and how to protect ideas early without blowing the budget.If you're working in climate tech, clean energy, or emissions monitoring and need to protect or scale your innovation, this episode is for you.Support the showPodcast supportersI'd like to sincerely thank this podcast's amazing supporters: Lorcan Sheehan Jerry Sweeney Andreas Werner Stephen Carroll Roger Arnold And remember you too can Support the Podcast - it is really easy and hugely important as it will enable me to continue to create more excellent Climate Confident episodes like this one.ContactIf you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - get in touch via direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn.

Kinsella on Liberty Podcast: Episode 459. In response to lots of froth on Twitter related to Jack Dorsey's call to "delete all IP law," which was echoed by Elon Musk (Musk and Dorsey: “delete all IP law”) I decided to attempt to host an impromptu Twitter Spaces about this. After overcoming some technical glitches, here is the result (and thanks to @Brunopbch, @NotGovernor (Patrick Smith), and @TrueAmPatriot86 for assists). I proposed to the space: "Fielding Questions About Abolishing Intellectual Property, about IP, and About Libertarian Property Rights", and that's basically what we ended up talking about. The Twitter spaces can be viewed here; I have clipped off the first 8 minutes or so of setup talk for this podcast episode. Grok summaries and shownotes and Youtube Transcript below. https://t.co/IHeVhPhlbs I'm going to do an impromptu Twitter space in an hour (2pm CST) to field any questions about the Libertarian Case Against Intellectual Property, in view of recent Twitter debates inspired by @jack Dorsey's and @elonmusk 's anti-IP comments,… — Stephan Kinsella (@NSKinsella) April 14, 2025 https://youtu.be/01FdFoB9QHY GROK HIGH LEVEL SUMMARY: Below is a concise summary of the video "Stephan Kinsella on Intellectual Property (IP)" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01FdFoB9QHY), divided into six parts, based on the provided transcript and informed by the linked post (https://c4sif.org/2025/04/musk-dorsey-delete-all-ip-law/). The video features Stephan Kinsella discussing the case for abolishing IP laws in a Twitter Spaces session. Summary in Six Parts 1. Introduction and Context (0:01–1:03) Kinsella opens the session, discussing technical setup and his recent online IP debates, sparked by figures like Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey, who advocate abolishing IP laws. 2. Addressing IP Objections (1:09–5:16) Kinsella invites questions and tackles a common concern: IP protects small creators from big corporations. He argues this is misguided, noting Musk and Dorsey's history of non-aggressive patent use (e.g., Tesla, Twitter), and challenges the assumption that creators deserve government-enforced rights. 3. Misconceptions and Debate Challenges (5:23–12:28) He debunks myths equating copying to theft or plagiarism, criticizing IP as anti-competitive. Kinsella laments Twitter's combative nature, where users avoid substantive dialogue, and shares his desire for recorded discussions to foster learning, citing past successes. 4. China and IP's Economic Impact (12:34–15:22) Responding to a question, Kinsella argues China's growth shows benefits of lax IP, as adopting Western technology isn't theft but learning. He critiques U.S. politicians for using “IP theft” to justify tariffs and impose Western IP laws globally. 5. IP vs. Property Rights and Innovation (15:48–38:02) Kinsella disputes claims that IP is a natural right, explaining ownership comes from first use or contract, not creation. Using Bitcoin as an example, he emphasizes secrecy over legal enforcement. He argues IP reduces innovation by granting monopolies, slowing progress for patent holders and competitors alike. 6. Corporate Power and IP's Decline (38:09–1:15:40) He asserts IP fuels corporate giants (e.g., pharmaceuticals, Microsoft), not small creators, inflating prices and harming consumers. Kinsella notes copyright's decline due to piracy and predicts technology (e.g., 3D printing) may render patents obsolete. He concludes that abolishing IP requires embracing uncertainty for justice, despite public fear of change. This summary condenses the video's key points into six sections, aligning with the principled and pragmatic arguments Kinsella makes, while reflecting Musk and Dorsey's anti-IP stance from the linked post.

To describe the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as rapid is a vast understatement. From its ubiquitous presence assisting us in our most mundane daily tasks to its warm embrace by business leaders eager to revolutionize their industries, AI is pervasive – and so are its pitfalls. Indemnification provisions and enforcement are expected to shift significantly as organizations adapt to related legal changes for creators, manufacturers, distributors and users.In BakerHostetler's second annual IP Perspectives (BHIPP) thought leadership piece, the Intellectual Property Practice Group highlights a myriad of IP-related topics that are at the forefront of industry developments and current challenges and trends.
The foundations of modern copyright law were laid on 10th April 1710, when the Statute of Anne came into effect. Before the Act, anyone could copy and sell books without giving a penny to the author; now, writers would be protected from being completely exploited by (British) publishers for an initial period of 14 years. Writers like Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe had earned respect as professionals, pushing for more control over their own work, and leading to a shift away from the Stationers' Company—a powerful guild that previously held a monopoly over publishing and censorship. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explore how later writers like William Wordsworth would campaign for longer copyright duration; revisit the milestones that allowed the law to be applied to other creative endeavours, such as music and film; and reveal why you won't be hearing Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in many adverts for a few years yet… Further Reading: • ‘The Statute of Anne' (British Parliament, 1710): https://ipmall.law.unh.edu/sites/default/files/hosted_resources/lipa/copyrights/Statute%20of%20Anne%20_1710_.pdf • ‘Whose line is it anyway?'
