This week we're chatting with Fight for the Future's Executive Director Sarah Roth-Gaudette, about the recent revelations around exactly who was submitting all those fake net neutrality comments to the FCC. We'll also be chatting with Lia Holland, Fight for the Future's Campaigns and Communications Director, about the COVID vaccine patent waiver (and what it means for patent politics in general).

On today's episode I'm joined by Marshall Long, aka @OGBTC on Twitter. And Marshall is for sure an OG of Bitcoin. Very few people in the game have been mining as long as Marshall has, so it was awesome to get to chat with him and get his perspective on the mining industry today. Marshall shares his take on the most recent stories including the ongoing Bitmain bottlenecks and hardware challenges, the lawsuit between Lancium and Layer1, and how the concept of defensive patents affects the mining industry as a whole.

In Patent Politics: Life Forms, Markets, and the Public Interest in the United States and Europe (University of Chicago Press, 2017), Shobita Parthasarathy takes us through a thirty year history of the legal debates around patents. This is an understudied area of STS that Parthasarathy carefully navigates in order to understand how knowledge production interacts with law. The reader learns the differences in values, law and objects between US and European patent politics. This comparison brings into focus the role that law, biotechnology corporations, scientists, activists, and more play in deciding what knowledge deserves legal protection. Patent Politics is a fascinating read that will continue to be relevant for many years to come. Chad J. Valasek is a Ph.D. Candidate in Sociology & Science Studies at the University of California, San Diego. His research interests include the history of the human sciences, the influence of the behavioral sciences on medical practice and health policy, and political activism around science and the arts.

Host Brian Wesolowski sits down with author and professor Shobita Parthasarathy about intellectual property. She breaks down how different approaches to patents in the United States and Europe can lead to very different policy outcomes, especially around controversial issues such as patenting life forms. Then Brian brings in a crowd – Daniel O'Maley of the Center for International Media Assistance, as well as Corinne Cath, Mehwish Ansari, & Niels ten Oever of Article 19 – to chat about why global media development professionals should be engaging in the many internet governance bodies. Think about it – if you care about a vibrant media sector in developing nations, don't you want to make sure you have a voice in how the the internet functions?
