In this episode, Dr. Andrew Ventimiglia, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland, Australia, discusses his new book, "Copyrighting God," which is published by Cambridge University Press. Ventimiglia begins by reflecting on the historical relationship between copyright and religion, and how in the modern era, religious organizations have bent copyright doctrine to their own purposes. He then discusses how particular religious organizations used copyright for their own purposes, focusing on the Urantia Foundation, Mary Baker Eddy and Christian Science, and the Church of Scientology. He closes with additional thoughts about how religious organizations are using copyright today, and what might happen in the future. Ventimiglia is on Twitter at @andrewvent.

Professor Jim Allan, TC Beirne School of Law, University of Queensland, argues that in five of the world's oldest democracies, the long-established Anglosphere countries of Canada, New Zealand, the UK, the US and Australia, the past few decades have seen a decline in the extent to which democratic decision-making prevails. He outlines the causes of that decline in democracy and then notes the ways that decline is masked and obfuscated. 16 May 2014
