This one is a pretty big deal!

Friends, I'm teaching a bunch of IP, licensing, and business law classes at the NAB show (National Association of Broadcasters) again this year. If anyone is interested in a free floor pass for the show, here's the info. (NOTE: I teach in Post Production World, and the free pass isn't for the seminars, just for the show floor.)

The show floor is open from April 19-22nd at the convention center. https://www.nabshow.com/las-vegas/

Hit the link below to register for a pass, and use the code SPEAK26 to get it for free. I don't get any kickbacks or anything, but do let me know if it doesn't work or if you have any problems!

So let me get this straight. Carr threatens a network who pulls Jimmy Kimmel off the air for making a joke about the POTUS - but reviewing one of the biggest media mergers of all time will be a "formality". Have I got that right? It is almost like Carr and this administration are hopelessly corrupt or something...

Of COURSE we don't have a federal law, and we have different circuits/districts holding different opinions....

You know what says "Christmas"? Bringing back state-sponsored pirates to kill people in the Caribbean. *headdesk*

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for (Mike) Lee!

GenAI will wipe out half of all white-collar workers. Sounds like capitalism is working as intended. Right?

Well this is problematic. At this point arguing before the SCOTUS is just "I don't have to argue the law, I just have to convince 6 Justices that my result is the political outcome they desire." I don't know how constitutional law professors are teaching with a straight face...

This is a pretty big deal. Denmark is changing their law to automatically provide people with copyright in their own likeness.

Amendment to law will strengthen protection against digital imitations of people’s identities, government says

Heading out for NAB shortly! If you're going to the show, or if you are Las Vegas local, I'd love to see you! My classes this year include "contractual issues with generative AI material", "how to start your creative business", and several others!
