Rules For The Revolution: The Podcast

Denise Howell recently invited me to join the panel on This Week In Law for an episode about Digg, Google, and deep linking. It was a delight to join Kurt Opsahl of EFF, Marty Schwimmer and Denise for the lively discussion. As one commenter has put it, TWiL is “the listening equivalent of required reading” for anyone who cares about the intersection of the law and technology. Great work Denise!

On the R4R front, I have a couple episodes scheduled for release and two interviews in the works. Next week, we’ll be posting part one of my interview about the right of publicity with Gregory Rutchik of the Arts and Technology Law Group. (We’ll post part two on June 26. I’m really trying to keep to a every-2-weeks schedule…)

I have a couple fun interviews in the works too. First up, Jack Lerner (a Fellow at the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic) and I are going to sit down and talk about some recent court cases involving Google and how those cases impact internet users and especially new media users and producers. Then, at the end of this month, I have an interview scheduled with John Buckman, founder of Magnatune, where I hope to learn more about Magnatune’s approach to music licensing, and John’s views on how the music industry is changing in light of consumer demands, artists’ abilities to self-publish, and the (”evil”) approaches taken by the entrenched players in the record industry.

{Update: I just confirmed that Tony Berman (see episodes 6 & 7) will be back for an interview to discuss strategies around distributing music through record deals, on-line tools, self-publishing, and (of course) as podcasts.}

Please stay tuned for all these upcoming programs, and let us know if you’ve got ideas, comments, or suggestions for us. We love hearing from you.
