KZSU Hearsay Culture now on Podcast

I had previously posted about KZSU-FM (Stanford University) radio interview show and podcast “Hearsay Culture,” hosted by Dave Levine, Resident Fellow, Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School (CIS). The episode based on “Own It” has now been posted.

From HearsayCulture:

Show #54, October 17: Dean Jon Garon of Hamline University School of Law, discussing his forthcoming book “Own It - The Law & Business Guide to Launching a New Business through Innovation, Exclusivity and Relevance.” Jon’s new book is aimed at the entrepreneur who wants a concise and readable overview of the IP law issues related to starting a business and building it (at least in part) on IP. Because Jon and I differ on some issues (although we agreed on more than I thought we would), we had a conversation that ranged from open source to software patents.

Show #55, October 24: Prof. Rebecca Tushnet of Georgetown Law School, discussing copyright and trademark law. Rebecca is a prolific scholar so it was relatively easy to discuss a number of issues. Rebecca’s treatment of fansites and their impact on how we view IP is very important work.

I have included the link to Professor Tushnet’s interview as well because Rebecca is a gifted, thoughtful scholar who brings a great deal of insight into the issues surrounding intellectual property policy.

The Hearsay Culture program is a real treat and I encourage everyone to subscribe.
