Focused on the interaction between law, technology and society. Bits of IP, whimsy and other ephemera thrown in sometimes. (Usual story with RTs/shares)

@DrKatyBarnett keep that vorpal blade well sheathed Katy, those things are sharp :) My non erudite approach was to just share para 67 of the joint judgment with the class, and then use the following to show the type of behaviours that lead to these outcomes [this post dates by a decade]

@DrKatyBarnett I shared your tweet in class today, ran through the efile, had audio running in the background from the hearing and showed them how short a special leave app is by reference to the transcript. Then I said "read it and weep" as this one will be examinable, whatever it says :)

I complain (too much) about bad design, but seriously it is aesthetically and morally offensive. Big tech is particularly good at bad design. They also think it is cool to force us to agree with them. Witness this. I have to agree or I can't get off the screen...let's not do this

Let's hope the political rush to bury Rule of Law under Rules as Code is subverted somewhat by the more nuanced approach advocated here. And yes, multi-interpretability and contestation are features not bugs

The Great Plunder – curbing human creativity through mass theft.

Technology companies aren’t just stealing your intellectual property – your creative content - they’re making vast profits out of selling it back to you.

For the #PublicDomain, time stopped in 1998, when the #SonnyBonoCopyrightAct froze copyright expirations for 20 years. In 2019, time started again, with a massive crop of works from 1923 returning to the public domain, free for all to use and adapt:
