The New York Times v. Microsoft & OpenAI lawsuit is catnip for copyright nerds. I explain the legal landscape of the case: Google Books (2015), Warhol v. Goldsmith (2023), and public sentiment towards generative AI https://t.co/Dttn0FkwEk

If you're thinking about making a shirt or other merch making fun of an existing brand, think again. I discuss the Supreme Court's ruling in Jack Daniel's v. VIP Products and what the decision means for referencing brands in art https://t.co/fVuPEyTAsn

[cece @cecexie]

In Warhol v. Goldsmith, the Supreme Court significantly circumscribed the “fair use” defense in copyright infringement cases. I unpack the decision and why it will be bad for art but good for artists. https://t.co/POdJYOiCyE

Shout out to Orrick for not throwing their people under the bus by claiming they were let go for "poor performance" ... unlike certain other firms

Last week I shared @smmarotta's take on "The Slide." I just read @cecexie's in her newsletter which I also think is quite good and adds to the conversation. You can check it out here if you are curious: https://t.co/93LSj8G2ZU

As silly as ordering an email’s “To” and “CC” recipients in order of hierarchy sounds, the practice made overwhelming sense to me when I first started working in biglaw 🧵

[cece @cecexie]

I am, ultimately, ashamed of who I am and what I can bring to this world
