@AndrewMayne ‘Our economy is not a top down system designed to solve a specific goal, it’s the product of the preferences of eight billion people. Even our preferences for our most critical needs like food and shelter are determined by cultural influences.’

En route to Manchester 🚄 ✈️ for the 6th edition of Icepops, the copyright festival with a smile on its face.

I'll present new research on museums, copyright and the public domain. 🌻

There'll be sunflowers, there'll be memes.

Slides to come.

Viral video in Japan: Zespri uploaded this entertaining commercial in which fruits and vegetables chase down a cat that isn't eating a healthy balanced diet. The song lyrics say, "Why aren't you eating fruit? Especially kiwifruit!"

@EuroBriefing ‘The EU also agreed not to apply its anti-trust policies to US digital companies.’

Can anyone point to a source confirming this?
