@lexlanham I may or may not have dressed up as Elijah using an old Dumbledore costume a time or two. Couldn't blame it on April 1 though.

[Joseph Fishman @jpfishman]

@lexlanham Thank you, both for the congrats & all those referrals!

For now, I just hope my future students in NYC will be able to tolerate all of my forced Boston sports references in class.

Some big professional news: I’m thrilled to be joining the amazing faculty at @FordhamLawNYC this fall!

Fordham Law School welcomes three distinguished new faculty members to the faculty this fall.

Joseph Fishman (@jpfishman) is an expert on intellectual property, particularly within the music industry.

[Joseph Fishman @jpfishman]

It’s incredibly hard to say goodbye to @vanderbiltlaw, where I’ve spent a fulfilling & formative 11 years. Without exaggeration, I can’t imagine a better place to grow up as a scholar. I'm so grateful for my time in the Vandy community.

🚨BREAKING: Federal judge concludes that using copyrighted works to train generative A.I. is transformative and ultimately a fair use. (Nevertheless, Anthropic can’t beat the lawsuit because it pirated books for another purpose too.) First of kind ruling. https://t.co/v8w639vlmF

Dear Big Law. This is how it is done. Bravo, Jenner and Block! Don’t you other firms ever watch those superhero movies? The selfish, greedy cowards always finished last!

I have been looking forward to this book for years, ever since I first heard the idea from @DaraHorn. Can't wait to finally read it!

Court hedges on how much this decision maps onto generative AI (as opposed to the Westlaw-like search engine that was at issue here).

The Copyright Office published a Notice of Inquiry requesting information on Issues Related to Performing Rights Organizations. Initial public comments must be received by April 11. https://t.co/6D2jwljceI

Like Universal, Warner now also sidesteps Spotify's "bundled" payouts under the statutory license, which is the default industry-wide option for mechanical licensing, by instead agreeing with Spotify to its own direct deal.
