I'll be speaking at Podcast Academy #6 taking place the day before the Podcast & New Media Expo. It's on September 27 and you can find out more about speakers, topics, and registration here.
I've been thinking a lot about the presentation and plan to cover the top 5-10 (depending on time) "train wrecks" I see among the legal questions that podcasters face.
I'm wrapping up a vacation and as I return to on-line life, I wanted to write an update on a few upcoming events, which I'll do in the next few posts.
First up: Coming next week, I'm speaking on the 20th in Phoenix at an ABA conference hosted by the Standing Committee on Lawyers Professional Liability, on the issue of attorney blogs and the prickly ethical issues that we face. I will be presenting with Kevin OKeefe well known attorney and founder of Lexblog the infrastructure behind many attorney blogs. This is a newish area for me, but one I'm passionate about for obvious reasons.
It's a nice morning when I look at the front page of the SF Chronicle (on line, of course) and find two of my favorite copyright advocates quoted in the same article about how copyright, free speech and the political process are impacted by the internet.
I recently interviewed the co-authors of the Canadian adaptation of the Podcasting Legal Guide. Andy Kaplan-Myrth and Kathleen Simmons share their experiences in creating the guide and highlight the many differences between US and Canadian law. The interview is posted at the Rules for the Revolution podcast blog. For more information, check out the Podcasting Legal Guide for Canada: Northern Rules for the Revolution (pdf).
These are my notes from the "fireside chat" with John McCain at the AlwaysOn Stanford Summit:
John McCain - US Senator & 2008 Presidential candidate
Tony Perkins - Founder Always On
Here are my notes from the patent panel:
Moderator is: Michael Brandis (Sedgwick, Detert, Moran & Arnold)
Robert Ambrogi reports on the election of the first officers for the Second Life Bar Association. I haven't spent as much time as I had originally expected in SL, but my avatar might just need to check this one out!
First up is a panel about going "beyond search." Moderator is James Jaoquin of Bridescale. Panelists are Paul Martino of Aggregate Knowledge, Joe Greenstein of Flixter, David Hyman of MOG, Bambi Francisco of Vator.tv. These are my notes (a few photos are available here).
I'm at AlwaysOn's Stanford Summit today, and I'll be blogging a bit about my impressions of the conference and the many topics that are being covered.
CIS fellow and newly-arrived Tulane law professor Elizabeth Townsend Gard was profiled recently as an innovator in the legal education field, and specifically for her work in using Second Life to teach about concepts in property law. Check out the full story here including audio files and links to some of Elizabeth's excellent work.
