The Implications of Oracle v. Rimini for Generative AI - Disruptive Competition Project The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit just issued a decision that on its surface appears to be a straightforward interpretation of the Copyright Act

Thanks very much for sharing these insights.

P.S. Loving Evelyn’s Playground . For my golden retriever Lord Rodger we found a street called Rodger Drive… While I can’t find the photo with that, I have found my next favourite. Me in background with him while Lucy is oblivious 🦁

Just a great time for all the liberal justices to be spelling out how deferential we should be to legislative and executive branch assessments of "national security" interests even if they result in huge speech suppression.

Never, ever let anyone tell you that there is no "moderator's dilemma" in the U.S. because of Section 230.

Not when it took Vimeo SIXTEEN YEARS of litigation to defeat claims that ordinary content moderation created "knowledge" or "control," hence forfeiting the DMCA safe harbor for copyright.

They spoke out against their employer. Then trade secrets law was used against them. Companies have hit whistleblowers with trade secrets suits over actions like saving code to GitHub or printing documents for remote work.

I’ve been focusing on this issue for nearly 20 years. Trade secret law is blind to the public’s interest in info, and that’s a problem. If the reporter had contacted me, I’d have focused him on that simple fact. It makes trade secret law the most powerful IP law for preventing info access.

P.S. in addition to adding @franklingraves.bsky.social , will need to consider a further starter pack or, like I thought of yesterday, maybe FollowFridays this year that are done in the form of Starter Packs and will likely include most people who have been helping rebuild the IP law community

Ah thanks very much for your comment and suggestion. Maybe you should do a guest article for said Kat publication ! ^G

P.S. @707kat.bsky.social you’ll probably know many more great IP law professionals than me - tips on how to set up starter packs quickly via the foot of this article I wrote wardblawg.com/2024/11/16/b...

You’re very welcome @707kat.bsky.social. You one of the OG Kats? 15 years ago Jeremy Phillips once kindly read my 10-part thesis on how to dominate the internet, provided some tips then kindly said he had lost the will to read any more of it as it needed more work. Candid feedback at its finest 🐱

@marklemley.bsky.social okay Lemley’s Law is now in Google and ChatGPT it would appear. At least from Scotland. Hopefully in CA too?! Best wishes, Gav

@patentbuddy.bsky.social thanks v much for sharing 🙏

Thanks v much for your message. You’re one of the AI / IP / IT law stars too. Received a very kind message from Fiona last week via LinkedIn. Worth reaching out too perhaps @lilianedwards.bsky.social

Would be great to find out - not sure who leads the IPKat since Jeremy retired

Both beautiful thank you. Have published a couple of (amateur) piano videos from home via @gavward.bsky.social just there if you’d like to listen.

Could you share a link to said YouTube video please? Bluesky is good for visibility in its algorithm this way...

P.S. Reed, @bringthehuman.bsky.social , don’t suppose you know anyone who could kindly set up an initial very short Wikipedia page to further share some of my work as a bit of a “legacy” please? I’ve been putting some good into the world recently… wardblawg.com/best-legal-t... 🙏 Gav

Thank you. I was trained under Scotland’s Ally McBeal of IP Law, one of the 50 most powerful women in Scotland, Fiona Nicolson. This site has withered somewhat after 15 years but Bluesky and people like you are reinvigorating it 🙏 ^G

I appreciate it! IP Blawg is awesome!

And, yes, Professor @lilianedwards.bsky.social has always been on it too ^

Just double-checking , so our IP & AI Law & Policy Starter Pack has always included the great @marklemley.bsky.social and have added @bringthehuman.bsky.social too thanks to recent conversation. It’s at 150/150 now so you’ll really need to impress to make it onto it ;-) go.bsky.app/5TsAHdR ^G ♦️⚖️👩‍⚖️

@coreycottrell.bsky.social think you’ll enjoy this use of o1 🎮 ^

Interesting debate happening here on Bluesky re fair use of AI generated material 🍿

…our own personal views on this are contained somewhere within our 30,000 word Gav Ward Code thesis, which was helped by AI, and which has a set of 10 guiding principles.

At the very least, credit where credit due
