I'm super-excited about this free Tech Law coursebook from @crootof.bsky.social and @bjard.bsky.social being freely published, and not just because Ashkan Soltani and I have a journal article of ours reprinted in it! (See Chapter 7)

As many know, @bjard.bsky.social and I have been drafting a Technology Law coursebook for a few years. We've used it to teach classes at three institutions, including Yale Law School, and others have used chapters in their techlaw classes. We're excited to share the current version more broadly!

Third, I published Copyright’s Latent Space this summer in Cornell L. Rev. Fair use can’t solve the problems of generative art. But probing the limits of fair use illustrates copyright's treatment of authorial value, copyright’s structural limits, and platforms’ privileged access to user data.

Second, I’m thrilled to share the first excerpts of the Technology Law coursebook I’m co-authoring with @crootof.bsky.social. We’ve built these materials across courses at three institutions, beginning with the seminar we taught with @jackbalkin.bsky.social at Yale Law School in 2016.
