Given that lawyers here may want to follow accounts and connections related to their legal practice areas I’ve set up the starter packs below. Hope this helps expand and connect more legal communities. Reposts gratefully received and if anyone wants added to any just ask ^G #lawsky #law #legaltech

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.

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.

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.

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

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

GenAI has many uses, and it is fair use to train on copyrighted material (just to be clear), but don't use it to be lazy and shirk your creative responsibilities.
