My latest book is here! Wanted, More Than Human Intellectual Property is the second in a 3 book project with Routledge. It follows Owned and will itself be followed by Made (hopefully before not too long!) www.routledge.com/Wanted-More-...

My latest for @qmjip.bsky.social - on @mileycyrus.bsky.social and her Grammy-winning Flowers, revisionist music, and copyright. Does copyright have a cultural bias when it comes to appropriation practices and understanding pastiche, parody and quotation in music? www.elgaronline.com/view/journal...

This afternoon I caught up with my very first PhD graduate, Luo Li! She wrote a brilliant thesis which quickly became a book. And we just picked up where we left off (not supervision … gossip!). It was so fun!

This is the best proof ever that Google AI search is terrible. I kept searching which one is the Spice Girl who pointed. The AI overview said Emma Bunton, then Geri … but not once did it say Posh Spice! You know!? The one who points! 🤣
