You can now buy tickets for my band's gig here: wegottickets.com/event/673799

But you can't buy tickets for the video. How would that even work?

3PB’s specialist intellectual property and media and entertainment barrister Mark Wilden has written for the IP Awareness Network on the importance of offering IP advice to musicians early on in their careers.

I think musicians starting out should get basic legal advice for free.

I also think lawyers should stay out of the way when musicians are starting out.

Here's a link to me saying the same thing in 800 words.

It’s a refreshingly humble take on making art. I rather like the acknowledgement that making something that popular is hard, and that what the reader wants matters. Tempted to try his books now.

Very interesting developments on tools for artists to fight back against ingestion of their work by AI training models. And it might be unlawful to make technical workarounds to get around the use of these tools. My thoughts: www.linkedin.com/posts/mark-w...

My band has a gig. And a video. youtu.be/9Pp28EjfYOo

Excellent listening, this. I haven’t heard a single episode I don’t love.

Where? Might be me being dim, but I can’t see where and when it’s on.

Scientists at Loughborough University create 'world's smallest violin' The violin is smaller than a human hair and has "laid the groundwork" for future research.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

I cant wait to see Oliver Stone do this one.

Yes. Banger, isn’t it.

This is an excellent article about why, and how, to keep AI tools out of the classroom. I found this pretty inspiring, to be honest.

I will be on a panel at The LSE Law Summit at the end of the month talking about copyright in the digital age. Tickets are available at the link in the article below.

I expect we'll be talking about AI. We may talk about other things as well. There's no end of topics to discuss under this theme.

Am I right that the empty album is only available… on Spotify? I know you can’t solve all the problems at once, but even from an “all profits go to the cause” perspective why not at least give us a chance to buy and keep the thing.

I’d probably actually listen to it, too.

How’s that working for you? I could see it working in theory if it wasn’t, y’know, a massive inhibitor to a decision of what to do next.

Oh good lord, why would you do such a thing. Why not list all the songs you haven’t learned to play while you’re at it.

Hey, that's me on the radio!

You do it very well. I have appreciated it since before I was even a law student.

Yes, I was afraid that was what I was doing! *facepalm* What I had meant to do was continue aloud my ongoing attempts to understand P36 with a sympathetic audience. Of course I missed the fine line between that and being a smug internet lawyer! Apologies and thanks again for the great article :)

On the face of r.36.17 only the claimant is entitled to indemnity costs, aren’t they? But at the level of the Hugh Grant claim, presumably even standard basis costs would have been crippling.

The problem seems to come with 36.17(2) defining ‘advantageous’ in money terms; declarations matter too.

Very clear and interesting — thanks!

One point on Part 36 though. It’s not my (limited) experience that it’s used more by Ds than Cs, as you say, not least because the rules are massively skewed to favour offers by Cs. Maybe that’s a point in public interest litigation more than general civil lit?

Yep, Microsoft has done this to me too.

That's the ticket. Thanks!

Starting here is like starting at a new school, after how Twitter used to be. My old friends are probably here somewhere, but where do they hang out? and have they made new friends? and who are all these new people? It’s exciting, but exhausting. And I’m way too old to be at school.

Music industry contracts, eh.

I'm tracing rights assigned in one contract for "The World and the Universe", in the next for "The Universe", and in a third for "The World and the Solar System".

Someone failed to transfer rights subsisting within the Universe but beyond the Solar System. Careless.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah dammit. Not a good start.

WHAT? SAY THAT AGAIN?

Is this thing on?
