John Tehranian on Copyright & Inequality

Description

In this episode, John Tehranian, Paul W. Wildman Chair and Professor of Law at Southwestern Law School and a founding partner of One LLP, discusses his new book, "The Secret Life of Copyright: Intellectual Property and Inequality in the Age of AI," which is published by Cambridge University Press. Tehranian begins by describing the critical IP theory movement and how his work fits into that movement. Then he explains how copyright doctrine creates systemic inequality in the allocation and use of copyright, through its definition of ownership, joint authorship, and derivative works, as well as the relationship between copyright and the First Amendment.
