April 04, 2019 Betsy Rosenblatt on Fair Use as Resistance
In this episode, Elizabeth L. Rosenblatt, Visiting Professor of Law at UC Davis School of Law, discusses her article "Fair Use as Resistance," which was published in the UC Irvine Law Review. Rosenblatt begins by describing the relationship between copyright and fair use, and how copyright creates a hierarchy of producer/deriver/user. Then she explains how literary theory upends that hierarchy, by describing producers, derivers, and users as all part of a continuum, in which each becomes the other. She then introduces Bakhtin's perspective on dialogic speech, and how it informs that relationship. In particular, she focuses on his concept of the "carnivalesque," in which hierarchies are temporarily overturned, but their authority is affirmed, by their own control of the way in which they are overturned. She compares the carnivalesque to fair use, which permits disruption of copyright rules, but contains that disruption by defining what is permitted and what is not. Rosenblatt is on Twitter at @221Betsy.

April 04, 2019Greg Shill on Legal Subsidies to Cars
In this episode, Gregory Shill, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Iowa College of Law, discusses his article "Should Law Subsidize Driving?," which will be published by the NYU Law Review. Shill begins by describing the terrible toll that automobiles inflict on America every year: 93,000 deaths (40,000 in crashes and another 53,000 killed prematurely by vehicle emissions), millions of serious injuries, and many hundreds of billions of dollars of damages due to lost lives alone. Then he explains how automobiles are subsidized not only by intentional public policy, but also by legal rules that prioritize and indemnify driving, while discouraging and stigmatizing other forms of transportation. He argues that this reflects policy choices that we can and must reverse, and discusses effective approaches to reform adopted by other countries, which have dramatically reduced driving and the terrible costs it imposes. Shill is on Twitter at @greg_shill.
Shill recommends the following resources for those interested in learning more about reform:

April 03, 2019 From the Archives 77: Marshall McLuhan, The Medium is the Massage (1967)
Herbert Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980) was a Canadian philosopher and media theorist. After graduating from the University of Manitoba and Cambridge, he taught at several different schools, before landing at the University of Toronto. He became internationally known when he published his book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man (1964), and coined the catchphrase, "The Medium is the Message." According to McLuhan, we should study media itself, rather than the content of media. His subsequent book The Medium Is the Massage: An Inventory of Effects (1967) was a play on that catchphrase, and explored the effects of media on human experience.
Later in 1967, he recorded an LP version of The Medium is the Massage, which was published by Columbia Records. The script was written by McLuhan, Quentin Fiore, and Jerome Agel, and was produced by John Simon. It features McLuhan speaking, and being "interrupted" by other speakers and sounds.

April 02, 2019 Sarah Burstein on the Ontology of the Patented Design
In this episode, Sarah Burstein, Professor of Law at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, discusses her article, "The Patented Design," which was published in the Tennessee Law Review. Burstein begins by explaining what "design" is and how it relates to design patents. She describes the elements of a design patent, how they work, and the competing arguments about what they should cover. She surveys the history of design patent doctrine, looking for clues about how courts and the patent office have construed the subject matter and scope of design patents. And she argues that the patented design should be understood as a design as applied to a particular product category. She closes by explaining why this matters to the Curver Luxembourg v. Home Expressions case, in which the Federal Circuit will soon hear oral argument. Burstein is on Twitter at @design_law and blogs about design law on Tumblr at Design Law.

March 27, 2019 Ilan Wurman on Originalism
In this episode, Ilan Wurman, Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, discusses his book "A Debt Against the Living: An Introduction to Originalism," which is published by Cambridge University Press. Wurman begins by describing the premises of originalism, the constitutional theory holding that the Constitution should be understood in relation to its original public meaning. He explains how originalism works and how it differs from other theories of constitutional interpretation. He reflects on how the debate between Jefferson and Madison illuminates two competing theories of constitutional legitimacy. And he argues that originalism is consistent with the antisegregation principle of Brown v. Board of Education. Wurman is on Twitter at @ilan_wurman and his scholarship is available on SSRN.

March 26, 2019 Molly Brady on Property and Projection
In this episode, Maureen E. Brady, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law, discusses her article "Property and Projection," which will be published in the Harvard Law Review. Brady notes the increasingly popular practice of projecting unflattering images and information onto physical property, and observes that property owners have had little success with claims against the offenders, because courts have found no physical trespass and only "trivial" economic harm. She argues that property doctrine can and should recognize harms caused by light projections, and explains why property law should be more sensitive to "appropriation" harms. She also discusses potential tensions with the First Amendment, and how we should think about the justification of property law more broadly. Brady is on Twitter at @mollyxbrady.
