Thanks to my friends over at @ipwatchdog for posting a short piece I wrote about how our music copyright laws are slightly out of tune.
The Katy Perry Verdict Proves Our Music Copyright Laws Need a Tune Up ipwatchdog.com/2019/08/29/ka…
Not to mix metaphors, but it looks like Hall of Fame MLB pitcher #TomSeaver picked off #TomBrady at the USPTO. The game has really just started though and there are lots of innings (or quarters) to go. thetmca.com/tom-brady-gets-s…
Great article by @nananastia on the fall out from the #KatyPerry Dark Horse Music Copyright debacle!
The copyright infringement ruling against Katy Perry came down to just 4 notes in a minor scale progression. It's a riff so basic, it raises questions about who gets to own standard songwriting elements kqed.org/arts/13863015/perry…
Great @washingtonpost article by @edleeprof. The fact is, western music is built on musical borrowings. From Bach, to Beethoven, to Billy Joel, they all “copied” and created great musical works. Our music copyright laws ignore this centuries-old reality. #FreeKatyPerry
Just published Op-Ed in @washingtonpost online about the Katy Perry trial. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

#BlueAngels flying right above my office windows. My building is still rattling!
I’m bet #Naruto from the famed monkey selfie case will be pleased with this copyright development....
Our music copyright system is broken. For centuries, western music as an art form thrived and developed in part by musicians and composers “borrowing” from each other. Bach, Beethoven, and Billy Joel all did it. Our laws should embrace this artistic reality. #KatyPerry
Katy Perry’s hit “Dark Horse” infringed a Christian hip-hop artist’s song
