Prompt and Circumstance - DTNS 4463

We analyze the US Copyright Office’s rationale for not copyrighting works created from the Midjourney text to image generator. Plus we examine Canada’s Bill C-18 that would enact legislation compelling big tech companies to pay news publishers for linking to their stories. And we discuss Towns, a protocol and a web-based chat app designed to facilitate self-owned, self-governed online communities from the person that brought us Meerkat.

Starring Tom Merritt, Sarah Lane, Justin Robert Young, Roger Chang, Joe.
