Techdirt Podcast Episode 64: Apple, The FBI & You

from the encryption-on-the-line dept

Tue, Mar 8th 2016 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

I don't think I need to reiterate how important the battle over the future of encryption is. It's not new, but rather the latest clash in a fight that has been raging for years, and the high-profile example of the San Bernardino attacker's iPhone has cast a spotlight on it. This week, we're joined by longtime Techdirt friend Marvin Ammori to dig into the details of this issue, its potential consequences, and its context in the history of encryption.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 63: Hacking The Patent System

Patents

from the don't-wait,-innovate dept

Tue, Mar 1st 2016 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

We all know the patent system is riddled with problems, and badly in need of reform. But reform comes slowly — really, really slowly. So some tech companies have been doing what they do best: innovate. They are finding ways to get around the biggest problems of the patent system without waiting on go-nowhere legislative reform efforts. This week we're joined by Julie Samuels, President of the Board at Engine, to discuss the innovation-based approach to navigating the patent system and changing patent culture with a focus on a new paper from Engine and EFF on hacking the patent system.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 62: The Best/Worst Time To Be A Content Creator

Culture

from the a-tale-of-two-narratives dept

Tue, Feb 23rd 2016 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

There's something notable and odd about the conversation around content creation in the digital age: a stark divide between the camp that believes the sky is falling, and the camp that believes things are better than they've ever been. This week, we discuss the question of which narrative is correct... or is it neither? Or both?

Culture

from the the-interview-continues dept

Tue, Feb 16th 2016 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

Last week, we shared the first half of Mike's interview with Barry Eisler at the Commonwealth Club of California. This week, we've got the second half of that discussion, which pivots from national security and the surveillance state to Barry's novels, his experiences with publishing, and the time he met Keanu Reeves.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 60: Barry Eisler On Truth, Fiction And The Surveillance State (Part One)

Say That Again

from the which-one-is-stranger dept

Tue, Feb 9th 2016 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

Those of you who've heard our previous episodes with Barry Eisler know that he has a unique insight into many of the topics we discuss here at Techdirt, stemming from the wide variety of perspectives he's had in his past: as an operative for the CIA, as a tech industry lawyer, and now as a bestselling author (his new book, The God's Eye View, explores a plausible future inspired by the Snowden revelations). Recently, Mike conducted an interview with Barry at the Commonwealth Club of California, and on this week's podcast we've got the first half of that interview, with a fascinating discussion about the truth (and fiction) of the modern surveillance state.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 59: Does The Internet Create More 'Winner Take All' Companies?

Innovation

from the and-is-that-a-problem? dept

Tue, Feb 2nd 2016 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

The digital world is increasingly giving rise to "winner take all" industries, where a market is all but dominated by one company and, sometimes, a single smaller competitor. Since innovation is so often driven by competition and hindered by monopolies, this is a worrying trend — but its true extent, and its implications, are hardly clear. This week, we discuss various winner take all situations and what they mean for the future of innovation.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 58: Just How Bad Is The TPP?

Techdirt

from the bad-or-worst? dept

Tue, Jan 26th 2016 12:40pm — Leigh Beadon

There are lots of criticisms of free trade agreements, especially the fact that they go far beyond "free trade" — but the Trans-Pacific Partnership truly takes the cake. This week, we're joined by Maira Sutton, the EFF's Global Policy Analyst, to discuss the many problems with the TPP. Tellingly, this episode is nearly twice as long as usual.

After a few weeks off for the holidays, we're back! And as anyone on the internet can't ignore, CES 2016 has just wrapped up. Our own Mike Masnick was there, and today he's joined by journalist and long-time CES veteran Rob Pegoraro for a post-mortem of the event and this year's crop of new products.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 55: How Much Surveillance Is Acceptable?

Privacy

from the where's-the-line dept

Tue, Dec 22nd 2015 12:35pm — Leigh Beadon

Welcome to the last podcast episode of 2015! For the whole year (and since long before that) Techdirt has been speaking out against surveillance and government invasion of privacy, to the point where it might seem like we give no consideration to the legitimacy of any kind of surveillance. But that's not necessarily true, so this week we're approaching things from the other side and discussing the limits of reasonable and acceptable surveillance.

Techdirt Podcast Episode 54: It Ain't Easy To Give Away $45 Billion

Surprises

from the the-mechanics-of-philanthropy dept

Tue, Dec 15th 2015 12:45pm — Leigh Beadon

There's been a lot of back-and-forth recently over Mark Zuckerberg's announcement of the Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, combining widespread praise with a lot of disappointment in the details and the fact that he isn't really "giving away" $45 billion. There's a lot to be said on both sides of this question, and this week we're discussing the new initiative and the wide variety of reactions to it.
