Ep465 - Lawrence Lessig | Free Culture

Lawrence Lessig visits Google's New York office to discuss his book “Free Culture.”

Lawrence Lessig could be called a cultural environmentalist. One of America’s most original and influential public intellectuals, his focus is the social dimension of creativity, or how creative work builds on the past and how society encourages or inhibits that building with laws and technologies. In his two previous books, CODE and THE FUTURE OF IDEAS, Lessig concentrated on the destruction of much of the original promise of the Internet. In FREE CULTURE, he widens his focus to consider the diminishment of the larger public domain of ideas. In this powerful wake-up call he shows how short-sighted interests blind to the long-term damage they’re inflicting are poisoning the ecosystem that fosters innovation.

All creative works—books, movies, records, software, and so on—are a compromise between what can be imagined and what is possible. For more than two hundred years, laws in America have sought a balance between rewarding creativity and allowing the borrowing from which new creativity springs. The original term of copyright set by the First Congress in 1790 was 14 years, renewable once. Now it is closer to two hundred.

Lessig shows us that while new technologies always lead to new laws, never before have the big cultural monopolists used the fear created by new technologies, specifically the Internet, to shrink the public domain of ideas, even as the same corporations use the same technologies to control more and more what we can and can’t do with culture. As more and more culture becomes digitized, more and more becomes controllable, even as laws are being toughened at the behest of the big media groups. What’s at stake is our freedom—freedom to create, freedom to build, and ultimately, freedom to imagine.

Ep31 - Kelsey Grammer, Rachelle Lefevre, Russell Hornsby, and EP Danny Strong | Cast from FOX's 'Proven Innocent'

Kelsey Grammer (Frasier), Rachelle Lefevre (Under the Dome), Russell Hornsby (The Hate U Give), and Executive Producer Danny Strong (Empire) discuss their brand new show ""Proven Innocent"" which premiered on Friday, February 15, 2019 on FOX.  More info via: https://www.fox.com/proven-innocent/ About the show: "Proven Innocent" tells the emotional story of one woman's fight to prove the innocence of wrongfully convicted people. The legal drama follows an underdog criminal defense firm led by a fierce and uncompromising lawyer, Madeline Scott (Lefevre), who along with her brother Levi (Riley Smith) was wrongfully convicted in a sensational murder case that made them an infamous media obsession. Madeline runs the legal firm with her partner, Easy Boudreau (Hornsby), the very lawyer who helped set her free after 10 years in prison. While a hero and a victim to some, Madeline’s bold and bullish tactics earn her a number of enemies – especially Gore Bellows (Grammer), the prosecutor who initially put her away and still believes in her guilt. Their team also includes investigator Bodie Quick (Vincent Kartheiser) and communications director Violet Price (Nikki James), who runs a true crime podcast that follows each investigation.  Moderated by Malika Saada Saar.

Ep26 - Henry Golding and Jon M. Chu | Crazy Rich Asians

Talks at Google and the Asian Google Network welcomed star Henry Golding and director Jon M. Chu to Google San Francisco, to discuss their new film "Crazy Rich Asians." Moderated by Tiffany Siu. About the film: Based on the acclaimed worldwide bestseller by Kevin Kwan, CRAZY RICH ASIANS follows native New Yorker Rachel Chu (Constance Wu) as she accompanies her longtime boyfriend, Nick Young (Henry Golding) to his best friend’s wedding in Singapore.  Excited about visiting Asia for the first time but nervous about meeting Nick’s family, Rachel is unprepared to learn that Nick has neglected to mention a few key details about his life.  It turns out that he is not only the scion of one of the country’s wealthiest families, but also one of its most sought-after bachelors.  Being on Nick’s arm puts a target on Rachel’s back, with jealous socialites and, worse, Nick’s own disapproving mother (Michelle Yeoh) taking aim.  And it soon becomes clear that while money can’t buy love, it can definitely complicate things. Directed by Jon M. Chu (“Now You See Me 2”). Visit YouTube.com/TalksatGoogle to watch the video.
