Press Here: In which I appear on NBC’s new tech talk show
On Thursday, I appeared on the latest episode of NBC 11 new tech talk show, “Press Here.” Ex-merc colleague Jon Fortt was also on the media panel for the show which examined the persistent problems with digital copyright issues.
If you’re using that old-fashioned TV thing in your living room, you can catch it on NBC 11 on Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
Here’s the description for the episode:
Copyright or Wrong?
Every company, every person has a right to protect intellectual property. However, a number of famous cases raise the specter that American copyright law may at times do more to stifle innovation than protect ideas.
Famed intellectual rights lawyer Fred Von Lohman talks about the chilling effect of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Mike Malcolm, CEO of Kaleidescape, talks about taking on Hollywood - and winning.
They’re joined by reporters Jon Fortt of FORTUNE and Chris O’Brien of the San Jose Mercury News.
I put the first segment above. The second and third segment can be found here.
