Spring held on for another day, and luckily I was able to go out for a decent run accompanied by talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/6)

First was a nice slate of talks at the Maastricht University Faculty of Law by Martijn Snoep (an enforcer's perspective on the green and digital transition), @kasnder (Ticketmaster, online bots, and the price of concert tickets), and Maria José Schmidt-Kessen (human rights and corporate sustainability due diligence for improving antitrust law) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vczQsxVQajA (2/6) #law #antitrust

Next was a fantastic pair of talks by Justine Haekens (analysis of Spotify playlist composition through the lens of copyright and competition law) and @JuanDGut (implementation of AI by Colombia's competition agency and IP office) at Maastricht University. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNiyQSdPysI (4/6) #law #Spotify #Colombia

Last was an excellent talk by @jtlg on generative AI and copyright at the Allen Institute for AI. Favorite quote: "It's not at all obvious that the incentives to create of the sort that copyright offers are the appropriate system of law to govern this new [technology]. It may be that what replaces copyright due to generative AI is as different from copyright as copyright was from the patronage system that came before it." Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toPhm4zBp00 (6/6) #GenerativeAI #copyright
