You may have noticed a “Resources” button now added to the top menu. It itself divides into a series of subsections: Copyright & IP; Freedom of Speech & Expression; Privacy & Social Issues; Web & Online Content; International; & Technology & Hardware. There is also a link to Electronic Reserve Materials available to students in the class.

Under the main six headings you will find videos of relevance to different aspects of the course. Some/many of the videos have been mentioned in the class. Hopefully you will find all the materials helpful, but two absolutely must-sees are Bruce Springsteen’s Keynote at SXSW 2012 and Lawrence Lessig’s Lecture on “Aaron’s Law’s: Law and Justice in a Digital Age”. Both can be found under the subheading of “Freedom of Speech & Expression”.

Arising out of a lengthy and interesting discussion this week in Law 449C Media and Entertainment Law, am adding two videos to the Resources Page. They are: 1. A lecture by Joseph Reagle of Northeastern titled “Free as in Sexist? The Gender Gap in Free Culture”; & 2. Video of the March 3, 2013 “Location Tracking and Biometrics Conference” from Yale Law School; all under the “Privacy & Social Issues” subheading.

Both videos are equally relevant to Law450. We had some discussion of the issue of sexism in and around games during our most recent class. Privacy is a main topic of the upcoming one. Location tracking is increasingly a part of video gaming. Inevitably there will be more future “real world” location tracked/cloud related gaming models like “Ingress”. Concerns and questions will, equally inevitably, accompany them.
