The Dublin to New York portal, a cool livestream installation where people can interact with each other, has shut down less than a week of its unveiling, mainly due to instances of inappropriate behaviour or lewd acts. One of the triggers for its failure was a tiktok influencer who flashed visitors, residents and citizens of Ireland through the portal. While being topless in public has been legal in New York since 1992, it’s considered indecent exposure in Ireland. As the law catches up with tech, some points for legislators to consider are: Are you considered topless in Dublin when you flash someone publicly from New York? Can people in Dublin file a criminal complaint? What jurisdiction applies? How do we protect people from these or other inappropriate occurrences? Other similar portals linking European cities have existed for years and have so far worked well… It's unfortunate that it's not the case here. https://lnkd.in/eiQHChWC #law #jurisdiction #legalissues

I am a fierce defender of the ABC, but as the saying goes, we criticise those we love the most, and this really is a terrible decision Richard Kingsmill, one of the most important and celebrated voices in the Australian music industry, is seemingly the victim of the public broadcaster’s desperate pivot towards a younger demographic. While seemingly progressive, the strategy is akin to chasing shadows, especially in an era where the very audiences they now chase are notoriously elusive and no longer tethered to radio as a medium. Sadly, I believe the decision underscores a fundamental misstep: sacrificing part of the foundation of Triple J and Double J in an effort to win with a fickle, digitally-native audience - listeners, more comfortable with streaming and social media, and bypassing traditional radio altogetherc rendering the move not just risky but potentially futile. What remains of the station's identity risks being diluted, if not lost, altogether. While adaptation and evolution are key to survival in today’s media landscape, it shouldn’t come at the expense of the station’s brand, its values, and its audience. In an attempt to stay relevant, the ABC may find itself in no-man's land – losing both its identity and failing to reach the intended new audience. What do they say about winning the battle but losing the war? Ok, therein end the morning rant. I will stop shaking my fist at the sky and step down from the soap box.

The Vibrancy Reforms are a clear statement of intent from the NSW Government that the night time economy matters. These reforms are a foundation which industry, Government, regulators and key stakeholders can all build upon. I'm delighted to see the Government stick to its election commitment and make the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner’s role a statutory appointment. This is a measure that will mean there’s a champion for the night time economy embedded into the Government so we can avoid ever going back to the devastation of lockout laws while maintaining public safety at all times. The night time economy regulatory landscape is a complex maze with duplication, inefficiencies and a lack of clarity. Nowhere is this more prevalent than with managing entertainment sound from licensed venues. A single regulator means venues can go on to diversify their offering without the ongoing challenges posed by a single vexatious complainant.

“I should be Employ’d in Greater things,” William Blake groaned in 1802 as he churned out hack work for a benefactor. Does this sound familiar? Who in advertising hasn’t worked on something that we all did simply because we needed to make ends meet not because we wanted to put the work in our book? Or how should we think about the disconnect between the realpolitik of lobbying and the idealism of marketing when talking about purpose? Does this defeat the notion of a purity test? It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t engage in what you feel is right (please by all means do it, make social impact) but maybe you shouldn’t impose purity tests or there is only one side to history on others who don’t share your beliefs. Or don’t have the luxury to afford them. We live in a complicated world, with a lot of compromises on the way through it. If you wanted purity overall would you have chosen advertising as a way to be pure? Here’s the article where the Blake quote comes from that gets into the long-standing fraught relationship between Art and Mammon. All views my own. All conclusions your own.

The surge in the universal appeal of various sectors of the continent's creative sector is one for the history books. The music industry, particularly the Afrobeats from the West and Amapiano from the South of Africa, have gained recognition worldwide. Artists like Burna Boy, CKay, and Wizkid are topping global charts. The vibrant and innovative designs of the fashion industry as well as the thrilling movies and series produced here, all contribute to the unparalleled success of the creative economy. In spite of some challenges, Africa is headed toward a bright and beautiful future. https://lnkd.in/g4__Ewcb

Fair or unfair? The evolution of IP rights goes hand in hand with the evolution of awareness about related ethical and moral issues. Any change in the reciprocity rule when paying royalties to authors and neighbouring rights holders will significantly disrupt the already complicated functioning system of CMOs. #neighbouringrights #ip #iplaw #performers

US Antitrust Law: Sherman Act, 1890 - Section 1 and 2 : § 1 of the Sherman Act states that contracts that limit trade are illegal, whereas § 2 states that every person who attempts to monopolize, or attempts to monopolize, any part of trade, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The US Government, and dozens of states, sued Live Nation Entertainment, a multinational entertainment company, in an antitrust suit Thursday, alleging they monopolized the live entertainment space, harming artists, venues, and concertgoers. The US Government alleges that Live Nation violated § 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, an 1890 US antitrust law that prescribes the rules of free competition and prohibits unfair monopolies. #competitionlaw #antitrustlaw https://lnkd.in/gt4Pxe4R
