Shows #115, 116 and 117 — Jeremy Malcolm, Prof. Shubha Ghosh and Laura DeNardis — posted

I am pleased to post three more shows for the summer quarter. The first, Show #115, July 7, is my interview with Jeremy Malcolm of Consumers International. Jeremy has been at the forefront of the transparency battles involving the elusive Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (“ACTA”) and consumer protection issues generally. We had a wide ranging discussion involving ACTA, as well as the intellectual property climate in Malaysia, where Jeremy is located. It was a great discussion and I hope that you enjoy it.

The second show, Show #116, July 14, is my interview with Prof. Shubha Ghosh of the University of Wisconsin Law School. Shubha discussed an article that he will be presenting at Elon Law’s symposium on transparency and the Internet in October entitled Commercializing Data. Shubha’s work is impressive and I was thrilled to have him on the show to discuss the impact and complexity of data’s monetary value. We share similar interests and I hope that it comes through in the interview.

The third show, Show #117, July 21, is my interview with Laura DeNardis, Executive Director of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School and author of Protocol Politics: The Globalization of Internet Governance. Laura’s book is an important contribution to understanding the logistical challenges associated with increased penetration of Internet access into developing countries. In our discussion, we discussed a range of issues related to this problem, from the technical to the political, and I was very excited to have Laura on the show. I hope that you enjoy the interviews from a fine summer vacation location (or, if not on vacation, at least in comfort!)
