A look to the past on how we treated our animals from not noticing them, to they make work simpler for us, to the family pet and how our treatment of animals will tell us how we will treat robots in our future.

I found this interesting. She goes into the history of animals in human society and how we treated them. There is humor here and truth in what she says. She says that how we have treated animals in the past is the steppingstone to how we will treat robots in our future. We put human characteristics on animals, and we are starting to do it with some robots that are in our lives. As robots become more prevalent the question is how much humanness will we give them? I enjoyed how she says non-scientists use Isaac Asimov's ROBOTS as a starting point. She points out that robots are not human, and humans are programming robots. I liked that she admits that sometimes she just has to walk away.

I liked how she look at the history of humans and animals with a little robot thrown in, then looks at present day and how animals went from work to companion, then looks at the future where there are more robots. She asks questions about laws and responsibility when things go wrong with a robot and a human or property is damaged. She makes good points.

This is easy to read. I found humor in it but also important ideas we need to think of as robots become more present in our workplace and homes.

Mainly collecting/updating work on “negative spaces” in IP, including my own. Unprotected subject matter: French chefs’ recipes; cocktails; medical innovations by doctors, including devices and procedures. Counterculture: tattoos, graffiti, roller derby. Other content creators who work in copyrightable media but for various reasons can’t/don’t make copyright work for them: fanworks, pornography online, Nollywood. Chris Sprigman ends with a discussion of fashion and comedy, and a call for IP lawyers to become innovation lawyers. Matthew Schruers on cocktails is the topic I hadn’t seen before. Schruers traces cocktails’ origins in medical treatments (where bitters come from), then asks where innovation comes from since recipes generally can’t be protected by copyright, trademark, or patent. In part, he suggests, new recipes are invented as part of performances by bartenders; others are promoted by brands to sell their liquor, as “disruptive” tech innovators often provide a complementary good for free to increase demand. I loved the complaint of one industry player: “brand ambassadors are ruining it … In no other creative field do you find people who are so easily able to insert themselves into the scene.” I have some bad news, buddy. As Schruers points out, “this is not a complaint about piracy; it is about competition.” Innovation occurs without legal protection because there are external motivations to innovate.… (meer)
