Dialogue on justice sparked by art: "art commenting on legal scholarship that commented on copyright law’s regulation of protest art on public art.  …kaleidoscope of law & creative practice, ever shifting into new arrangements & each time, new angles, new depth." In @law-and-humanities.bsky.social 👇

Over the moon to see my paper with artist Travis De Vries has been published in @law-and-humanities.bsky.social. Our paper is framed through a series of conversations about art, law, and justice. You can read it here: doi.org/10.1080/1752...

I'm currently collaborating with tattooist Dr Adam McDade on a project that looks at copying and creativity in tattoo culture. Adam delivered a snapshot of our research last week, as part of a guest lecture to my IP law students. You can check it out here: youtu.be/fXpUDxOoqcI?...

Come listen to Dr Adam McDade on tattooist practices, authorship and copying norms. Tomorrow morning (23 May) 10am AEST. Online event. Register here today for the Zoom link: events.humanitix.com/creativity-c...

This was a brilliant talk by @drmarieip.bsky.social

"Abseiling lesbians! Queers in the classroom! Moral panic in the streets! & an act of oppression that inspired a generational riot." That's @royalcourt.bsky.social blurb for the musical 'After the Act' re s.28 LGA 1988; singing & dancing we cover @law-and-humanities.bsky.social: shorturl.at/ejIWc

Really enjoyed hearing about the dialogic process of collaboration b/w Travis De Vries & @drmarieip.bsky.social (Law, Literature & Humanities stream) - lots of inspiration for future art/law research! Thanks to @drfoxpopuli.bsky.social and @jgreenwoodreeves.bsky.social for convening #slsa2025

Brazilian judge orders Adele song be pulled globally over plagiarism claim

The real story here is the lost argument to have ‘trade marks’ appear as two words. Appeals to the Constitution, the vibe and even the Act were not enough! Lovely working with @drmarieip.bsky.social and Associate Professor Vicki Huang for this piece: theconversation.com/rayguns-clai...
