Patent Politics, Internet Governance -- Talking Tech w/ Shobita Parthasarathy, CIMA, Article 19

Host Brian Wesolowski sits down with author and professor Shobita Parthasarathy about intellectual property. She breaks down how different approaches to patents in the United States and Europe can lead to very different policy outcomes, especially around controversial issues such as patenting life forms. Then Brian brings in a crowd – Daniel O'Maley of the Center for International Media Assistance, as well as Corinne Cath, Mehwish Ansari, & Niels ten Oever of Article 19 – to chat about why global media development professionals should be engaging in the many internet governance bodies. Think about it – if you care about a vibrant media sector in developing nations, don't you want to make sure you have a voice in how the the internet functions?
