Sony's failed attempt to stop piracy.

About this episode

The episode discusses Sony's failed lawsuit against piracy and its implications for copyright law, alongside the EU's AI strategies and new cybersecurity regulations.

This week, Dave and Ben sit down to discuss how Sony's failed lawsuit could have major impacts on other copyright lawsuits alongside how the EU's AI approach might be grounded in nuclear deterrence strategies. Additionally, our team sits down with Dr. Liz James, a managing security consultant at the NCC Group to discuss the EU's new cybersecurity regulations that were instituted as a part of new vehicle emission regulations. While this show covers legal topics, and Ben is a lawyer, the views expressed do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the topics we cover, please contact your attorney.
