Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody - The True Story Of Lies And Libel In Dominion V. Fox

by Ian Rosenberg

~~24,01€~~ 21,61€ 10% OFF

 The definitive story of Dominion v. Fox, the battle over election lies that changed the future of democracy Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News Network is the watershed media case of the century. After an onslaught of attacks by several Fox News hosts and guests insisting that Dominion’s voting machines were rigged to steal the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, the previously little-known voting technology company decided to fight back. Over the next two years, their libel litigation laid bare the inner workings of the seemingly unassailable Fox Corporation and the thoughts of the media conglomerate’s most high-profile stars, guests, and executives. On the morning the trial was set to begin, the parties reached an unprecedented settlement of $787.5 million. The media lamented that secrets from Fox’s top talent and owners would never come to light, but now the full, shocking truth has finally been revealed. Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody exposes the true story of the election lies that shook Fox News and the nation. Media lawyer and author Ian Rosenberg transforms thousands of pages of legal documents into a compelling behind-the-scenes narrative. He presents the saga as a riveting three act drama that answers the vital questions: why Fox News broadcasted flagrantly false claims about election fraud; what the legal action uncovered about Fox’s power structure and the actual malice standard; and how the aftermath will fundamentally impact the future of libel law, the media, and our democracy. Terrible Stuff Damaging Everybody provides a clear-eyed, expert analysis of this history-making lawsuit, and what it means for our country today.

No Liberty To Libel - The Constitutional Case Against New York Times V. Sullivan

by Carson Holloway

~~31,68€~~ 28,51€ 10% OFF

 In 1964 the Supreme Court radically altered its interpretation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In the famed libel case, New York Times v. Sullivan, the Court ruled that public officials claiming to be victims of defamation would be held to a higher standard than ordinary citizens. They must prove not only that they were victims of defamatory falsehood, but also that their defamers acted with “actual malice”: knowledge that their claim was false, or at least a reckless disregard for its truth or falsity. As a result of this ruling, newspapers cannot now be easily held liable for false defamatory statements about politicians, celebrities, or other public figures. Though many have heralded Sullivan as a landmark ruling in defense of First Amendment freedoms, in No Liberty to Libel, Carson Holloway argues that the Supreme Court erred dangerously in its interpretation of the Constitution. Holloway contends that the Court should revisit and reject the Sullivan doctrine.  Holloway demonstrates that the Sullivan doctrine’s two-tier system of libel law—with one standard for ordinary persons and another for the prominent—has no roots in the original understanding of the freedom of the press, or in the tradition of American law that prevailed for most of our history. This tradition held more simply and consistently that libel was an exercise not of liberty but of license, and hence outside the scope of the freedom of the press.  A Supreme Court committed to interpreting the Constitution faithfully—that is, according to its text, original meaning, and historical understanding— must reject New York Times v. Sullivan as a product of judicial policymaking untethered to the real meaning of the First Amendment.

Artificial Intelligence - Legal Issues, Policy, And Practical Strategies

~~198,68€~~ 178,81€ 10% OFF

 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming our world at a breakneck pace, including the practice of law. The recent rapid development of generative AI, which produces new outputs based on the data it has been trained on and prompts from users, has been heralded as a revolutionary intellectual and technological development. AI has the potential to improve many aspects of the practice of law, including increasing the speed at which many tasks can be done, boosting productivity, and reducing the amount of time spent on routine tasks. In addition, AI can help to solve one of the most pressing problems facing our legal system - the large number of people who are not able to afford a lawyer and must try to navigate the legal system on their own.There also are significant challenges with the use of AI in the legal profession, including AI’s yet undetermined accuracy in drafting legal documents; its potential to undermine confidentiality, privacy and security; the capacity to introduce and perpetuate bias; and its impact on the structure of law firms. Additional concerns include the impact of AI on intellectual property rights; how law schools can best prepare students for this new AI-enabled future; and whether advances in AI will meaningfully reduce the number of attorneys that are needed to serve their clients. Governments and private organizations are grappling with how to develop laws, regulations and rules that will govern the use and functionality of AI systems.In order to address these issues, this book contains reflections and chapters by a group of more than 40 preeminent AI and legal experts from in-house legal departments; private practice; non-profits; academia; government, and the judiciary. The book covers a wide range of important topics concerning AI and the law, and provides practical advice to attorneys on how to navigate these complex and rapidly evolving issues. The topics include:A primer on key AI concepts<ul><li>Overarching legal issues, including AI governance and ethics</li><li>AI and law practice management, including the use of digital assistants, AI use cases for lawyers, and paths to the responsible use of AI by lawyers</li><li>AI and the courts and how AI can be used to close the justice gap</li><li>Intellectual property issues, as well as issues at the intersection of AI and the Internet of Things (IoT)</li><li>The impact of AI on employment law and the workplace</li><li>Specific types of AI risks, including cybersecurity, privacy, and national security</li><li>AI and the law from the perspective of practitioners in Europe</li><li>The long-term future of AI.</li></ul>

Structure Of Ideas - Mapping A New Theory Of Free Expression In The Ai Era

by Jared Schroeder

~~30,46€~~ 27,41€ 10% OFF

 In his historic 1919 dissent, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes named, and thus catalyzed the creation of, the marketplace of ideas. This conceptual space has, ever since, been used to give shape to American constitutional notions of the freedom of expression. It has also eluded clear definition, as jurists and scholars have contested its meaning for more than a century. In The Structure of Ideas, Jared Schroeder takes on the task of mapping the various iterations of the marketplace, from its early foundations in Enlightenment beliefs in universal truths and rational actors, to its increasingly expansive parameters for protecting expression in the arenas of commercial, corporate, and online speech. Schroeder contends that in today''s information landscape, marked by the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence, the marketplace is failing to provide a space where truths succeed and falsity fails. AI and networked technologies have thoroughly overpowered all traditional pictures of the marketplace up to now. Schroeder proposes various theoretical interventions that would revise the marketplace for the current moment, and concludes by describing a new space built around algorithms, AI, and virtual communication.

Copaganda - How Police And The Media Manipulate Our News

by Alec Karakatsanis

~~42,39€~~ 38,15€ 10% OFF

 From a prizewinning civil rights lawyer comes a powerful warning about how the media manipulates public perception, fueling fear and inequality, while distracting us from what truly matters" Alec Karakatsanis exposes our criminal injustice system for what it is: a bureaucracy of punishment, propped up by a biased media machine that feeds mass incarceration. After Copaganda, you’ll never read the news the same way again." —Michelle Alexander, author of The New Jim Crow In this groundbreaking expose, essential for understanding the rising authoritarian mindset, award-winning civil rights lawyer Alec Karakatsanis introduces the concept of "Copaganda." He defines Copaganda as a special kind of propaganda employed by police, prosecutors, and news media that stokes fear of police-recorded crime and distorts society’s responses to it. Every day, mass media manipulates our perception of what keeps us safe and contributes to a culture fearful of poor people, strangers, immigrants, unhoused people, and people of color. The result is more and more authoritarian state repression, more inequality, and huge profits for the massive public and private punishment bureaucracy. For readers of Naomi Klein and Noam Chomsky, Copaganda documents how modern news coverage fuels insecurity against these groups and shifts our focus away from the policies that would help us improve people’s lives—things like affordable housing, adequate healthcare, early childhood education, and climate-friendly city planning. These false narratives in turn fuel surveillance, punishment, inequality, injustice, and mass incarceration. Copaganda is often hidden in plain sight, such as: <ul> <li>When your local TV station obsessively focuses on shoplifting by poor people while ignoring crimes of wage theft, tax evasion, and environmental pollution </li><li>When you hear on your daily podcast that there is a "shortage" of prison guards rather than too many people in prison </li><li>When your newspaper quotes an "expert" saying that more money for police and prisons is the answer to violence despite scientific evidence to the contrary</li></ul> Recognized by Teen Vogue as "one of the most prominent voices" on the criminal legal system, Karakatsanis brings his sharp legal expertise, trenchant political analysis, and humorous storytelling to drastically alter the way we consume information, while offering a hopeful path forward. One towards a healed humanity—and media system—with a vested interest in public safety and equality.

Morals Versus Art - Enriched Edition.

by Anthony Comstock

0,99€ + 10% CARD

 In "Morals Versus Art," Anthony Comstock embarks on a provocative exploration of the complicated interplay between artistic expression and moral accountability. Written at the turn of the 20th century, the work is characterized by a polemical style that fuses detailed analysis with passionate rhetoric, reflecting the social tensions of the Progressive Era. Comstock delves into various forms of art, scrutinizing their ethical implications and the extent to which they may corrupt societal values, ultimately advocating for a moral high ground in cultural production. His arguments resonate with the growing anxieties surrounding art's role in society, a theme that foreshadows many contemporary debates between freedom of expression and community standards. Comstock, an influential figure in American social reform, is perhaps best known for his vigorous campaigns against obscenity and his role in founding the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. His personal convictions, deeply rooted in his staunchly moralistic upbringing and faith, illuminate the motivations behind this work, which seeks to defend what he considers the sanctity of moral standards from the perceived licentiousness of art. "Morals Versus Art" is recommended for readers drawn to the intersections of art, morality, and social critique.

Crimesploitation - Crime, Punishment, And Pleasure On Reality Television

by Daniel Lachance e Paul Kaplan

25,16€ + 10% CARD

 "Due to the graphic nature of this program, viewer discretion is advised." Most of us have encountered this warning while watching television at some point. It is typically attached to a brand of reality crime TV that Paul Kaplan and Daniel LaChance call "crimesploitation": spectacles designed to entertain mass audiences by exhibiting "real" criminal behavior and its consequences. This book examines their enduring popularity in American culture. Analyzing the structure and content of several popular crimesploitation shows, including Cops, Dog: The Bounty Hunter, and To Catch a Predator, as well as newer examples like Making a Murderer and Don''t F**K with Cats, Kaplan and LaChance highlight the troubling nature of the genre: though it presents itself as ethical and righteous, its entertainment value hinges upon suffering. Viewers can imagine themselves as deviant and ungovernable like the criminals in the show, thereby escaping a law-abiding lifestyle. Alternatively, they can identify with law enforcement officials, exercising violence, control, and "justice" on criminal others. Crimesploitation offers a sobering look at the depictions of criminals, policing, and punishment in modern America.

Privacy In The New Media Age

by Jon L. Mills

22,51€ + 10% CARD

 Balancing personal dignity and first amendment concerns has become increasingly challenging in the new media age, when, for example, bloggers have no editors and perhaps no moral restraints. Unlimited and unrestricted internet speech has left thousands of victims in its wake, most of them silenced after the media cycle moves on. While the history of free speech and press has noble origins rooted in democratic theory, how does society protect those who are harassed, stalked, and misrepresented online while maintaining a free society?Jon Mills, one of the nation’s top privacy experts and advocates, maps out this complex problem. He discusses the need for forethought and creative remedies, looking at solutions already implemented by the European Union and comparing them to the obsolete privacy laws still extant in the United States. In his search for solutions, Mills closely examines an array of cases, some of them immediately recognizable because of their notoriety and extensive media coverage. In a context of almost instantaneous global communications, where technology moves faster than the law, Mills traces the sharp edge between freedom of expression and the individual dignity that privacy preserves.

Police Visibility - Privacy, Surveillance, And The False Promise Of Body-Worn Cameras

by Bryce Clayton Newell

33,13€ + 10% CARD

 Police Visibility presents empirically grounded research into how police officers experience and manage the information politics of surveillance and visibility generated by the introduction of body cameras into their daily routines and the increasingly common experience of being recorded by civilian bystanders. Newell elucidates how these activities intersect with privacy, free speech, and access to information law and argues that rather than being emancipatory systems of police oversight, body-worn cameras are an evolution in police image work and state surveillance expansion. Throughout the book, he catalogs how surveillance generates information, the control of which creates and facilitates power and potentially fuels state domination. The antidote, he argues, is robust information law and policy that puts the power to monitor and regulate the police squarely in the hands of citizens.

by Paul J. Heald

23,84€ + 10% CARD

 In Copy This Book!, Paul J. Heald draws on a vast knowledge of copyright scholarship and a deep sense of irony to explain what''s gone wrong with copyright in the twenty-first century. Distilling extensive empirical data to clearly show the implications of copyright laws and doctrine for public welfare, he illustrates his findings with lighthearted references to familiar (and obscure) works and their creators (and sometimes their creators'' oddball relations). Among the questions he tackles: How does copyright deter composers from writing new songs? Why are so many famous photographs unprotected orphans, and how does Getty Images get away with licensing them? What can the use of music in movies tell us about the proper length of the copyright term? How do publishers get away with claiming rights in public domain works and extracting unmerited royalties from the public? Heald translates piles of data, complex laws, and mysterious economics, equipping readers with the tools for judging past and future copyright law.

Pregnant With The Stars - Watching And Wanting The Celebrity Baby Bump

by Renée Ann Cramer

30,46€ + 10% CARD

 "Check out that baby bump!" Online and print magazines, television shows, and personal blogs are awash with gossip and speculation about pregnant celebrities. What drives our cultural obsession with celebrity baby bumps? Pregnant with the Stars examines the American fascination with, and judgment of, celebrity pregnancy, and exposes how our seemingly innocent interest in "baby bumps" actually reinforces troubling standards about femininity, race, and class, while increasing the surveillance and regulation of all women in our society. This book charts how the American understanding of pregnancy has evolved by examining pop culture coverage of the pregnant celebrity body. Investigating and comparing the media coverage of pregnant celebrities, including Jennifer Garner, Angelina Jolie, Beyoncé Knowles, Kristen Bell, M.I.A., Jodie Foster, and Mila Kunis, Renée Cramer shows us how women are categorized and defined by their pregnancies. Their stories provide a paparazzi-sized lens through which we can interpret a complex set of social and legal regulations of pregnant women.Cramer exposes how cultural ideas like the "rockin'' post-baby body" are not only unattainable; they are a means of social control. Combining cultural and legal analysis, Pregnant with the Stars uncovers a world where pregnant celebrities are governed and controlled alongside the recent, and troubling, proliferation of restrictive laws aimed at women in the realm of reproductive justice and freedom. Cramer asks each reader and cultural consumer to recognize that the seeing, judging, and discussion of the "baby bump" isn''t merely frivolous celebrity gossip—it is an act of surveillance, commodification, and control.
