Congrats to @justtreatment.org and Right to Breathe on getting the price of a lifesaving medicine to drop from $360,000 a year to $6,375 a year. This will give children with cystic fibrosis longer, healthier lives. @medslawpolicy.bsky.social 's take is here: medicineslawandpolicy.org/2025/10/gene...

Collection society in Chile proposes new right in AI output.
One observer: "I guess as long as CMOs can take a 20-30% cut, they'd licence children's tears :) "

Sean Flynn speaking for user rights at the WIPO GA discussion of the SCCR work program. Highlighted lack of census over fixation and post fixation rights for mere broadcasting, and not giving broadcasters more rights than copyright holders (in terms of exceptions).

Some more support for WIPO doing work on the artists resale right. Something that KEI has endorsed as it relates to physical works of art.

Trump is faking his way through the presidency the way he has faked his way through his entire life: responding to each moment with a bunch of half-coherent blather that is transformed by an army of sycophants into a plan. Blustery logorrhea from a rich dandy with the knowledge of a ninth-grader.

We just watched Mountainhead on MAX.
Not the easiest film to follow, but it’s exactly about this subject matter:
AI pushing RW authoritarianism, creating chaos, and starting wars.
This dystopian “future” is already here, happening in real life in real time, and it’s frighteningly easy.
