In this episode, Cathay Y. N. Smith, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Montana Blewett School of Law, discusses her new article "Weaponizing Copyright." Smith begins by explaining that "weaponizing" copyright is using it for non-copyright ends. In theory, copyright is supposed to be about ensuring that copyright owners reap the economic value of the works they own. But sometimes, copyright owners use their copyright to accomplish non-economic goals. Often, those goals are laudable, like punishing racist speech or removing revenge porn from the internet. But they can also be bad, especially when they involve the suppression of critical speech. Smith reflects on that tension and how it might be resolved, through the lens of many different examples.

Cathay Smith on Weaponizing Copyright

In this episode, Cathay Smith, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Montana Blewett School of Law, discusses her new article Political Fair Use. Professor Smith identifies an emerging tendency among courts to give special weight to political expression in cases involving copyright infringement and fair use, and she argues that this kind of special treatment has led to important departures from traditional fair use analysis and Supreme Court guidance. The article is forthcoming in the William &amp; Mary Law Review and is available on SSRN. Professor Smith is on Twitter at @CathaySmith.This episode was hosted by Saurabh Vishnubhakat, Professor in the School of Law and Professor in the Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&amp;M University. Professor Vishnubhakat is on Twitter at @emptydoors.

Cathay Smith on Political Fair Use

In this episode, Cathay Y. N. Smith, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Montana Blewett School of Law, discusses her article "Creative Destruction: Copyright's Fair Use Doctrine and the Moral Right of Integrity," which is published in the Pepperdine Law Review. Smith begins by explaining the origins of the moral right of integrity in the Berne Convention, and its introduction into United States copyright law via the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990. She identifies a tension between the right of integrity and the right of fair use. And she explains how that tension can be resolved, depending on how a particular work is used.
