  Episode #502

  The Digital Fourth Amendment with Orin Kerr

  May 30, 20251h 9mS1

  <p>The Cyberlaw Podcast is back from hiatus – briefly!  I've used the hiatus well, skiing the Canadian Ski Marathon, trekking through Patagonia, and having a heart valve repaired (all good now!). So when I saw (and disagreed with ) Orin Kerr's new book, I figured it was time for episode 502 of the Cyberlaw Podcast.  Orin and I spend the episode digging into his book, The Digital Fourth Amendment: Privacy and Policing in Our Online World.</p> <p>The book is part theory, part casebook, part policy roadmap—and somehow still manages to be readable, even for non-lawyers. Orin's goal? To make sense o...

  Episode #501

  World on the Brink with Dmitri Alperovitch

  Apr 22, 202450 minS0

  <p>Okay, yes, I promised to take a hiatus after episode 500. Yet here it is a week later, and I'm releasing episode 501. Here's my excuse. I read and liked Dmitri Alperovitch's book, "World on the Brink: How America Can Beat China in the Race for the 21st Century."  I told him I wanted to do an interview about it. Then the interview got pushed into late April because that's when the book is actually coming out.</p> <p>So sue me. I'm back on hiatus.</p> <p>The conversation  in the episode begins with Dmitri's background in cybersecurity and geopolitics, be...

  Episode #500

  Who's the Bigger Cybersecurity Risk – Microsoft or Open Source?

  Apr 11, 20241h 11mS0

  <p >There's a whiff of Auld Lang Syne about episode 500 of the Cyberlaw Podcast, since after this it will be going on hiatus for some time and maybe forever. (Okay, there will be an interview with Dmitri Alperovich about his forthcoming book, but the news commentary is done for now.) Perhaps it's appropriate, then, for our two lead stories to revive a theme from the 90s – who's better, Microsoft or Linux? Sadly for both, the current debate is over who's worse, at least for cybersecurity.</p> <p > </p> <p >Microsoft's sins against cybersecurity are laid bare in a report of the...

  Taking AI Existential Risk Seriously

  Apr 2, 20241h 2mS0

  <p >This episode is notable not just for cyberlaw commentary, but for its imminent disappearance from these pages and from podcast playlists everywhere.  Having promised to take stock of the podcast when it reached episode 500, I've decided that I, the podcast, and the listeners all deserve a break.  So I'll be taking one after the next episode.  No final decisions have been made, so don't delete your subscription, but don't expect a new episode any time soon.  It's been a great run, from the dawn of the podcast age, through the ad-fueled podcast boom, which I manfully resisted, to the mark...

  The Fourth Antitrust Shoe Drops, on Apple This Time

  Mar 26, 202446 minS0

  <p >The Biden administration has been aggressively pursuing antitrust cases against Silicon Valley giants like Amazon, Google, and Facebook. This week it was Apple's turn. The Justice Department (joined by several state AGs)  filed a gracefully written complaint accusing Apple of improperly monopolizing the market for "performance smartphones." The market definition will be a weakness for the government throughout the case, but the complaint does a good job of identifying ways in which Apple has built a moat around its business without an obvious benefit for its customers.  The complaint focuses on Apple's discouraging of multipurpose apps and cloud streaming ga...
