A Tidal Shift for the Digital Economy?
A decade and a half since music industry titans like the rock group Metallica launched legal action to shut down the largest (unauthorized) distributor of recorded content, the ways that fans and audiophiles are able to access music and other cultural resources appear, once again, to be in flux. 2015 has already seen the headline grabbing launches of two new music streaming services backed by major players with deep pockets: Tidal, spearheaded by recording artist and serial entrepreneur Jay Z; and Apple Music, the revamped music service offered by the world’s most valuable company. These services are set to compete with the streaming music sector’s dominant player, Spotify, and a host of others and, in doing so, may serve as an indication of where the broader digital economy is heading as it continues to evolve.

| | | New Portraits: May Richard Prince Fair(ly) Use Your Picture?
The prince of appropriation strikes again! Visual artist Richard Prince caused a major uproar in the art world with his latest exhibition, New Portraits. The series of photographs, which features enlarged screenshots of Instagram posts made by different users, has been the object of controversy after it was reportedly found that Prince never asked for permission to use these pictures. Considering that one of these photographs recently sold for $90,000, New Portraits begs the question of whether Prince can argue fair use in this situation.

A Handcrafted Problem: Etsy's share price woes and IP infringement
June 24, 2015 by Jacquilynne Schlesier Etsy describes itself as a "marketplace where people around the world connect, both online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods." For a site based on creativity and uniqueness, they have a surprisingly long history of high profile disputes between Etsy sellers and intellectual property owners. Among a myriad of other incidents, sellers have reportedly had problems with FOX over ugly hats, with Taylor Swift over coffee mugs and pillows, and even with the general idea of upcycling adult clothing into children’s clothing.
