ANNE HIARING HOCKING: Thank you so much, and thank you for attending-- those of you in person and those of you listening to our program by webinar. It's absolutely personally my favorite thing to do.

Recorded on: Jul. 11, 2013

A. THOMPSON BAYLISS: So name that judge who said the following, "I'm just going to confess out loud that I have reached the point in my career of what I will call 'disclosure fatigue.' That is the struggle that the court goes through to try to figure out what information, about a target's financial advisor's analysis, needs to be disclosed to stockholders." Well everybody's voting.

Transcripts  Transcripts    

Recorded on: Jul. 10, 2013

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: We begin with what I think is the two best presenters on the topic of basic principles of copyright law. They have worked very hard to present for you a way by which you can be meaningfully introduced to the substantive topic, so that when you finish this time with them together, you will have a much greater depth of understanding. Even if you are a copyright expert, they will run you over the cavalettis, making you think again ...

Fair Use & Permissions

Transcripts  Transcripts    

Recorded on: Jul. 10, 2013

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: Our next presentation is one that is also a hard slot to fill for the reason that some would say the fair use doctrine is a circumstance when the minnow has swallowed the whale. Fair use began a long time ago, and Dale will tell you more. I will stay away from it, even though I'm itching to do that because it's such an interesting topic. But when you have someone who is as generous with their time as Dale is being today, I do ...

This is my favorite song lyric-- and it's Anne's suggestion-- "every breath you take, I'll be watching you."

THEODORE O. ROGERS, JR: I'd clink a glass but it doesn't work on the paper cup, so we'll just-- whoops there it goes. Anne's going to introduce our next distinguished panel, but I did want to note that one of the challenges of holding this within the 10 days at the end of the Supreme Court's term is that there can be breaking news.
