How Copyright Law Is Being Used to Squelch Speech

This week I’m joined by Puck’s Eriq Gardner to discuss his fascinating piece on Warner Bros.’ efforts to keep a lid on spoilers for their new show, Lanterns, including some potential abuse of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act’s ability to remove infringing content from the internet. We discussed what’s happening and how it could reflect a broader effort to stifle speech in contexts other than spoiler warnings. You can read Eriq’s reporting on the topic here. And if you enjoyed this episode, make sure to share it with a friend!
