GP 220A - First Amendment Challenges

Host Gerald Everett Jones and his co-hosts Cheyenne Cockrell and Thomas Page have a roundtable discussion of “First Amendment Challenges.” How far can we really go? They cover questions such as:

Does it mean total freedom? What about "Fire!" in a crowded theater?
Is there a difference between gossip and slander? Libel?
Plagiarism? Fair use? How might satire and parody be an exception? Fan fi

ction?
What about PC labels?
Rights to privacy for the deceased?
What is Errors & Omissions insurance, and why might a creative person need it?
What is an entertainment attorney, and what about copyright protection?
What is the Digital Millenium Copyright Act

And, as ever, there's lots of advice on how to get published, including the support resources at our website getpublishedradio.com.

This episode airs on Hella Radio, KNNN-FM 87.7 Redding, Calif.

About me...

When I was in high school, my chemistry teacher approached me and asked with a sly grin, "You interested in mining?"
I told him absolutely not. I was going to be a writer.
Little did I suspect that he wanted to send me to a student conference on metallurgy where I could seek the fellowship of like-minded teens on a minimally supervised road-trip to the Big City.
Undeterred by my abrupt negative response, he grumbled, "Well, you're interested in mining your own business, aren't you?"
And he sent me anyway.
Now I realize I should've listened more carefully to everything he said.
