Viacom and YouTube lawyers and others are in violent agreement: intellectual property won't kill social media
There has been a good deal of violent agreement thus far here at Supernova, but I was pretty surprised at the degree of it we had on the panel I moderated this morning, captioned Will Intellectual Property Kill Social Media? The answer was resoundingly "no," and the converse also held true: social media won't kill IP, either.

The answer was resoundingly "no," and the converse also held true: social media won't kill IP, either. Instead, they'll find a way to productively co-exist, or so we all seemed to think. In addition to me, "we all" consisted of:
- EFF Senior Intellectual Property Attorney Fred von Lohmann
- Dabble Founder and CTO Mary Hodder
- Viacom Senior Vice President and General Counsel Mark Morril
- YouTube General Counsel Zahavah Levine
- Morgan Lewis IP partner Ron Dreben
