Work

Mainly, I am a professor at Columbia Law School - I am lucky to have such a fun job and great colleagues. I teach copyright and communications.

In some of my spare time, I am the chair of media reform organization Free Press, and I write for Slate magazine (some here), on law, media, culture, travel, and dumplings. I have also written for some other publications as a pure freelancer, including the New Yorker, the New York Times, Washington Post Weekend, and Forbes, but writing for Slate is the most fun.

Finally, I'm involved in various other projects, usually related to alternative channels of content distribution. Many are run through the Columbia Program on Law & Technology. One example is Project Posner, another is AltLaw, and another is Keep Your Copyrights.

My first book was "Who Controls the Internet" (with Jack Goldsmith).  I'm writing a new book on the long patterns of media centralization and decentralization; the publisher is Knopf / Random House.

Four topics are:

• Network neutrality is somehow what I end up spending most of my time on.
  
  
• The history and structure of the media and communications industries (the book I'm working on now).
  
  
• International problems faced by the Internet (see "Who Controls the Internet").
  
  
• Copyright and innovation policy ("Copyright's Communications Policy.")
