Is AI-generated music really so different from music created by humans? Kellogg Hansen's Josh Branson and George Mason Law School Professor Olufunmilayo Arewa join host Anant Raut to discuss the copyrightability of AI-generated music and the growing wave of copyright cases brought by artists, publishers, and record companies against generative AI companies.

The conversation then takes a more philosophical turn: how have humans created music throughout history? If human music is inspired by what came before, is AI training on the same material and generating its own all that different? And what, if anything, is lost when the machine takes our place in creation?

Antitrust birthed the arms race of name, image, and likeness money pouring into Division 1 athletics. Now college football has spiraled into a widening gap between haves and have nots, where NIL offers (supposedly distinct from pay-for-play) are driving athletes who have played professionally to try to return to college to play sports for a fifth year. Professor Michael McCann, professor at Harvard Law School and columnist for Sportico and Sports Illustrated, joins host Anant Raut and guest co-host Courtney Armour to discuss the flow of money into college athletics and what it means for amateurism in college sports.
