In this episode Owen Kelly continues a discussion begun last month. He begins by quoting a comment that ARlene Goldbard made after the last episode, and addressing the point she made.

He goes on to look at the relationship between copyright and branding, and at two recent events in which large corporations have attempted to extend the use of trademarks in predatory ways. He looks at Starbucks\u2019 attempts to silence their union and at easyGroup, \u201cSir Stelios Haji-Ioannou\u2019s private investment company\u201d and their successful attempt to shut down an indie band who have, for the last eight years, called themselves Easy Life.

Not easyLife (as in easyJet), you may note, but that traditional English expression \u201cEasy Life\u201d, as in \u201cshe\u2019s opted for the easy life now\u201d.
