Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Q: What are the defenses to copyright infringement and how do they interact with free speech under Article 10 ECHR?

She discusses statutory limitations and fair-dealing exceptions, noting that many cases fall outside these exceptions; free speech remains important but must be weighed against property rights, with case law like Ashdown v Telegraph illustrating when free speech can withstand copyright claims.

Q: How does Numerous Clauses apply to copyright, especially regarding the seven statutory categories of protectable works?

She explains Numerous Clauses as a constraint on adding new, non-listed subject matters; copyright remains within a closed list of seven categories, with room to evolve through incremental development and careful analogies, not by broad expansion.

Q: Do you want to begin by explaining where we have currently placed copyrights within property theory, and what you argue should be different about its current position?

Poorna argues that copyright should be seen through the lens of property theory, using the three-part triangle of thingness (normative subject matter, separability, form) to align copyright with tangible property in a nuanced way, rather than forcing it into a siloed 'intangible' category.

Nabil Khabirpour on Law and Academia, Access to Justice, European Identity and Religion in Society | Beyond Doctrine Ep. 4

Q: How do you balance private practice, public interest, and ongoing academic work?

I view these as complementary rather than conflicting; the academic environment allows time for research while governance of The Law Corner enables practical impact, and many law firms share this value of pro bono work.

Nabil Khabirpour on Law and Academia, Access to Justice, European Identity and Religion in Society | Beyond Doctrine Ep. 4

Q: How did The Law Corner come about, and why did you choose a model that combines service, education, and casework from start to finish?

Seeing a lack of accessible legal advice in the Summerstown area, I envisioned a combined clinic and firm-like model to both serve the community and teach people the skills to help themselves over time.
