Copyright takedowns are a cautionary tale that few are heeding

On July 14, I'm giving the closing keynote for the fifteenth HACKERS ON PLANET EARTH, in QUEENS, NY. Happy Bastille Day! On July 20, I'm appearing in CHICAGO at Exile in Bookville.

We're living through one of those moments when millions of people become suddenly and overwhelmingly interested in fair use, one of the subtlest and worst-understood aspects of copyright law. It's not a subject you can master by skimming a Wikipedia article!

I've been talking about fair use with laypeople for more than 20 years. I've met so many people who possess the unshakable, serene confidence of the truly wrong, like the people who think fair use means you can take x words from a book, or y seconds from a song and it will always be fair, while anything more will never be.

Or the people who think that if you violate any of the four factors, your use can't be fair – or the people who think that if you fail all of the four factors, you must be infringing (people, the Supreme Court is calling and they want to tell you about the Betamax!).

You might think that you can never quote a song lyric in a book without infringing copyright, or that you must clear every musical sample. You might be rock solid certain that scraping the web to train an AI is infringing. If you hold those beliefs, you do not understand the "fact intensive" nature of fair use.

But you can learn! It's actually a really cool and interesting and gnarly subject, and it's a favorite of copyright scholars, who have really fascinating disagreements and discussions about the subject. These discussions often key off of the controversies of the moment, but inevitably they implicate earlier fights about everything from the piano roll to 2 Live Crew to antiracist retellings of Gone With the Wind.

One of the most interesting discussions of fair use you can ask for took place in 2019, when the NYU Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy held a symposium called "Proving IP." One of the panels featured dueling musicologists debating the merits of the Blurred Lines case. That case marked a turning point in music copyright, with the Marvin Gaye estate successfully suing Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams for copying the "vibe" of Gaye's "Got to Give it Up."

Naturally, this discussion featured clips from both songs as the experts – joined by some of America's top copyright scholars – delved into the legal reasoning and future consequences of the case. It would be literally impossible to discuss this case without those clips.

And that's where the problems start: as soon as the symposium was uploaded to Youtube, it was flagged and removed by Content ID, Google's $100,000,000 copyright enforcement system. This initial takedown was fully automated, which is how Content ID works: rightsholders upload audio to claim it, and then Content ID removes other videos where that audio appears (rightsholders can also specify that videos with matching clips be demonetized, or that the ad revenue from those videos be diverted to the rightsholders).

But Content ID has a safety valve: an uploader whose video has been incorrectly flagged can challenge the takedown. The case is then punted to the rightsholder, who has to manually renew or drop their claim. In the case of this symposium, the rightsholder was Universal Music Group, the largest record company in the world. UMG's personnel reviewed the video and did not drop the claim.

99.99% of the time, that's where the story would end, for many reasons. First of all, most people don't understand fair use well enough to contest the judgment of a cosmically vast, unimaginably rich monopolist who wants to censor their video. Just as importantly, though, is that Content ID is a Byzantine system that is nearly as complex as fair use, but it's an entirely private affair, created and adjudicated by another galactic-scale monopolist (Google).

Google's copyright enforcement system is a cod-legal regime with all the downsides of the law, and a few wrinkles of its own (for example, it's a system without lawyers – just corporate experts doing battle with laypeople). And a single mis-step can result in your video being deleted or your account being permanently deleted, along with every video you've ever posted. For people who make their living on audiovisual content, losing your Youtube account is an extinction-level event:

https://www.eff.org/wp/unfiltered-how-youtubes-content-id-discourages-fair-use-and-dictates-what-we-see-online

So for the average Youtuber, Content ID is a kind of Kafka-as-a-Service system that is always avoided and never investigated. But the Engelbert Center isn't your average Youtuber: they boast some of the country's top copyright experts, specializing in exactly the questions Youtube's Content ID is supposed to be adjudicating.

So naturally, they challenged the takedown – only to have UMG double down. This is par for the course with UMG: they are infamous for refusing to consider fair use in takedown requests. Their stance is so unreasonable that a court actually found them guilty of violating the DMCA's provision against fraudulent takedowns:

https://www.eff.org/cases/lenz-v-universal

But the DMCA's takedown system is part of the real law, while Content ID is a fake law, created and overseen by a tech monopolist, not a court. So the fate of the Blurred Lines discussion turned on the Engelberg Center's ability to navigate both the law and the n-dimensional topology of Content ID's takedown flowchart.

It took more than a year, but eventually, Engelberg prevailed.

Until they didn't.

If Content ID was a person, it would be baby, specifically, a baby under 18 months old – that is, before the development of "object permanence." Until our 18th month (or so), we lack the ability to reason about things we can't see – this the period when small babies find peek-a-boo amazing. Object permanence is the ability to understand things that aren't in your immediate field of vision.

Content ID has no object permanence. Despite the fact that the Engelberg Blurred Lines panel was the most involved fair use question the system was ever called upon to parse, it managed to repeatedly forget that it had decided that the panel could stay up. Over and over since that initial determination, Content ID has taken down the video of the panel, forcing Engelberg to go through the whole process again.

But that's just for starters, because Youtube isn't the only place where a copyright enforcement bot is making billions of unsupervised, unaccountable decisions about what audiovisual material you're allowed to access.

Spotify is yet another monopolist, with a justifiable reputation for being extremely hostile to artists' interests, thanks in large part to the role that UMG and the other major record labels played in designing its business rules:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/09/12/streaming-doesnt-pay/#stunt-publishing

Spotify has spent hundreds of millions of dollars trying to capture the podcasting market, in the hopes of converting one of the last truly open digital publishing systems into a product under its control:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/27/enshittification-resistance/#ummauerter-garten-nein

Thankfully, that campaign has failed – but millions of people have (unwisely) ditched their open podcatchers in favor of Spotify's pre-enshittified app, so everyone with a podcast now must target Spotify for distribution if they hope to reach those captive users.

Guess who has a podcast? The Engelberg Center.

Naturally, Engelberg's podcast includes the audio of that Blurred Lines panel, and that audio includes samples from both "Blurred Lines" and "Got To Give It Up."

So – naturally – UMG keeps taking down the podcast.

Spotify has its own answer to Content ID, and incredibly, it's even worse and harder to navigate than Google's pretend legal system. As Engelberg describes in its latest post, UMG and Spotify have colluded to ensure that this now-classic discussion of fair use will never be able to take advantage of fair use itself:

https://www.nyuengelberg.org/news/how-explaining-copyright-broke-the-spotify-copyright-system/

Remember, this is the best case scenario for arguing about fair use with a monopolist like UMG, Google, or Spotify. As Engelberg puts it:

The Engelberg Center had an extraordinarily high level of interest in pursuing this issue, and legal confidence in our position that would have cost an average podcaster tens of thousands of dollars to develop. That cannot be what is required to challenge the removal of a podcast episode.

Automated takedown systems are the tech industry's answer to the "notice-and-takedown" system that was invented to broker a peace between copyright law and the internet, starting with the US's 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DMCA implements (and exceeds) a pair of 1996 UN treaties, the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the Performances and Phonograms Treaty, and most countries in the world have some version of notice-and-takedown.

Big corporate rightsholders claim that notice-and-takedown is a gift to the tech sector, one that allows tech companies to get away with copyright infringement. They want a "strict liability" regime, where any platform that allows a user to post something infringing is liable for that infringement, to the tune of $150,000 in statutory damages.

Of course, there's no way for a platform to know a priori whether something a user posts infringes on someone's copyright. There is no registry of everything that is copyrighted, and of course, fair use means that there are lots of ways to legally reproduce someone's work without their permission (or even when they object). Even if every person who ever has trained or ever will train as a copyright lawyer worked 24/7 for just one online platform to evaluate every tweet, video, audio clip and image for copyright infringement, they wouldn't be able to touch even 1% of what gets posted to that platform.

The "compromise" that the entertainment industry wants is automated takedown – a system like Content ID, where rightsholders register their copyrights and platforms block anything that matches the registry. This "filternet" proposal became law in the EU in 2019 with Article 17 of the Digital Single Market Directive:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/09/today-europe-lost-internet-now-we-fight-back

This was the most controversial directive in EU history, and – as experts warned at the time – there is no way to implement it without violating the GDPR, Europe's privacy law, so now it's stuck in limbo:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/eus-copyright-directive-still-about-filters-eus-top-court-limits-its-use

As critics pointed out during the EU debate, there are so many problems with filternets. For one thing, these copyright filters are very expensive: remember that Google has spent $100m on Content ID alone, and that only does a fraction of what filternet advocates demand. Building the filternet would cost so much that only the biggest tech monopolists could afford it, which is to say, filternets are a legal requirement to keep the tech monopolists in business and prevent smaller, better platforms from ever coming into existence.

Filternets are also incapable of telling the difference between similar files. This is especially problematic for classical musicians, who routinely find their work blocked or demonetized by Sony Music, which claims performances of all the most important classical music compositions:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/05/08/copyfraud/#beethoven-just-wrote-music

Content ID can't tell the difference between your performance of "The Goldberg Variations" and Glenn Gould's. For classical musicians, the best case scenario is to have their online wages stolen by Sony, who fraudulently claim copyright to their recordings. The worst case scenario is that their video is blocked, their channel deleted, and their names blacklisted from ever opening another account on one of the monopoly platforms.

But when it comes to free expression, the role that notice-and-takedown and filternets play in the creative industries is really a sideshow. In creating a system of no-evidence-required takedowns, with no real consequences for fraudulent takedowns, these systems are huge gift to the world's worst criminals. For example, "reputation management" companies help convicted rapists, murderers, and even war criminals purge the internet of true accounts of their crimes by claiming copyright over them:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/23/reputation-laundry/#dark-ops

Remember how during the covid lockdowns, scumbags marketed junk devices by claiming that they'd protect you from the virus? Their products remained online, while the detailed scientific articles warning people about the fraud were speedily removed through false copyright claims:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/18/labor-shortage-discourse-time/#copyfraud

Copyfraud – making false copyright claims – is an extremely safe crime to commit, and it's not just quack covid remedy peddlers and war criminals who avail themselves of it. Tech giants like Adobe do not hesitate to abuse the takedown system, even when that means exposing millions of people to spyware:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/13/theres-an-app-for-that/#gnash

Dirty cops play loud, copyrighted music during confrontations with the public, in the hopes that this will trigger copyright filters on services like Youtube and Instagram and block videos of their misbehavior:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/02/10/duke-sucks/#bhpd

But even if you solved all these problems with filternets and takedown, this system would still choke on fair use and other copyright exceptions. These are "fact intensive" questions that the world's top experts struggle with (as anyone who watches the Blurred Lines panel can see). There's no way we can get software to accurately determine when a use is or isn't fair.

That's a question that the entertainment industry itself is increasingly conflicted about. The Blurred Lines judgment opened the floodgates to a new kind of copyright troll – grifters who sued the record labels and their biggest stars for taking the "vibe" of songs that no one ever heard of. Musicians like Ed Sheeran have been sued for millions of dollars over these alleged infringements. These suits caused the record industry to (ahem) change its tune on fair use, insisting that fair use should be broadly interpreted to protect people who made things that were similar to existing works. The labels understood that if "vibe rights" became accepted law, they'd end up in the kind of hell that the rest of us enter when we try to post things online – where anything they produce can trigger takedowns, long legal battles, and millions in liability:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/04/08/oh-why/#two-notes-and-running

But the music industry remains deeply conflicted over fair use. Take the curious case of Katy Perry's song "Dark Horse," which attracted a multimillion-dollar suit from an obscure Christian rapper who claimed that a brief phrase in "Dark Horse" was impermissibly similar to his song "A Joyful Noise."

Perry and her publisher, Warner Chappell, lost the suit and were ordered to pay $2.8m. While they subsequently won an appeal, this definitely put the cold grue up Warner Chappell's back. They could see a long future of similar suits launched by treasure hunters hoping for a quick settlement.

But here's where it gets unbelievably weird and darkly funny. A Youtuber named Adam Neely made a wildly successful viral video about the suit, taking Perry's side and defending her song. As part of that video, Neely included a few seconds' worth of "A Joyful Noise," the song that Perry was accused of copying.

In court, Warner Chappell had argued that "A Joyful Noise" was not similar to Perry's "Dark Horse." But when Warner had Google remove Neely's video, they claimed that the sample from "Joyful Noise" was actually taken from "Dark Horse." Incredibly, they maintained this position through multiple appeals through the Content ID system:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/03/05/warner-chappell-copyfraud/#warnerchappell

In other words, they maintained that the song that they'd told the court was totally dissimilar to their own was so indistinguishable from their own song that they couldn't tell the difference!

Now, this question of vibes, similarity and fair use has only gotten more intense since the takedown of Neely's video. Just this week, the RIAA sued several AI companies, claiming that the songs the AI shits out are infringingly similar to tracks in their catalog:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/record-labels-sue-music-generators-suno-and-udio-1235042056/

Even before "Blurred Lines," this was a difficult fair use question to answer, with lots of chewy nuances. Just ask George Harrison:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Sweet_Lord

But as the Engelberg panel's cohort of dueling musicologists and renowned copyright experts proved, this question only gets harder as time goes by. If you listen to that panel (if you can listen to that panel), you'll be hard pressed to come away with any certainty about the questions in this latest lawsuit.

The notice-and-takedown system is what's known as an "intermediary liability" rule. Platforms are "intermediaries" in that they connect end users with each other and with businesses. Ebay and Etsy and Amazon connect buyers and sellers; Facebook and Google and Tiktok connect performers, advertisers and publishers with audiences and so on.

For copyright, notice-and-takedown gives platforms a "safe harbor." A platform doesn't have to remove material after an allegation of infringement, but if they don't, they're jointly liable for any future judgment. In other words, Youtube isn't required to take down the Engelberg Blurred Lines panel, but if UMG sues Engelberg and wins a judgment, Google will also have to pay out.

During the adoption of the 1996 WIPO treaties and the 1998 US DMCA, this safe harbor rule was characterized as a balance between the rights of the public to publish online and the interest of rightsholders whose material might be infringed upon. The idea was that things that were likely to be infringing would be immediately removed once the platform received a notification, but that platforms would ignore spurious or obviously fraudulent takedowns.

That's not how it worked out. Whether it's Sony Music claiming to own your performance of "Fur Elise" or a war criminal claiming authorship over a newspaper story about his crimes, platforms nuke first and ask questions never. Why not? If they ignore a takedown and get it wrong, they suffer dire consequences ($150,000 per claim). But if they take action on a dodgy claim, there are no consequences. Of course they're just going to delete anything they're asked to delete.

This is how platforms always handle liability, and that's a lesson that we really should have internalized by now. After all, the DMCA is the second-most famous intermediary liability system for the internet – the most (in)famous is Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act.

This is a 27-word law that says that platforms are not liable for civil damages arising from their users' speech. Now, this is a US law, and in the US, there aren't many civil damages from speech to begin with. The First Amendment makes it very hard to get a libel judgment, and even when these judgments are secured, damages are typically limited to "actual damages" – generally a low sum. Most of the worst online speech is actually not illegal: hate speech, misinformation and disinformation are all covered by the First Amendment.

Notwithstanding the First Amendment, there are categories of speech that US law criminalizes: actual threats of violence, criminal harassment, and committing certain kinds of legal, medical, election or financial fraud. These are all exempted from Section 230, which only provides immunity for civil suits, not criminal acts.

What Section 230 really protects platforms from is being named to unwinnable nuisance suits by unscrupulous parties who are betting that the platforms would rather remove legal speech that they object to than go to court. A generation of copyfraudsters have proved that this is a very safe bet:

https://www.techdirt.com/2020/06/23/hello-youve-been-referred-here-because-youre-wrong-about-section-230-communications-decency-act/

In other words, if you made a #MeToo accusation, or if you were a gig worker using an online forum to organize a union, or if you were blowing the whistle on your employer's toxic waste leaks, or if you were any other under-resourced person being bullied by a wealthy, powerful person or organization, that organization could shut you up by threatening to sue the platform that hosted your speech. The platform would immediately cave. But those same rich and powerful people would have access to the lawyers and back-channels that would prevent you from doing the same to them – that's why Sony can get your Brahms recital taken down, but you can't turn around and do the same to them.

This is true of every intermediary liability system, and it's been true since the earliest days of the internet, and it keeps getting proven to be true. Six years ago, Trump signed SESTA/FOSTA, a law that allowed platforms to be held civilly liable by survivors of sex trafficking. At the time, advocates claimed that this would only affect "sexual slavery" and would not impact consensual sex-work.

But from the start, and ever since, SESTA/FOSTA has primarily targeted consensual sex-work, to the immediate, lasting, and profound detriment of sex workers:

https://hackinghustling.org/what-is-sesta-fosta/

SESTA/FOSTA killed the "bad date" forums where sex workers circulated the details of violent and unstable clients, killed the online booking sites that allowed sex workers to screen their clients, and killed the payment processors that let sex workers avoid holding unsafe amounts of cash:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/09/fight-overturn-fosta-unconstitutional-internet-censorship-law-continues

SESTA/FOSTA made voluntary sex work more dangerous – and also made life harder for law enforcement efforts to target sex trafficking:

https://hackinghustling.org/erased-the-impact-of-fosta-sesta-2020/

Despite half a decade of SESTA/FOSTA, despite 15 years of filternets, despite a quarter century of notice-and-takedown, people continue to insist that getting rid of safe harbors will punish Big Tech and make life better for everyday internet users.

As of now, it seems likely that Section 230 will be dead by then end of 2025, even if there is nothing in place to replace it:

https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/bipartisan-energy-and-commerce-leaders-announce-legislative-hearing-on-sunsetting-section-230

This isn't the win that some people think it is. By making platforms responsible for screening the content their users post, we create a system that only the largest tech monopolies can survive, and only then by removing or blocking anything that threatens or displeases the wealthy and powerful.

Filternets are not precision-guided takedown machines; they're indiscriminate cluster-bombs that destroy anything in the vicinity of illegal speech – including (and especially) the best-informed, most informative discussions of how these systems go wrong, and how that blocks the complaints of the powerless, the marginalized, and the abused.

Online Reputation Manage: Developing a Strategic Reputation Management Plan For Business Growth

In the fast-paced digital era, your business reputation is like a digital first impression—it spreads rapidly and can make or break your success. Think of it as your online resume. A positive reputation is a magnet for customers, partners, and investors, drawing them in with trust and credibility. On the flip side, a negative one can send them running. That’s why having a well-thought-out strategic reputation management plan is not just a luxury but a necessity. It involves actively shaping the way people perceive your brand, addressing issues promptly, and showcasing the positives. In this digital age, where information travels at the speed of a click, managing your reputation strategically is the key to unlocking growth and ensuring the long-term success of your business.

Understanding Reputation Management

Reputation management is like steering the narrative about your business in the vast sea of information. It’s not just about tooting your own horn; it’s also about what others are saying. Imagine your business as a character in a story, and that story is being written by your customers, the media, and social media users. Customer reviews, media coverage, and social media mentions all contribute to the plot. A positive review can be a plot twist that propels your business forward, while a negative one might throw a curveball. Being in control means actively engaging with your audience, addressing concerns, and highlighting the positive aspects. In this digital age, where everyone has a voice, managing your reputation is not just a task; it’s a storytelling art that can shape the destiny of your business.

The Importance of Reputation for Business Growth

A solid business reputation comes with a bundle of perks. Firstly, there’s the golden ticket of customer trust. When people have faith in your business, they’re more likely to open their wallets and keep coming back for more. In a dog-eat-dog business world, a good reputation acts as your secret weapon, setting you apart from the competition. Picture this – a customer faced with similar choices goes with the one with the shining reputation. But it’s not just customers; top-notch talents are drawn to businesses that have a positive vibe. If your company’s known for being a great place to work, you’ll have the best minds knocking on your door. And let’s not forget the VIP access to collaborations and partnerships. Other businesses want to team up with winners, and a strong reputation is your golden ticket to opening doors for growth-boosting alliances. So, in the reputation game, the more you invest, the more benefits you reap.

Developing Your Reputation Management Plan

Now that we understand the importance of reputation management, let’s outline a strategic plan to build and maintain a positive reputation:

1. Monitor Your Reputation Regularly

Harnessing the power of online tools is like having a superhero sidekick for your business reputation.  Pay attention to customer reviews, social media comments, and news articles. When negative vibes pop up, don’t play hide and seek; address them head-on. Swiftly and professionally tackle any concerns or criticisms. It’s not just about damage control – it’s about showing you’re attentive and committed to customer satisfaction. 

2. Provide Excellent Customer Service

Crafting exceptional customer service is like planting seeds of positivity that bloom into a garden of goodwill. Train your employees to be customer service superheroes, equipped with the skills to handle inquiries and complaints like seasoned pros. In this customer-centric era, exceptional service isn’t just a choice; it’s the secret sauce that turns customers into lifelong fans and transforms your business into a beacon of excellence.

3. Build a Strong Online Presence

Dive into the social media scene and create vibrant profiles on platforms that resonate with your audience. It’s not just about having an account; it’s about being an active player. Share content that’s not just promotional but valuable, content that your audience wants to see. Social media is a two-way street, so engage with your followers – respond to comments, acknowledge messages, and be part of the conversation.

4. Encourage and Manage Reviews

Transform happy customers into your business’s biggest cheerleaders by encouraging them to leave reviews on platforms like Google My Business, Yelp, and other industry-specific review sites. It’s like collecting stars for your business. Be vigilant in monitoring these reviews and, here’s the crucial part, respond to them. Whether the review is a glowing testament to your greatness or a constructive critique, show that you’re listening and engaged. This isn’t just about boosting your online reputation management; it’s about building a community of trust. Potential customers peek at reviews to gauge your credibility. By actively participating in the review conversation, you demonstrate that feedback matters, and you’re committed to making things right. It’s not just a review; it’s a chance to showcase your dedication to customer satisfaction and turn happy customers into your business’s best advocates.

5. Be Transparent and Authentic

In the world of business, honesty is the best policy. Be transparent about your products, services, and how you operate. If mistakes happen – and they inevitably do – own up to them. Admitting faults and taking responsibility is not a weakness but a strength. It’s like saying, “Hey, we’re human, but we’re committed to making things right.” This level of authenticity resonates with customers; it builds trust like a reliable foundation. 

6. Invest in Public Relations

Forge strong connections with journalists and media outlets within your industry; consider them as allies in your business journey. Actively seek opportunities for positive media coverage through avenues like press releases, interviews, and thought leadership articles. It’s not just about being in the spotlight; it’s about shaping the narrative surrounding your brand. 

7. Monitor Your Competition

In the competitive arena of business, it pays to be a keen observer. Keep a watchful eye on your competitors’ reputation management strategies. Learn from their triumphs and, perhaps more importantly, from their missteps. It’s like having a playbook, studying both the winning moves and the fumbles. Identify areas where you can set yourself apart, finding the sweet spot that makes your business shine uniquely. By staying attuned to your competitors, you’re not just keeping pace; you’re strategically positioning yourself to capitalize on opportunities and stand out in the crowd. In the reputation game, being aware of what others are doing is like having a compass; it guides you towards a path where you can carve out your distinct identity and make a lasting impression.

8. Measure and Adapt

In the realm of online reputation management, data is your compass, and key performance indicators (KPIs) are your guideposts. Track the effectiveness of your efforts by monitoring crucial metrics like online sentiment, customer satisfaction scores, and brand awareness. It’s like having a dashboard that tells you how well you’re navigating the reputation landscape. Analyze this data to fine-tune your strategies and stay agile in the face of changing circumstances. If online sentiment is soaring, you’re on the right track. If customer satisfaction scores need a boost, it’s a cue to adjust your approach. Think of it as a continuous feedback loop – the data informs your decisions, and your actions influence the data. In the dynamic world of reputation management, KPIs are your north star, helping you stay on course and ensuring your efforts are not just effective but always evolving.

Conclusion

In conclusion, reputation management is not just about maintaining a positive image; it’s about driving business growth. By developing a strategic reputation management plan and implementing it consistently, you can build trust with customers, gain a competitive advantage, and position your business for long-term success. Remember, your reputation is one of your most valuable assets, so invest the time and resources to manage it effectively. Want more information visit Online Reputation Manage Website.

David Enrich’s “Murder the Truth”

I'm on a 20+ city book tour for my new novel PICKS AND SHOVELS. Catch me in SAN DIEGO at MYSTERIOUS GALAXY on Mar 24, and in CHICAGO with PETER SAGAL on Apr 2. More tour dates here.

David Enrich's Murder the Truth: Fear, the First Amendment, and a Secret Campaign to Protect the Powerful is a brave, furious book about the long-running plan by America's wealthy and corrupt to "open up the libel laws" so they can destroy their critics:

https://www.harpercollins.com/products/murder-the-truth-david-enrich

Enrich is a veteran business reporter at the New York Times; he's reported extensively on high finance and sleaze, and has a knack for piercing the Shield of Boredom that protects finance crimes from scrutiny. His 2017 book The Spider's Web manages the nearly impossible trick of making the LIBOR-rigging conspiracy – which involved trillions, but in ways that were so baroque that hardly anyone noticed – comprehensible:

https://memex.craphound.com/2017/09/24/the-spider-network-a-novelistic-account-of-the-mediocre-rich-men-who-robbed-the-world-with-libor/

In taking on the libel-industrial complex – a network of shadowy, thin-skinned, wealthy litigation funders; crank academics; buck-chasing lawyer lickspittle sociopaths; and the most corrupt Supreme Court justice on the bench today – Enrich is wading into dangerous territory. After all, he's reporting on people who've made it their life's mission to financially destroy anyone who has the temerity to report on their misdeeds.

As such, Enrich's writing is extremely cautious, sometimes comically so, but always intentionally, in a way that highlights the absurd chilling effect his subjects are attempting to induce in all of us.

The book primarily concerns itself with the effort to overturn Sullivan, a 1964 Supreme Court case that established protections for media outlets that report on public figures and commit minor factual errors, provided that the errors were neither negligent nor malicious.

Since Sullivan, media outlets have held the upper hand when reporting on public figures. While Sullivan isn't a license to simply make stuff up about celebrities, politicians and business leaders, it does mean that if a reporter makes a minor misstatement, it's on the subject of the reporting to prove that the error was negligent and/or malicious.

Before Sullivan, most defamation litigation happened in state courts, and southern courts allowed lawmakers and cops to sue newspapers that reported on racial terror campaigns during the civil rights fight. The judgments involved were so large that many media outlets simply gave up on reporting on the intimidation, violence and murder taking place in the Jim Crow south.

True to form, Clarence Thomas has led the charge to dismantle a law that was key to the struggle for rights for Black people and other disfavored minorities. In Enrich's telling, Thomas's animus for Sullivan started during his confirmation hearings, when Anita Hill described his relentless sexual harassment of the lawyers who worked for him, including Hill. Being the subject of a media firestorm that painted him as a disgusting, cruel sex-pest seems to have inspired Thomas in a decades-long campaign to find a case that would let him tear down Sullivan, so that wealthy people could once again intimidate reporters into silence. Of course, Thomas's hatred for Sullivan only grew when Propublica revealed that he had taken numerous "gifts" from wealthy "friends" who had business before the courts, revelations that will forever make Thomas's name a synonym for corruption.

Enrich's cast of characters includes a clutch of whiny, ultra-rich axe-grinders, who finance (often in secret) lawsuits that are designed to chip away at Sullivan. Some are international looters or corrupt ex-Soviet oligarchs, but others are ideologues, committed to the principle of impunity for the powerful.

He also introduces us to the lawyers who wage these battles. As you might imagine, the kind of lawyer who sits up at night figuring out how to help wealthy, powerful people destroy their critics is often a crank themselves, with "colorful" personal relations that Enrich reports on with meticulous prose, including the many denials and non-denials his subjects sent when he sought comment.

As with his LIBOR book, Enrich does yeoman duty here unpacking complex matters that would be dull in a lesser writer's hands. The litigation strategies devised by Sullivan's enemies are always convoluted and are sometimes clever, much like the litigation strategies used to kill campaign finance limits (Citizens United) and abortion rights (Dobbs). Indeed, many of the financiers, think-tanks and lawyers behind those plots are also would-be Sullivan slayers.

The best of these legal gambits are actually rather clever – locating innocent people who've been genuinely wronged by Sullivan (as the saying goes, "hard cases make bad law") and then using them to undermine Sullivan, without actually helping them in any way. It's positively fiendish.

We're in a moment when a lot of powerful people are getting far more powerful, and abusing that power to commit wildly corrupt acts. The only way we'll know about this is if the press can freely report on their misdeeds. Murder the Truth is a vital guide to the next Citizens United, the next Dobbs – a campaign to take away your right to know about the next assault on your rights that plutocrats will launch.

How do we let go of the past, learn to love ourselves, and gain confidence and self esteem even in the face of negativity and cruel, false rumours?

Hi love. I think the most important thing to realize/remember is that most people's cruel words and baseless claims are a reflection of their current emotional state, life stressors, and their own poor self-esteem.

Validate your truth. Use facts to highlight this truth to stand up for yourself in high-stakes circumstances (like with a boss, professor/teacher, sometimes parents, law enforcement tax/governmental agents, etc.).

If it's petty gossip, say as little as possible and just avoid it. Most people who say and spread these rumors are seeking an outspoken response or some sort of emotional degradation on your side. So, the best thing you can do is allow the rumors to fall on deaf ears.

If they persist or genuinely could tarnish your reputation (say for your professional reputation, university, or a job opportunity, etc.) counter their false claims with facts to back up your narrative. Facts over feelings (but actually this time).

Hope this helps xx

“Everywhere I go, I’m second to arrive. My reputation precedes me, and sometimes it skips out on the bill.”

5 Ways of Email Marketing That Can Boost Your Online Presence and Reputation

Email marketing remains one of the most effective ways to connect with your audience, foster relationships, and enhance your online presence. When done right, it can significantly boost your brand’s reputation and drive conversions. Here are five strategies to elevate your email marketing efforts

Personalize Your Emails

Personalization goes beyond addressing your subscribers by their first names. It involves leveraging data to tailor content to the preferences, behaviors, and needs of each recipient. Personalization can increase engagement, build loyalty, and improve conversion rates.

Strategies for Personalization:

Segment Your Audience: Group your subscribers based on demographics, purchase history, or engagement levels. This allows you to send targeted messages that resonate with each segment.

Use Dynamic Content: Incorporate dynamic elements that change based on the recipient’s data. For example, showcase products they’ve shown interest in or recommend content based on their previous interactions.

Automated Behavior Triggers: Set up automated emails triggered by specific actions, such as cart abandonment, recent purchases, or content downloads. These timely and relevant messages can significantly boost engagement.

Craft Compelling Subject Lines

The subject line is the first thing your subscribers see, and it plays a crucial role in determining whether they open your email. A well-crafted subject line can capture attention and spark curiosity, leading to higher open rates.

Tips for Crafting Compelling Subject Lines:

Keep It Short and Sweet: Aim for subject lines that are clear and concise. Around 40-50 characters is a good length to ensure visibility on mobile devices.

Create a Sense of Urgency: Phrases like “Limited Time Offer” or “Act Now” can encourage immediate action.

Use Emojis: Emojis can make your subject lines stand out in a crowded inbox and convey emotions or themes quickly.

Ask Questions: Engaging questions can pique curiosity and encourage subscribers to open the email to find the answer.

Provide Value with Quality Content

Your subscribers will stay engaged if they find value in your emails. Focus on providing high-quality, relevant content that addresses their needs and interests.

Ways to Provide Value:

Educational Content: Share tips, how-tos, and informative articles that help your audience solve problems or learn something new.

Exclusive Offers: Reward your subscribers with exclusive discounts, early access to sales, or special promotions.

Entertaining Content: Mix in entertaining elements like quizzes, fun facts, or behind-the-scenes looks at your company.

Curated Content: Share curated content from reputable sources that your audience will find useful or interesting. This can position your brand as a thought leader in your industry.

Optimize for Mobile

With a significant portion of emails being opened on mobile devices, ensuring your emails are mobile-friendly is crucial. A poor mobile experience can lead to lower engagement and higher unsubscribe rates.

Best Practices for Mobile Optimization:

Responsive Design: Use email templates that automatically adjust to different screen sizes.

Concise Copy: Keep your text short and to the point. Long paragraphs can be overwhelming on small screens.

Large Buttons: Ensure your call-to-action buttons are easy to tap on mobile devices.

Readable Fonts: Use a font size that is easily readable on smaller screens, generally at least 14pt for body text.

Analyze and Optimize

Continuous analysis and optimization are key to improving your email marketing efforts. Use data and feedback to understand what’s working and what’s not and make adjustments accordingly.

Steps for Effective Analysis and Optimization:

Track Key Metrics: Monitor open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates, and unsubscribe rates to gauge the effectiveness of your emails.

A/B Testing: Conduct A/B tests on various elements such as subject lines, email content, images, and call-to-action buttons to see what resonates best with your audience.

Gather Feedback: Encourage subscribers to provide feedback on your emails. Use surveys or direct replies to understand their preferences and pain points.

Refine Your Strategy: Based on your analysis and feedback, continuously refine your email marketing strategy to better meet the needs of your audience and achieve your business goals.

Conclusion

Email marketing, when executed effectively, can significantly boost your online presence and reputation. By personalizing your emails, crafting compelling subject lines, providing valuable content, optimizing for mobile, and continuously analyzing and optimizing your efforts, you can foster stronger relationships with your audience and drive better results for your business. Start implementing these strategies today to elevate your email marketing game and watch your brand grow.

Reputation Management for E-commerce: Winning Customer Trust

In the fast-paced world of e-commerce, where competition is fierce and customer expectations are higher than ever, reputation management has become a critical aspect of success. E-commerce businesses operate in a digital landscape where consumer trust is paramount, and even a single negative review can significantly impact sales and brand perception. In this article, we'll delve into the importance of reputation management for e-commerce and explore strategies to win and maintain customer trust in today's competitive market.

Understanding the Significance of Reputation Management

In the realm of e-commerce, reputation management encompasses a range of activities aimed at shaping and maintaining the perception of a brand among consumers. It involves monitoring and responding to customer feedback, managing online reviews and ratings, and actively cultivating a positive online presence. The significance of reputation management for e-commerce cannot be overstated, as it directly influences consumer purchasing decisions and brand loyalty.

The Impact of Trust on E-commerce Success

Trust is the cornerstone of any successful e-commerce venture. In an environment where consumers cannot physically interact with products or sellers, they rely heavily on trust signals to inform their purchasing decisions. A strong reputation instills confidence in potential customers, reassuring them that they are making a wise and safe investment. Conversely, a tarnished reputation can erode trust, driving customers away and damaging long-term profitability.

Building a Positive Online Reputation

Building a positive online reputation requires a proactive and multifaceted approach. Here are some key strategies to consider:

1. Deliver Exceptional Customer Service

Providing exceptional customer service is fundamental to earning and maintaining a positive reputation. Promptly address customer inquiries and concerns, resolve issues with empathy and professionalism, and strive to exceed expectations at every opportunity.

2. Encourage and Respond to Customer Feedback

Actively solicit feedback from customers and encourage them to share their experiences through reviews and ratings. Monitor online platforms and promptly respond to both positive and negative feedback. Acknowledge customer concerns, offer solutions, and demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction.

3. Maintain Transparency and Authenticity

Transparency breeds trust in the e-commerce realm. Be honest and transparent in your business practices, including product descriptions, pricing, and shipping policies. Authenticity resonates with consumers and can differentiate your brand in a crowded marketplace.

4. Monitor and Manage Online Reviews

Regularly monitor online review platforms, social media channels, and other relevant websites for customer feedback. Address negative reviews promptly and constructively, seeking resolution and showcasing your commitment to customer service. Highlight positive reviews and testimonials to reinforce trust and credibility.

5. Invest in Secure Transactions and Data Privacy

Security is paramount in e-commerce, particularly concerning payment transactions and data privacy. Invest in robust security measures to protect customer information and ensure safe and secure transactions. Display trust badges and security certifications prominently to reassure customers of their safety.

6. Cultivate a Strong Social Media Presence

Social media plays a pivotal role in shaping brand perception and engaging with customers. Maintain an active presence on relevant social media platforms, share valuable content, and actively engage with your audience. Respond to inquiries and comments promptly, demonstrating attentiveness and accessibility.

The Role of SEO in Reputation Management

Search engine optimization (SEO) plays a crucial role in reputation management for e-commerce. Optimizing your website and content for relevant keywords can improve your visibility in search engine results and help shape the narrative surrounding your brand. By proactively managing your online presence through SEO, you can ensure that positive information about your brand ranks prominently, mitigating the impact of negative content.

In the fiercely competitive landscape of e-commerce, reputation management is a cornerstone of success. By prioritizing customer trust and implementing proactive strategies to manage your online reputation, you can differentiate your brand, foster loyalty, and drive long-term growth. Remember that building a positive reputation is an ongoing process that requires dedication, transparency, and a commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences. Embrace reputation management as a strategic imperative, and you'll position your e-commerce business for sustained success in today's digital marketplace.
