Shakespeare Debate

I am on Radio West today, talking about a subject far from intellectual property — the authorship of Shakespeare’s works, the subject of a novel that I wrote two years ago, called The Shakespeare Chronicles

For those who are interested, I have also included the brief I wrote when I was Shakespeare’s “lawyer” in a mock trial called In Re Shakespeare in front of three Supreme Court Justices.  (I got the verdict but Justice Stevens has since declared that he thinks Shakespeare was really the Earl of Oxford.)  If you’d like to see a fragment of me presenting the oral argument in that debate — and being cross examined by Justice Stevens –  there is a small video excerpt on Youtube.  (Note the nice ducktail haircut — what can I say, it was the late 80’s.)
