Inspired in the #1 Podcast on Goodpods – Intellectual Property Indie Podcasts 

Season 8 Intangiblia™

We’re joined by Serena Barone from the International Artists Forum, an international organization built to connect author groups worldwide and strengthen the push for authors’ rights across borders. If you care about copyright, intellectual property, creator advocacy, and how culture gets protected, this season is for you.We dig into why the International Artists Forum was founded in the first place. Serena explains how the Forum grew from a small start into a network of nearly 100 member organizations around the world, and why that kind of collective power matters when policy and markets move globally. We also get concrete about what the Forum actually does: supporting member organizations, helping them advocate with governments and international bodies, and acting as an exchange platform for the issues creators face right now. AI comes up as a major pressure point, raising urgent questions about how creative work is used and valued. We close with why this collaboration matters to us, and why spotlighting many different voices across the season can help listeners understand the real-world impact of IP decisions on writers, translators, visual artists, and academic authors. Subscribe for the full season, share this with a creator or IP colleague, and leave a review that tells us which authors’ rights topic you want us to tackle next.Send us Fan MailCheck out "Protection for the Inventive Mind" – available now on Amazon in print and Kindle formats.The views and opinions expressed (by the host and guest(s)) in this podcast are strictly their own and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the entities with which they may be affiliated.
