Today we welcome special guest Tim Kappel of the law firm Lassiter, Tidwell, and Davis to talk intellectual property, equity crowdfunding, the JOBS Act, and just exactly what would happen if song pluggers in the 1920s used the same lingo as today. On the news this week: Facebook buys Oculus VR, Disney buys Maker Studios, Popcorn Time does a disappearing act, and we say goodbye to an old friend.
