0:00.0	Hello, everyone, and welcome back to perpetual chess listeners.
0:07.9	You will hear my interview with Professor David Franklin momentarily.
0:11.2	We recorded it yesterday, which was Tuesday, June 27th, shortly after the news broke of the dismissal of Hans Neiman's lawsuit against chess.com and company. And you'll hear Professor Franklin's take
0:24.1	on that, but I'm just recording a quick addendum here Wednesday morning because we discussed
0:29.4	what Hans's side was going to do, whether they might pursue further legal action. And now
0:35.4	the Wall Street Journal has reported that they are intending to
0:39.1	pursue a defamation claim at the state level. So we didn't know that at the time we recorded,

1:45.7	That lawsuit, that $100 million headline making lawsuit has been dismissed. And luckily,
1:51.1	we have someone more qualified than me here to discuss it. We are joined by returning guest,
1:56.5	friend of the pod now. It's official. He is a constitutional law professor who teaches
2:00.5	torts in First
2:01.3	Amendment law. He's also a practicing appellate lawyer who has argued cases before the U.S. Supreme
