Alexander Macgillivray is the General Counsel of Twitter and a legal pioneer in the digital landscape. He’s a major player in the game of copyright and equality in digital print and open access, and he’s done most of his work out at the frontier, where the law isn’t yet well defined. Before Twitter, Alexander spearheaded Google’s efforts to scan millions of out-of-print library books for use in Google Archives and worked to keep YouTube as open as possible. Alexander previously was a fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society, and was a litigator at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati.
