3:24Now PlayingNeither Taylor Lorenz Nor Wired Has The Option To Release the Chorus Contracts
Hawk discusses Taylor Lorenz, Wired, and the ongoing debate about the Chorus contracts. Hawk explains why neither Taylor Lorenz nor Wired can release copies of the contracts and how confidentiality agreements play a central role. He emphasizes the importance of non-disclosure agreements and why Chorus required creators to sign them before sending contracts.
Hawk focuses on how this is a normal practice in business, especially when dealing with competitive industries where sensitive information could easily end up in the hands of competitors or the media. He also highlights the legal risks for sources who might share documents, noting that Taylor Lorenz and Wired would risk outing their sources if they were to publish these contracts.
The discussion expands to cover Chorus, Brian Tyler Cohen, and Steuart, providing context on how creators were vetted, how NDAs protected the contracts, and why legal precedent prevents journalists from being forced to disclose their sources. Hawk provides clarity for viewers who may have been confused by rumors and speculation surrounding this story.
This video gives important context about media, journalism, NDAs, and the Chorus contracts, helping viewers understand why Taylor Lorenz and Wired cannot simply release them.
