Fired Copyright Office head sues Trump administration over removal Shira Perlmutter's termination came shortly after the Copyright Office published a long-anticipated report on artificial intelligence.

Many say Perlmutter was fired because she wasn't going to put her thumb on the scale in favor of private AI interests.

I'm talking to a recording artist who says artist royalties will go down 24% by 2028 because of AI diluting the pro-rata, or royalty pool.

Many say there should be 2 copyright ecospheres: one for human IP, one for AI generated.

All this adds up to streaming will die in near future. Story soon.

Reports of UFO abductions stopped with the advent of cell phones for a reason. It was all bullshit.

Those tic tac videos don't come with any flight info. The entire thing is online grift. Earth has never been visited by life from other planets as far as we know. And nobody has a shred of evidence.

Why blocking Hormuz could threaten the world's food supply While most of the world is focused on the impact of oil disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, the current blockade could also pose long-term risks to the global food supply.

The food you eat needs what travels through the Strait of Hormuz.

Having entertainment celebrities and podcasters run America could do more damage than you might think.

Because Tutankhamun is the only tomb discovered that was not raided, does that mean there are 300 other masks like this, for each pharaoh, and not one of them was kept? All were melted down and sold as gold? Really?

Names of the officers who protected America from Trump's violent terrorist attack on Congress on January 6th, 2021. Never forget. And we are still fighting against these profoundly evil and demonic monsters in our country.

Netflix walks away from $83B Warner Bros. takeover Paramount’s David Ellison gets the media property he has long wanted. Netflix, having swung and missed at its first big M&A deal, now has to reassure investors that its business is fine.

Netflix board member Susan Rice criticized companies which “take the knee” to Trump. DT called for Netflix to fire her, strengthening odds his Justice Department would approve a deal that some Republicans in Congress had already been criticizing as anti-competitive.

It's understandable to be suspicious of a company, Paramount/Skydance, who supports a president that violently attacked Congress, lied about election results, tried to overturn election results, jetsetted with a child rapist, posts AI video of his military bombing Chicago citizens with shit.
