The latest lawsuit (Sony) v. DSW isn't just another case. It’s a promise kept and should be an alarm for every brand / agency clinging to the myth that platform licenses magically cover comm'l use. They don’t. Never have. Hoping otherwise is a liability. t.co/vELzcCDTRz

As Counsel to the Music Fights Fraud Alliance, I give full-throated support to the defense of the integrity of music streaming, and fandom. Michael Lewan's recent Billboard column rightly identifies artificial streaming as the most immediate threat to the music industry. t.co/nK4ab44BFD

Brave has asked a federal court in California to declare it is not copyright infringement for its AI-powered search engine to index News Corp’s content. News Corp's CEO says, "It is perverse in the extreme that a company that bemusingly calls itself Brave should engage in content conduct that is so shiftily shameful.”
