Founders: Set clear expectations around contract redlining: 'We can handle 1-2 rounds of reasonable changes. Beyond that, legal fees eat the deal value.' Helps prevent endless back-and-forth that kills deals through exhaustion.
SCOTUS says platforms are not liable for copyright infringement. Disney's OpenAI deal collapsed. WBD's Superman hits public domain in 2034. The Ellisons own Paramount and Oracle. Every other IP holder needs a cloud infrastructure deal now. https://t.co/frS0mL1rld

What should you do if your kid was on a school bus when an accident occurred ?
Time to renew your trademark before it's too late?! Slow down and check that the trademark renewal isn't a scam. Here's what I received a few days ago, and how I figured out it wasn't legit: https://t.co/HDUOjUwIo1 #scams #spam #trademark...
In light of the #Nexstar TRO it is worth asking how much the death of the "presumption of regularity" is hitting DoJ generally -- including antitrust. If NXSTR banked on DoJ seal of approval, is that going to backfire?
Law-Making at its best…. In many jurisdictions, only parliamentarians participate in debating proposed laws… Zimbabweans are FREELY giving their views in FULL SUPPORT of the Amendment Bill (3). Even the dissenting MINORITY is participating in this process… https://t.co/Y4c2APsXYg

This is so terribly misleading. 1) This is ALL housing, not just rentals. 2) Even so, London rental supply DID fall last year largely due to the "Renters Rights Act," which swings pendulum so far that it's disincentivizing rental supply.
When companies send emails that they're changing their terms and conditions or privacy policy they should tell you what they changed.
Can someone tell me if JD Vance's fraud task force is supposed to be fighting fraud or promoting it?

As the changes to employment law come in next month expect to hear all sorts of pearl clutching from “business” people. If you can’t afford to pay your people properly you don’t have a viable business so I wouldn’t crow...
You can make this issue, bipartisan very simply by saying, "Look at best practice in G20 countries, all of them." Almost every single one of them require citizens provide some form of ID to vote. I don't care what country...
It's probably time for the class action against these unlicensed AI music platforms. The principle is the rights and the money. But got to admit it will be quite entertaining to watch these dim witted entitled and obnoxious assholes...
Copyright is not a monopoly on ideas. It secures human expression. Go back to your law school textbooks on expression vs ideas. If it did grant a monopoly on ideas that would be bad. But it does not. You should...

What happens if you file false tax returns for purported trusts and fraudulently claim $8.5 million in refunds? As a Texas family recently found out, you could be sentenced to 94 months in prison—and you don’t get to keep the...
I'm surprised this was approved by Google... I've seen them come back with rejected DMCA notices when it was clear the site was infringing copyright. This is a BS DMCA takedown that doesn't even make sense. Very interesting case... I...
