“Whatever’s normal.”

This comm is mildly interesting, not mildly hook worm.

I like him! At least he’s honest! A real man of the people. Someone I could get a beer with. Drain the swamp!

Losers getting Ls.

Love to see it.

Oh no how unfortunate.

He’s just daring us to remove him.

Strictly speaking, copyright applies to a particular expression of an idea — in this case, a recording of a performance. Copyright also applies to the arrangement — you can’t (legally) sell copied sheet music.

As a practical matter, artists seek permission to cover (hah) their bases and because the recording industry is functioning like a cartel. Don’t cover our songs and we won’t cover yours without permission.

But we saw Taylor Swift cover her own songs. She didn’t seek permission (or did and it wasn’t given). She now owns the copyright to the covers, but not the originals. The owner of the originals is mad about it but she doesn’t care about maintaining a good relationship with the owner.

She might be on firmer legal ground since she wrote the songs and was the original recording artist, and will win in the court of public opinion, but labels hate that idea and will fight it anyway.

But you see why artists are much more prone to cover others’ music during live shows. They have a stronger legal defense since it isn’t a recording and would ruffle fewer record label execs’ feathers.

Y’all wanted her emancipated.

The narcissism of small differences.

Shart of the deal.

Does Donald have aspirations of finally becoming a painter as well?

34 felonies and 25 amendments.

So stop issuing bonds. It’s a relic of the gold standard.

You know, the one that caused the Great Depression.

Forgot “testicle.”

God, what an idiot.

Stealing AOC’s thunder.

Tell me liberal Dems aren’t controlled opposition.

Well done, James.

Gold yellow or piss yellow?
