Wow. Not looking for that video. I saw his Tweet in my timeline, but didn't know what it was about. I hope he's alright. He seems like a good dude and he was a hell of an important player in UVA's rise.

In $43 Million Settlement, Spotify Forced To Confront A Persistent Problem
Spotify has agreed to put $43.45 million on the table (and an additional $5 million for attorneys' fees) in order to settle a class action suit brought against it by songwriters who accused the company of not licensing or paying them for use of their music.

"This is the first time that songwriters, not one of the industry organizations, have successfully mounted a sort of corrective measure against the streaming services over this unlicensed use of their work," says David Lowery, a songwriter and artist advocate (SCK note: he's the frontman for the band, Cracker) who brought the first of two lawsuits against Spotify before his was absorbed by a subsequent class action suit— brought by three people, the musician Melissa Ferrick, the estate of famed bassist Jaco Pastorius and Gerencia 360 Publishing, which administers a small catalog of Latin music. "It's the first time we've had some sort of general, broad victory like this," Lowery tells NPR. "It's kind of historic."

Lowery's suit and the one filed by Ferrick, Pastorius and Gerencia were largely identical. Each accused Spotify of failing to properly licensing their work before making it available to stream to its customers. Spotify has always maintained it wants to pay for every penny of music it streams, but has repeatedly pointed to a lack of sufficient data on where to direct that money — the recordings of songs are generally paid out properly, while compositions have had consistent problems. (A similar suit was brought against Tidal last year, while YouTube and SoundCloud have both had their own head-on collisions with the problem.) Spotify refused to comment on the settlement or the lawsuits that sparked it.

Jeff Price, co-founder of Audiam, a company which helps labels and artists track uses of their work across digital platforms like Spotify and YouTube, has long maintained that the onus is on the services using the music to make sure they're properly licensed and paying up. "All on-demand services [like Spotify, or Apple Music] are required to get permission — a license — from songwriters. And many of the challenges that face Spotify also face these other services," Price tells NPR. "If you're going to create a company that uses other people's stuff to make money, you need to build an infrastructure to identify and get permission to use that stuff, and then make the appropriate payment. Fortunately in the United States we have laws to protect people from the use of their intellectual property."

For those of you of a certain age. Curtis Armstrong (Booger from Revenge of the Nerds) has written a memoir, and the chapter on Risky Business is available:

And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re the songwriter licensing post above. Good for Lowry and the rest of that class. (Although I prob owe him a few bucks cuz a band I was in covered Jack Ruby a couple of times.). And that is a grim reminder, Jaco has been gone 30 years now, damn time marches on.

Air Force suspends the entire lacrosse coaching staff and some members of the the team (juniors and seniors). What is interesting is this appears to be related to some test on basic knowledge of leadership and history that all freshmen take (which I am guessing is common across any military academy).
