Many authors offered $3K from massive copyright settlement. This Colorado writer thinks they shouldn’t accept it
The Anthropic copyright settlement totals $1.5 billion, but some argue it’s not enough.

Another day w/not enough hours in it...for those not in NYC, here's the Gretsch Guitar Factory building at 60 Broadway, Williamsburg Brooklyn.

There's several of these grey buildings that were once full of Gretsch factory workers building guitars, drums, etc.

Okay, a little about me... I have a radio show on the internet. Called Hurtin For Real. You'll hear good country music. Once a week. Done it since 2002. Can be found at hurtinforreal.com. Theme shows. That's about it. The pic is of me. Leadline Champion 1976.

I’m thinking of John Lennon today on his 85th (!) birthday. I was randomly assigned his phone number in NYC in 1992 after Yoko Ono disconnected it when it appeared in Albert Goldman's biography (see photo). I got calls from George Martin, Elton John, Rod Stewart, and many others.

Artists are clear on what we want: fair pay from streaming, no investment in war technology, protections against AI, an end to pro-rata deals, and transparency for artists across all aspects of streaming. Daniel Ek stepping down fulfills zero of those demands.
