The Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, had the sad and cynical Jacques explain that all the world is a stage, and all people are actors, acting out predestined parts.
Jacques, by the way, can be a homophone for "jakes", which in Shakespeare's day was a synonym for a privy or toilet.
These days, all the world is a henhouse, jealously guarded by self-appointed foxes.
The Copyright Alliance is asking all creators (writers, musicians, photographers, artists, film-makers) to email members@copyrightalliance.org if their copyrighted works have been "shared" without permission on Facebook. The copyright advocacy organization wants to obtain a good anecdotal database of the scope of copyright infringement on Facebook, and of the types of works exploited, and of how responsive Facebook is to notifications of infringements, and whether or not its "Rights Management" tool is effective.
It is easy and free to join the copyrightalliance.
"Streaming" rips off residuals and hurts the keys and grips and below-the-line union workers. Disney is alleged to be merrily breaching contractual agreements. Chris Castle explains.

There's an Orwellian irony about the term "consent decree". Forced consent is not really consent, is it? Chris Castle reports on the issue of permissionless representation, where the rights and payments of all the song writers in all the world are being carved up by a small, apparently predatory elite who allegedly have no rights at all to negotiate on behalf of copyright owners whom they have never met, never consulted and with whom they almost certainly have no contract.
No one elected those foxes, or so the claim seems to state.

"Inauthentic Activity" is a thing on Facebook. They define what constitutes "inauthentic activity", and to prevent what they deem to be inauthentic activity, they will shut it down and delete it. Criticizing Facebook is inauthentic activity, apparently, so say says Sophie Zhang.

In 2014, apparently, the Supreme Court of the United States decided that employers do not have to pay employees for activities before or after the "principal activities" for which they were hired.

Something has changed. Maybe employers explopited that decision, and added a great many mandatory, onerous and time-consuming peripheral activities at the beginning and end of the working day. Amazon lost in July in Pennsylvania. Appl;e may face a similar issue.
