    Rock School - 03/02/25 (Limp Bizkit Lawsuit)

    "Fred Durst and the members of Limp Bizkit have brought a rather substantial lawsuit against their record company for unpaid royalties. I know it is Limp Bizkit but the suit goes back to before streaming to when artists had lousy deals and if it is upheld in court, could lay bare much of what was going on in the 90s."

    Rock School - 02/23/25 (Adele Copyright Lawsuit)

    "It seems impossible that a judge in Brazil could stop streaming services worldwide from playing a song due to a copyright concern. That is what is happening now to Adele. If other countries stand by the injunction then it could have a rather wide ranging concerns."

    Rock School - 01/26/25 (Public Domain Day 2025)

    "January 1 was the 2025 Public Domain Day but it goes a bit further. It is not only those works of art that are from 1929. This year the Digital Millennium Act went into effect so other years came into the Public Domain. We will explain."
