BLURRED LINES: Bringing Focus to the 9th Circuit’s Copyright Decision In Williams v. Gaye
reprinted from https://www.natlawreview.com/article/blurred-lines-bringing-focus-to-9th-circuit-s-copyright-decision-williams-v-gaye On March 21, 2018, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its decision in the highly publicized copyright suit, Pharrell Williams, et. al., v. Frankie Christian Gaye, et. al, No. 15-56880 (Slip Op.; Dkt. 93-1) (Mar. 21, 2018 9th Cir.) (“Williams”). Given the lower court’s controversial holding in favor of the copyright holders, many expected the Ninth Circuit, a highly influential court on copyright matters, to take the opportunity to address some of the important substantive questions raised by this case, providing guidance to the lower courts regarding the scope of copyright protection properly afforded to such musical works.

Explicit? Bio 101
Bio 101 by Dazee Dizzle I will be the first to say abstinence is not a good look on me. However, that has been my experience more often than not. Although I hate to reveal my age, if you knew it then you would know it is really hard to be abstinent. Many people go through this so I know I am not alone. A person can fantasize though.

While I was sitting in biology,…
