    Check out 's thread below on important news from yesterday -- our brief about labels, publishers, and more changing definitions in ways that make them more money and hurt hardworking artists🧵

    Just hit the file button on one of the more important briefs of my legal career--calling on SCOTUS to throw out an outdated, inconsistent test that is used almost exclusively to deprive artists of their termination rights.

    Industry lobbyists definitely saying the quiet part out loud What's not said in the article: Current delays lay at the feet of Dems. The GOP didn't delay naming the nominee. The GOP doesn't control the lack of a vote in Committee. Dems need to support moving their own agenda

    NEW: The telecom and broadband industries hope to block left-wing FCC nominee Gigi Sohn in order to delay Democratic-backed regulations like Net Neutrality which would hurt their bottom lines. *Saying the quiet part out loud* here

    THREAD: On the importance of a quick hearing & confirmation process to set a full FCC. h/t Let's not delay ! Folks are spreading inaccuracies about the nominees. Quick hearings are the best way to question them publicly & on the record.

    Rumors & reports flying around that wants to hold separate hearings on the president's (excellent) nominees, Jessica Rosenworcel and Gigi Sohn. Don't do this! We need the FCC at work as fast as possible. And that means having all 5 commissioners in place.

    The list is long on folks who can say this!

    You can blame Gigi Sohn for getting me into tech policy, but other than that, she will be an excellent Commissioner
