I'm guessing a lot of artists will be under pressure to stop, collaborate and listen to what their attorneys have to say.

If an artist's music consists of blatantly ripping off the work of others, then their careers deserve to be killed. This was not a song sample, the song was not inspired by, it didn't capture the "feel" of Marvin Gaye's record- it was a rip-off. There are plenty of song samples used or songs that are inspired by…

right? this is why copyrights exist and an appropriate use - so you can't claim someone else's work as your own.

This isn't killing shit. If they had given Gaye a songwriting credit or paid for sampling, none of this would have happened.

Which would be funny, except it's more like "Well, sorry you got human trafficked and raped and got pregnant as a result, but congratulations! We cut funding for early child care and family support for the poor so good luck on finding two or three part time jobs, we'll be doing our best to keep your minimum wage from…

It's really not. It's acknowledgement that the cost of living has run totally off the rails, for both lower tiered hourly employees and those supposedly up the corporate ladder. We're all getting screwed.

Do you ask the same employer repeatedly to hire you within a span of days even after the position is closed?

The girl was being stalked and it probably made her feel very uncomfortable. If little mister gets his feelers hurt from being stalked by kids who refuse to listen to him tell them to go away I would call that both a college level life lesson and karma. My sympathy is with the girl.

Not worth responding to this person. Everything about Jezebel seems to displease her if you look at her commenting history.

So...your takeaway from one bright spot in a field of stories of black people being murdered in the streets for existing is to engage in non-intersectional oppression olympics? Way to be an ally.

Wearing the same outfit as Violet Beauregarde is the real crime here.

The problem is that they were caught on camera they were not expelled for being racist they were expelled because they were caught on camera, please especially if you are white do not start with that racism is taken more seriously than rape or sexism because that is not true.

Sweet assumption bro. I'm assuming you're deciding what fedora to wear to your MRA meeting.

I really hope they avoid the whole situation where Carol is now completely jealous of this new woman, and having roped him into marriage will loose her S even more when the idea of him having sex with the new woman comes up. But I'm pretty sure that is where this is going.

People who think their shit needs its own seat on the subway should be rounded up and placed in camps that have half as many chairs as they need.

Didn't you know you had to have ALL mental disorders voted on by a group of random internet commenters? In order to be properly diagnosed as depressed with a serious anxiety disorder, I had to ask permission from the Internet first. DUH.

I have PTSD, with a nice shiny gold star and everything. And yet, through some kind of magic, I was able to read Corgis' original comment and understand perfectly well what they meant. What I felt was empathy, not butthurt.

This comment is the exact definition why being knee jerk centrist makes you worse than useless.

^ This guy thinks he's a centrist :)
