Taylor Swift Tackles Etsy, Sending Cease-and-Desists to Producers of Non-Licensed Merchandise; Is Your Favorite Band Next?
Taylor Swift takes intellectual property seriously, hence why she copyrighted the phrase "this sick beat," much to the surprise of many musicians and fans. Most assumed the action was to prevent other performers from referencing it in lyrics, such as how Jay Z's "99 Problems" is frequently cited. It seems that the pop star and her legal team has targeted small-time merchandisers on the site Etsy however. -

Copyright Law May Allow Taylor Swift, Prince et al to Pull Covers from Spotify and Streaming Services As Well
Taylor Swift made headlines during the end of 2014 by pulling her catalogue from Spotify, preventing listeners from checking out her sick beats without shelling out for the song or album 1989. She's not the only one who's keeping their wares off of the streaming service and others like it...The Beatles and Apple Records have yet to release the band's discography to the service. Yet many fans know a loophole, if they're willing to ignore subtle differences in quality: There are covers of the songs on Spotify, performed by bands aiming to sound exactly like The Beatles. Perhaps not for long however, as the U.S. Copyright Office is looking to allow performers to prevent covers of their work from being streamed as well. -

'American Idol' Season 14 Recap & Review: Group Performances Begin and One Chick Passes Out
Hollywood week, as Ryan Seacrest noted at the start of the episode, is an "emotional roller coaster." American Idol judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban now expect everyone's best, even if that means performances that aren't technically perfect.

Grammys 2015 Best Compilation Soundtrack Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Frozen Takes On Guardians of the Galaxy, American Hustle & More
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy became the highest-grossing superhero film of 2014. That in itself is impressive, but to think that a superhero film would also have an incredible soundtrack? That's not something you see every day.
