• 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.

  • Grammys 2015 Best Gospel Performance/Song Nominees, Who Should & Will Win: Lecrae's Star Power Tough to Top

    The Grammys do not give too much of a rip about the gospel category, as evidenced by the combination of "performance/song" that several other genres get split into two categories. But it is a blessing in disguise, because we get to judge these songs as the full package. There is star power in the 2015 nominees -- most notably Lecrae and Mali Music -- and plenty of talent -- Karen Clark-Sheard's singing performance will knock your socks off -- but who should win? And who will win?
