Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 203-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,539, on turnover of $4.8-billion N-T. Dongyin Township in Matsu Islands joins global Cittaslow network Dongyin Township in the Matsu Islands, known officially as Lienchiang County, has become the seventh place in Taiwan to join the Cittaslow network. The Lienchiang County government says Dongyin qualified for the international Cittaslow movement, which promotes a slower pace of life through a community-centered approach that supports sustainability and counters (對抗、抵銷) the pressures of modern living to improve quality of life. Dongyin will be officially introduced to the Italy-based association on June 21st at the Cittaslow International Assembly in South Korea, with Dongyin officials invited to attend. Six places in Taiwan have received Cittaslow certification, including Hualien County's Fenglin Township in 2014, and Dalin Township in Chiayi County. CWA: Increasing Chances of Rain in Afternoon into Evening The Central Weather Administration is forecasting increasing chances of rain across the island this afternoon heading into the evening, as a frontal system approaches. The CWA says moisture is set to accumulate in the air today, leading to more clouds and sporadic (零星的) showers across northern, central areas as well as the eastern half of Taiwan. Temperatures will also feel muggy, with highs reaching 33 degrees Celsius. And according to the Ministry of the Environment, southeasterly winds may leave western Taiwan with a slightly higher level of pollutants in the air, and ozone concentratiosn are likely to rise in the afternoon. (NS) NPR Sues Trump for Federal Funding Cuts NPR has sued President Donald Trump over his executive order to end federal funding for NPR and PBS - claiming it violates the Constitution. The White House has not immediately responded to the lawsuit (訴訟). Toni Waterman has more. Turkey President Team Working on New Constitution to Remain in Power Turkey's president says he has appointed a team of legal experts to start working on a new constitution which critics say could allow him to remain in power beyond 2028, when his current (目前的) term ends. Erdogan has called for a new constitution, arguing that the current one, which was drafted following a military coup in 1980, is outdated and retains elements of military influence. He said Tuesday he had appointed 10 legal experts to draft a new charter. The effort comes months after the popular mayor of Istanbul and key Erdogan rival was arrested and jailed on corruption charges that are widely viewed as politically motivated. Netherlands Hals Paintings Returned A pair of paintings by Dutch Golden Age master Frans Hals, possibly depicting his own children, are returning to the Netherlands after more than a century overseas in the hands of private owners. “Boy Playing the Violin” and “Girl Singing,” were bought at auction Monday for $7.8 million by the Frans Hals Museum and the Mauritshuis museum, with financial support from the Dutch government and a group of foundations. Painted around 1628, the works are seen as an important part of the country's cultural heritage (遺產) and as especially interesting because Hals may have used his own children as models. The museums will alternate showing the works, but will always keep the two together. That was the I.C.R.T.

Eine Geografin und Segelfliegerin und ein Schreiner und Hackbrettspieler treffen sich in der Kunsthalle Appenzell, um bei Michèle Schönbächler von ihren ungewöhnlichen Berufen und Leidenschaften zu erzählen. Stefanie Hautle, Geografin und Segelfliegerin Auf einem Bauernhof aufgewachsen, hat sich die Appenzellerin schon als Jugendliche für das Fliegen interessiert – wieso überhaupt, kann nicht mal mehr sie rekonstruieren, denn niemand sonst aus der Familie teilte diese Leidenschaft. Mit 16 Jahren absolvierte sie bereits das Segelflugbrevet. Stefanie Hautle ist mehrfache Schweizermeisterin im Präzisionslanden. Nach dem Studium der Geografie verband sie ihre beiden Spezialgebiete, das Fliegen und das Kartografieren. Wenn sie aus dem Fenster schaut, sieht sie nicht Hügel, Seen und Bäume, sondern Höhenlinien, Hindernisse und Koordinaten. Heute ist sie Fachexpertin für das Geographische Informationssystem bei der Schweizer Armee und wohnt mit ihrer Tochter in einem alten, umgebauten Appenzeller Bauernhaus. Johannes Fuchs, Schreiner und Hackbrettbauer Der Appenzeller übernahm als junger Schreiner den Betrieb seines Vaters, der sich auf den Bau und die Reparatur von Hackbrettern spezialisiert hatte. Johannes Fuchs und ist einer von nur 3 Hackbrettbauer in der Schweiz. Nicht nur das, er erlernte bereits als Kind das Hackbrettspielen und konzertierte überall auf der Welt: in Australien, Asien, den USA und natürlich auch in der Schweiz. Dabei hat er die verrücktesten Geschichten erlebt, so dozierte er auch schon an einer Musikhochschule in China. Der 60-Jährige ist Vizepräsident der CWA, Cymbalom World Association, dem internationalen Hackbrettverband. Er lebt mit seiner Frau und den zwei Söhnen im Gebiet Sammelplatz bei Appenzell, wo er in seiner Werkstatt das Holz zurechtschneidet und die Saiten spannt. ____________________ Moderation: Michèle Schönbächler ____________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

Join Tim Kelly (Hausfeld) and Misha Tseytlin (Troutman Pepper Locke) as they unpack the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark decision in City and County of San Francisco v. EPA. The ruling struck down the EPA's use of “end-result” requirements in NPDES permits, ruling that the Clean Water Act (CWA) does not authorize the agency to impose permit conditions that hold dischargers responsible for overall water quality in receiving waters. The decision has significant implications for municipal wastewater treatment, regulatory enforcement, and the scope of the EPA's authority under the CWA. In this episode, they explore: The legal reasoning behind the Court's decision, including highlights from the majority and dissenting opinions The implications for municipal wastewater treatment plants, particularly those operating combined sewer systems How the decision impacts the EPA's regulatory powers and enforcement strategies What this means for the future of Clean Water Act litigation and the evolving role of state environmental agencies Whether you're a legal practitioner, environmental policy expert, or simply interested in water law, this episode offers valuable insight into a pivotal case reshaping federal environmental regulation.

On this episode of Save it for the Blind, hosts Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with two of California Waterfowl's leading waterfowl biologists—Brian Huber, Wood Duck Program Coordinator, and Jason Coslovich, Egg Salvage Program Coordinator—for an in-depth look at the science, stories, and successes behind CWA's critical conservation work. They cover the results of this year's pintail banding efforts, surprising data from the field, and how weather and habitat conditions shaped the season. The conversation also celebrates a major milestone: the banding of CWA's one-millionth wood duck—and what that achievement means for the future of waterfowl conservation. Brian and Jason also break down the Egg Salvage Program, explain how rocket netting works, and share incredible banding stories—from record-setting bird recoveries to rare hybrids spotted along the way. Plus, they offer advice on how hunters, landowners, and outdoor enthusiasts can support these vital programs and why reporting band recoveries makes a real difference for wildlife management. If you love ducks, science, and good stories, you won't want to miss this one!

Chad is back with Carson and Jeff from CWA, for part 2 of the conversation you won't want to miss. The guys shift gears from the blinds and boats to the cutting boards and cleaning tables. Chad and the crew talk through what happens after the hunt—processing birds, following the law, and doing right by the resource. Is there a perfect way to clean a duck? Maybe not. But doing it with respect and purpose matters more than most people realize. They dig into how new hunters, especially those driven by food, are leading the charge when it comes to using the whole bird, and how exciting that is for mentors to see. There's something special about that connection to the animal and the wild game lifestyle, and it's lighting a fire in this next generation. They cover everything from identification before pulling the trigger, and what you can do as a mentor to help with this process, the pros and cons of subgauges, and why mentorship, ethics, and setting the right example online are more important than ever. If you missed Part 1—hit that first. Then buckle up, because we're just gettin' warmed up!

We ain't sugarcoatin' it—waterfowl hunting ain't easy to get into. The gear, the regs, the access, the learning curve... it's enough to turn folks away before they ever get a decoy wet. But in this episode, we sit down with the badasses from California Waterfowl Association who are making damn sure the tradition doesn't die on our watch. From youth camps to veteran hunts, college outreach to first-time field days, the CWA crew is putting in the work—boots on the ground, blinds in the mud, boats in the Delta—to welcome a new wave of hunters into the lifestyle. We're talkin' about the full-circle moments, the tear-jerking first retrieves, and the look in a new hunter's eyes when the first greenhead backpedals over the spread. You'll hear how programs like Duck Camp and the Hunt Program are opening gates that used to be locked shut. Real access. Real mentorship. Real opportunities to chase specks, sprig, and mallards in some of the most iconic ground in the flyway. This one's a reminder of why we do it—and who we're doing it for. It's not just about the straps. It's about preserving the culture, passing it down, and makin' sure this lifestyle stays alive for generations to come.

On Tuesday, April 8, unions, unionized federal workers, and their supporters around the country mobilized for a national “Kill the Cuts” day of action to protest the Trump administration's cuts to life-saving research, healthcare, and education programs. As organizers stated on the Kill The Cuts website,  "By cutting funds to lifesaving research and medical care, the Trump administration is abandoning families who are suffering and costing taxpayers billions of dollars. These cuts are dangerous to our health, and dangerous to our economy. On Tuesday, April 8th, 2025 workers across the country are standing up and demanding NO cuts to education and life-saving research." In this on-the-ground edition of Working People, we take you to the front lines of the Kill the Cuts rally that took place in Washington DC, and we speak with workers and union representatives whose lives and work have already been affected by these cuts.Speakers include: Margaret Cook, Vice President of the Public, Healthcare, and Education Workers sector of the Communications Workers of America (CWA); Matt Brown, Recording Secretary of NIH Fellows United (United Auto Workers Local 2750); Rakshita Balaji, a post-baccalaureate researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and Amanda Dykema, shop steward for American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 1072 at the University of Maryland, College Park.Additional links/info:Kill the Cuts websiteNIH Fellows United websiteMaximillian Alvarez, Working People / The Real News Network, “What's really behind Trump's war on federal unions?”Jocelyn Kaiser, Science, “NIH under orders to cancel $2.6 billion in contracts”Permanent links below…Leave us a voicemail and we might play it on the show!Labor Radio / Podcast Network website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageIn These Times website, Facebook page, and Twitter pageThe Real News Network website, YouTube channel, podcast feeds, Facebook page, and Twitter pageFeatured Music…Jules Taylor, “Working People” Theme SongStudio Production: Maximillian AlvarezPost-Production: Jules TaylorBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.

In this case, the court considered this issue: Does the Clean Water Act allow the Environmental Protection Agency (or an authorized state) to impose generic prohibitions in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits that subject permit-holders to enforcement for violating water quality standards without identifying specific limits to which their discharges must conform?The case was decided on March 4, 2025.The Supreme Court held that the Clean Water Act does not authorize the EPA to include “end-result” provisions in wastewater discharge permits. Justice Samuel Alito authored the 5-4 majority opinion of the Court.First, while rejecting San Francisco's broader argument that all limitations must be “effluent limitations,” the Court focused on §1311(b)(1)(C)'s authorization of “any more stringent limitation” necessary to meet water quality standards. The terms “limitation,” “implement,” and “meet” in this provision require the EPA to specify concrete actions permittees must follow, not merely mandate end results without guidance. A proper “limitation” is a “restriction imposed from without,” not a directive that forces permittees to determine compliance measures themselves.Second, Congress deliberately abandoned the pre-1972 backward-looking approach that had directly penalized polluters for water quality violations. The CWA's “permit shield” provision, which protects compliant permittees from penalties, would be undermined if end-result requirements could expose permittees to massive penalties despite following all specified steps. Additionally, the EPA's interpretation offered no solution for fairly allocating responsibility among multiple dischargers affecting the same body of water. Determining necessary compliance steps is the EPA's responsibility, and Congress has provided the agency with sufficient tools to make these determinations without resorting to end-result requirements.Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson joined.The opinion is presented here in its entirety, but with citations omitted.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened down 156-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,574 on turnover of $5.4-billion N-T. Taiwanese Germans go to the polls Taiwanese nationals with German citizenship have cast their ballots in Germany's federal election Sunday for the first time. This follows a change in the country's Nationality Law last year that allows Germans with dual citizenship to vote. More than 200,000 citizenship applications were received by the government since the passage (通過) of the new law in June, including from a number of Taiwanese people. That's about two to three times higher than in previous years. Yushan North Peak Sees Rime Frost The Central Weather Administration says frost formations have been spotted on parts of Yushan, due to early morning low temperatures. The CWA says lows fell to "minus 5.2 degrees Celsius" on Taiwan's highest peak at around 5am today, and rime frost formed on surfaces on the mountain. Forecasters say the opaque (不透明的), granular deposits of ice crystals occur in foggy or cloudy conditions when the water droplets in the air freeze on cold surfaces. Temperatures on Yushan returned to 2.8 degrees at around 8am. (NS) Ukraine Zelenskyy on US Aid Deal Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says a contentious (有爭議的) U.S. proposal that would have seen $500 billion worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals given to the United States as compensation for its wartime assistance to Kyiv has been taken off the table. Zelenskyy told a forum in Kyiv on Sunday that he was open to brokering a deal that would let the U.S. profit from his country's minerals, but that the $500 billion sum initially proposed had been removed from the discussions. The Ukrainian leader said considering aid as a debt to be repaid would be a “Pandora's box” that would set a precedent requiring Kyiv to reimburse all its backers. U.S. officials have expressed confidence that a deal could be reached this week. US India Flight Diverted An American Airlines flight from New York to New Delhi lands safely in Rome after security concerns. Here's Julie Walker. Japan Emporer Calls for Telling WWII Tragedy to Young Gen Japan's Emperor Naruhito, marking his 65th birthday, stressed the importance to keep telling the tragedy of the World War II to younger generations. At the palace, Naruhito, accompanied by his wife, Empress Masako and their daughter Princess Aiko, waved from the palace balcony to thank for the cheering well-wishers. The emporer pledging to contribute (貢獻，出力) to the effort to promote understanding of the history and determination for peace as the world observes the 80th anniversary of the war's end. Later Sunday, he was to celebrate his birthday at a palace banquet. This year, Naruhito and Masako are expected to visit Hiroshima and Nagasaki to pay tribute to (表示敬意的舉動) those killed by the U.S. atomic bombings and Okinawa, the site of one of the harshest battles in the war.

On this Out of Bounds episode I chat with Derek Caldwell the founder/commissioner of Championship Wrestling Association, The Championship Wrestling Association is the premier professional folkstyle wrestling league in North America. We are creating opportunity for the American people to watch their favorite college wrestlers, in a style that is familiar to them. See wrestlers from your favorite college teams compete in a nine minute (3,3,3; yes you read that right), CWA folkstyle match. We are building something so that the best college wrestlers have the opportunity to compete professionally regardless of whether they are on the World/Olympic team or not. Often times, we have great American wrestlers who do not make a World team and we as fans lose sight of what they are doing on the mat because their story goes by the wayside. With the CWA, we look to keep their stories alive and well in the eyes of the American wrestling fan by giving them the opportunity to compete and be compensated while doing so. We talk about pulling from other sports, to create a unique event experience, using resourcefulness, and what he would do if he had the full power of USA Wrestling. Check this episode out today.

This week Nathan, Chris, and Luke convene on the eve – if we're measuring in podcast time – of Nathan's book release (Stream Big, available wherever books are sold) to talk mostly about other stuff. First up, Activision and former Activision CEO Bobby Kotick both got into dustups with CWA, the union that represents over 1,000 workers across Microsoft and Activision, with Kotick claiming that harassment suits against Activision Blizzard were “fake,” engineered to juice CWA membership, while – over here in the real world – CWA is working to get an Activision employee his job back after he was fired (allegedly) for talking about guns… at the company that makes Call of Duty. Hmmmm. Then we move on to Civilization VII, which Luke has many, many thoughts about, none of them positive. The game feels distinctly unfinished, he says – a sign of the times when even such a ubiquitous series no longer commands the time and resources necessary to emerge from the oven fully baked. After that, Chris tells us about a thing that rules: Lies of P, the Pinocchio-themed Bloodborne-like that's receiving DLC in the near future. Then we wrap it up by talking about our favorite interview moments, some of which might tie into Nathan's book (what are the odds?).    Credits - Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, & Luke Plunkett - Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude - Subscribe to Aftermath!

Ralph and the team invite cofounder of RootsAction, Norman Solomon, to autopsy the carcass of the Democratic Party after Donald Trump's decisive defeat of Kamala Harris in the presidential election. They dissect what happened on November 5th and report what needs to be done about it. Norman Solomon is co-founder of RootsAction.org and executive director of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of War Made Easy, Made Love, Got War, and his newest book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.The Democrats couldn't even get their base vote out that they got out in 2020. And what are they looking at? Are they looking at themselves in the mirror for introspection? Are they cleaning house? Do they have any plan whatsoever— other than collect more and more money from corporate PACS? This is a spectacular decline.Ralph NaderWe kept being told that party loyalty über alles, we had to stay in line with Biden. And…that lost precious months, even a year or a year and a half, when there could have been a sorting out in vigorous primaries. We were told that, "Oh, it would be terrible to have an inside-the-party primary system." Well, in 2020, there were 17 candidates, so there wasn't space on one stage on one night to hold them all—the debates would have to be in half. Well, it didn't really debilitate the party. Debate is a good thing. But what happened was this party loyalty, this obsequious kissing-the-presidential-feet dynamic allowed Biden to amble along until it became incontrovertible that he wasn't capable.Norman SolomonA lot of people on that committee—and of course, running the DNC—they and their pals had this pass-through of literally millions of dollars of consultant fees. Win, lose, or draw. It's like General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, they never lose a war. And so, these corporate donors, they never lose a presidential race. They didn't lose what happened with Harris and Trump. They cashed in, they made out like the corporate bandits that they are.Norman SolomonOne reality as an activist that I've come to the conclusion on in the last couple of decades is that progressives tend to be way too nice to Democrats in Congress, especially those that they consider to be allies. Because they like what some of the Democrats do…and so they give too many benefits of the doubt. It's like grading them on a curve. We can't afford to grade them on a curve.Norman SolomonIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantisNews 11/6/241. As of now, Donald Trump is projected to win the 2024 presidential election by a greater margin than 2016. In addition to winning back Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona, Trump also appears to have flipped Nevada – which went for both Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. Most shocking of all, Trump has won the national popular vote, something he failed to do in 2016 and 2020 and which no Republican has done in 20 years. Democrats also faced a bloodbath in the Senate elections, with Republicans on track to win a 54 seat majority in the upper chamber.2. Bucking tremendous party pressure, Representative Rashida Tlaib declined to endorse Kamala Harris at a United Autoworkers rally in Michigan just days before the election, POLITICO reports. Tlaib urged attendees to turn out but “kept her speech focused on down-ballot races.” Tlaib is the only member of “the Squad” to withhold her support for Harris and the only Palestinian member of Congress. She has been a staunch critic of the Biden Administration's blind support for Israel's campaign of genocide in Palestine and voted Uncommitted in the Michigan Democratic primary.3. Along similar lines, the Uncommitted Movement issued a fiery statement on the eve of the election. According to the group, “Middle East Eye ran a story…[which] contains unfounded and absurd claims, suggesting that Uncommitted made a secret agreement with the Democratic Party to not endorse a third-party candidate.” The statement goes on to say that “this baseless story…is misguided at best and a dishonest malicious attack at worst.” Uncommitted maintains that “leaders and delegates are voting in different ways, yet remain untied in their mission to stop the endless flow of American weapons fueling Israel's militarism.” In September, Uncommitted publicly stated that they would not endorse Kamala Harris, citing her continued support for the Biden Administration policy toward Israel, but urged supporters to vote against Donald Trump.4. Progressive International reports that over 50 sovereign nations have called for an immediate arms embargo on Israel, calling it “a legal, humanitarian and moral imperative to put an end to grave human suffering.” This letter cites the “staggering toll of civilian casualties, the majority of them children and women, due to ongoing breaches of international law by Israel, the occupying Power,” and warns of “regional destabilization that risks the outbreak of an all-out war in the region.” Signatories on this letter include Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Norway, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Cuba, Bolivia, and China among many others.5. Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Cori Bush have sent a letter to President Biden accusing him of illegally involving the American armed forces in Israel's war without proper Congressional authorization. Per the accompanying statement, “The Biden administration has deepened U.S. involvement in the Israeli government's devastating regional war through comprehensive intelligence sharing and operational coordination, and now even the direct deployment of U.S. servicemembers to Israel. Not only do these actions encourage further escalation and violence, but they are unauthorized by Congress, in violation of Article I of the Constitution and the War Powers Resolution of 1973.” The letter concludes “The Executive Branch cannot continue to ignore the law…In the absence of an immediate ceasefire and end of hostilities, Congress retains the right and ability to exercise its Constitutional authority to direct the removal of any and all unauthorized Armed Forces from the region pursuant to Section 5(c) of the War Powers Resolution.” This letter was endorsed by an array of groups ranging from the Quincy Institute to Jewish Voice for Peace to the Presbyterian and Methodist Churches, and signed by other pro-Palestine members of Congress including Ilhan Omar, Summer Lee, and André Carson – though notably not AOC.6. In a story that touches on both the election and labor issues, the New York Times Tech Guild voted to go on strike Monday morning. The Times Tech Guild, which represents “workers like software developers and data analysts,” at the Times negotiated until late Sunday night, particularly regarding “whether the workers could get a ‘just cause' provision in their contract…pay increases and pay equity; and return-to-office policies,” per the New York Times. The Guardian reports “The Tech Guild's roughly 600 members are in charge of operating the back-end systems that power the paper's…[coverage of] the presidential election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump – but also the hundreds of House and dozens of Senate races across the US that will determine who will secure control of Washington in 2025.” Kathy Zhang, the guild's unit chair, said in a statement “[The Times] have left us no choice but to demonstrate the power of our labor on the picket line…we stand ready to bargain and get this contract across the finish line.”7. In more labor news, AP reports the striking Boeing machinists have “voted to accept a contract offer and end their strike after more than seven weeks, clearing the way for the aerospace giant to resume production.” The deal reportedly includes “a 38% wage increase over four years, [as well as] ratification and productivity bonuses.” That said, Boeing apparently “refused to meet strikers' demand to restore a company pension plan that was frozen nearly a decade ago.” According to a Bank of America analysis, Boeing was losing approximately $50 million per day during the strike, a startling number by any measure. The union's District 751 President Jon Holden told members “You stood strong and you stood tall and you won,” yet calibration specialist Eep Bolaño said the outcome was “most certainly not a victory…We were threatened by a company that was crippled, dying, bleeding on the ground, and us as one of the biggest unions in the country couldn't even extract two-thirds of our demands from them. This is humiliating.”8. Huffington Post Labor Reporter Dave Jamieson reports “The [National Labor Relations Board] has filed a complaint against Grindr alleging the dating app used a new return-to-office policy to fire dozens of workers who were organizing.” He further reports that NLRB General Counsel Jennifer Abruzzo is seeking a “Cemex order” which would “force the company to bargain with the [Communications Workers of America].” In a statement, CWA wrote “We hope this NLRB filing sends a clear message to Grindr that…we are committed to negotiating fair working conditions in good faith. As we continue to build and expand worker power at Grindr, this win…is a positive step toward ensuring that Grindr remains a safe, inclusive, and thriving place for users and workers alike.”9. In further positive news from federal regulators, NBC's Today reports “On Oct. 25, the United States Copyright Office granted a copyright exemption that gives restaurants like McDonald's the “right to repair” broken machines by circumventing digital locks that prevent them from being fixed by anyone other than its manufacturer.” As this piece explains, all of McDonald's ice cream machines – which have become a punchline for how frequently they are out of service – are owned and operated by the Taylor Company since 1956. Moreover “The…company holds a copyright on its machines…[meaning] if one broke, only [Taylor Company] repair people were legally allowed to fix it…due to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act…a 1998 law that criminalizes making or using technology, devices or services that circumvent the control access of copyrighted works.” This move from the Copyright Office reflects a larger pattern of regulators recognizing the issues with giving companies like Taylor monopolistic free reign over sectors of the economy and blocking consumers – in this case fast food franchisees – from repairing machines themselves. With backing from public interest groups like U.S. PIRG, the Right to Repair movement continues to pick up steam. We hope Congress will realize that this is a political slam dunk.10. Finally, in an astounding story of vindication, Michael and Robert Meeropol – sons of Ethel Rosenberg, who was convicted of and executed for passing secrets to the Soviet Union – claim that long-sought records have definitively cleared their mother's name. Per Bloomberg, “A few months ago, the National Security Agency sent the Meeropols a box of records the spy agency declassified…Inside was a seven-page handwritten memo…The relevant passage…is just eight words: ‘she did not engage in the work herself.'” Put simply, Rosenberg was wrongfully convicted and put to death for a crime she did not commit. The article paints the picture of the men uncovering this key piece of evidence. “After he read it, Robert said his eyes welled up. “Michael and I looked at it and our reaction was, ‘We did it.'”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
