This Day in Legal History: Nazi Leaders Convicted at NurembergOn September 30, 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its final verdicts, marking a pivotal moment in legal history. The tribunal, established by the Allied powers after World War II, tried 24 high-ranking Nazi officials for crimes against peace, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Of those tried, 22 were found guilty. These included prominent Nazi figures such as Hermann Göring, Rudolf Hess, and Joachim von Ribbentrop. The Nuremberg Trials were the first of their kind to hold government officials individually accountable for atrocities committed under state authority, laying the groundwork for modern international criminal law.The court sentenced 12 of the defendants to death by hanging, while others received long prison sentences. Three were acquitted. These proceedings also set legal precedents, defining acts like genocide and war crimes more clearly in the context of international law. Nuremberg solidified the principle that following orders is not a defense for committing atrocities, a key doctrine in future human rights cases. The trials emphasized accountability, no matter how high the official's rank, and underscored the need for justice following war and genocide.Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Republicans have launched a wide-ranging legal campaign to challenge voting processes, with particular focus on states like Arizona, where the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is extremely tight. A lawsuit by the America First Legal Foundation, founded by Trump advisor Stephen Miller, seeks to empower courts to nullify election results due to procedural errors by local officials and order new rounds of voting. This case, which legal experts view as a long shot, reflects a broader Republican strategy to sow doubts about the election's legitimacy before votes are cast. The Republican National Committee is involved in over 120 lawsuits across 26 states, aiming to impose stricter voting rules, which they argue will restore faith in election integrity.Republicans, still asserting widespread fraud in the 2020 election despite court rejections, are pursuing these challenges earlier than in 2020, attempting to preemptively influence election outcomes. Legal experts warn that these lawsuits could cause chaos and confusion, potentially opening doors for political intervention in election results. Democrats argue the efforts are designed to undermine trust in the election system in case of Republican losses, while both sides are gearing up for further legal battles over voting restrictions and access.Republicans lay legal groundwork for election challenges | ReutersEpic Games has accused Google and Samsung of conspiring to limit competition in the app market, filing a lawsuit in U.S. federal court. The suit centers around Samsung's Auto Blocker, a mobile security feature that Epic claims discourages users from downloading apps outside of Google's Play Store and Samsung's Galaxy Store. Epic argues this reduces consumer choice and violates U.S. antitrust laws by making it harder for users to access potentially cheaper apps from rival sources. Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said Google falsely positions itself as protecting users by blocking apps from “unknown sources,” despite previously distributing "Fortnite" itself.Samsung, which introduced Auto Blocker in late 2023 as a security measure, denies the allegations and claims the feature is designed for user safety. The company stated that users can disable Auto Blocker if desired. Epic believes the feature undermines a U.S. court ruling in December 2023, which was expected to increase app availability from third-party sources. Epic plans to raise these concerns with EU regulators, citing Google's long-standing scrutiny over anticompetitive practices. This follows Epic's earlier legal battles with Google and Apple over high app store commissions, which led to "Fortnite" being temporarily banned from both platforms.Epic Games accuses Samsung, Google of scheme to block app rivals | ReutersJudge Colm F. Connolly recently criticized lawyers in a patent-funding investigation, suggesting they were not truly representing their client, Lori LaPray, a Texas paralegal who owns Backertop Licensing LLC. LaPray owes a $53,000 contempt fine for failing to appear in court, linked to Connolly's probe into patent-monetization firm IP Edge LLC. The judge maintained the fine but implied LaPray was a pawn in a larger scheme orchestrated by IP Edge and advised her to seek independent legal counsel. Connolly's actions are rare, with legal experts noting that questioning an attorney's loyalty to a client in open court could lead to wider scrutiny of their conduct. The investigation focuses on whether IP Edge and related entities, like Mavexar LLC, have violated court disclosure requirements designed to ensure transparency about who benefits from patent litigation. Connolly has already sanctioned multiple attorneys involved in IP Edge cases and warned that reducing LaPray's fine would signal tolerance for deception. The judge has referred several cases to the Justice Department, reflecting his broader effort to address misconduct in patent litigation, which critics say often obscures the real parties behind lawsuits. Connolly's approach contrasts with other judges who may not prioritize uncovering the true interests in litigation, despite concerns over transparency.Judge's Rare Rebuke of Lawyers Shakes Up Patent-Funding Probe This is a public episode.

Link to article: https://bit.ly/3b51qnGSteam Selecting To Not Mess With NFT's. I'm Curious If It Will Hurt ThemEpic Games and its CEO Tim Sweeney are open to letting games that use blockchain technology and NFTs onto its PC store, even as NFTs continue to be criticized for being a giant, planet-burning scam filled with grifters. This follows Valve's decision to remove and ban all games that utilize NFTs and blockchain technology. It also follows earlier statements from Epic's CEO which said Epic wouldn't touch NFTs due to scams.Epic Games told The Verge that, although there might be some limitations, it is open to working with devs who want to use blockchain technology, NFTs, and cryptocurrencies in games that could appear on the publisher's digital storefront.Epic CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted a statement following The Verge's publication of a story about his company's interest in allowing NFT tech on its storefront stating that the “Epic Games Store will welcome games that make use of blockchain tech provided they follow the relevant laws, disclose their terms, and are age-rated by an appropriate group.”Now, a few weeks later, it seems Epic and its CEO are actually totally open to NFTs. But don't worry Sweeney had an explanation for this contradiction. Not a good explanation, mind you.Support the show (https://bit.ly/2XdAlJC)

The "Epic vs Apple" opinion is not quite ready for public consumption, but as other developers agree to settlements and Epic CEO Tim Sweeney tries to box Apple into a corner, there's no question that even the trial court's decision is not likely to end this particular fight.

Please welcome back to the show our good friend and the main who bails tableoc.com out of hot water regularly red_foxx15Streaming NewsTwitch uncovers 7.5 million viewing botsTwitch Streamers listen up! Twitch has removed 7.5 million of those annoying bots that make their way into your chats!From CNET.Follow-bots are used to improve a streamer's follow numbers while viewer-bots inflate the current number of viewers watching a stream, which can help boost a channel's discovery chances on the platform. Twitch says it will enforce its terms of service on these bot accounts, including taking legal action if necessary, which may lower a channel's follower and viewer counts in the coming days.Machine learning helped sniff out these bots, and Twitch says it will improve operations going forward. While some streamers looking to boost their numbers may purchase these viewer- and follower-bots in the lesser-known places on the internet, there are users who use these bots to troll certain channels. A stream could find their chat flooded with spam by the bots and this could lead to other issues if the channel gets reported for a TOS violation.Interestingly enough xQc lost 2 million followers from the ban.Matty - Have you ever had the misfortune of getting botted?Twitch loses lawsuit to banned streamer PhantomL0rdFormer Twitch streamer James ‘PhantomL0rd' Vargas has won his lawsuit against the site for banning him back in 2016, but he's received much less than the $35 million settlement he was originally seeking.Vargas was banned by Twitch all the way back in 2016 during the site's crackdown on CSGO gambling streams. Twitch said at the time of the ban that he was misleading viewers in regards to skin gambling in CSGO.The streamer wholeheartedly denied all of it and sued Twitch, seeking $35 million in damages for removing him from the platform for “unsubstantiated, false accusations,” with the court battle beginning in 2019.In the end, PhantomL0rd won his lawsuit on all counts, receiving $20,720.34 in total damages from Twitch according to court documents — a win for sure, though not exactly the $35 million he was originally going for.However, based on his reaction to the verdict on Twitter, monetary gains don't seem to have been his main reason for the lawsuit: Sending a message was.“I WON! Twitch LOST EVERYTHING, including the fraud claim against me for the CSGOShuffle allegations!” PhantomL0rd posted on Twitter. “This is a win for ALL streamers! Twitch can't bully, lie & treat streamers unfairly the way they have for years!”Foxx - Do you think this will lead to more streamers pursuing Twitch legally?https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/tiny-twitch-streamer-makes-over-85000-after-raid-by-crypto-enthusiasts-1555258/2 things near and dear to my heart. Streaming and crypto.A small Twitch streamer who was playing guitar to a handful of people had one of the craziest nights of his life after being donated over $85,000 when crypto fanatics showed up in his chat.going into his stream on April 15, Cameron Ferguson had no idea he would have one of the most successful nights anyone has ever had on Twitch, and it's because he was noticed by Cobie, who has the Twitter handle CryptoCobain, and hosts a show called Up Early.During Cobie's stream, he was looking for smaller streamers and stumbled across Cameron Ferguson playing music for a few people and decided to raid him.That's not all that happened, however, he also instructed the streamer to create a Twitter account, get on the cryptocurrency app Blockfolio and put his address in his bio so others could donate to him.From there, the money just started to roll in and completely change the tiny streamer's life.Stump - Pretty crazy and generous of these crypto streamers and fans to do this for this streamer.Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by our merch store!OBS gets native support for Nvidia's excellent noise-canceling techStreamers Keep listening. We have some great news coming from Nvidia as their noise cancelling tech is getting some integration into OBS.From the VergeOpen Broadcaster Software (OBS), the go-to software for streamers, is getting native support for Nvidia's excellent noise-removal technology, the graphics card manufacturer announced today. Although it was previously possible to get the same effect by combining OBS with Nvidia's Broadcast software, you'll now be able to adjust the background noise-removal feature directly from within OBS. It's currently available with the beta version of OBS Studio 27 and will be coming in a full release soon.According to Nvidia's announcement, you'll need to download its Broadcast Audio Effects SDK to get the feature to work with the new beta version of OBS Studio 27. However, when the latest version of OBS leave beta, Nvidia says the feature will be fully integrated and won't require a separate download. You'll also need Nvidia's latest game-ready driver.The new integration arrived with Nvidia's latest game-ready driver, which also adds support for Mortal Shell's RTX update as well as six new G-Sync-compatible displays.Matty - This is a great tool for people with audio issues. What other integrations would you like to see with obs?Microsoft to Buy Speech-Recognition Company Nuance for $19.7 BillionCould Voice commands  be the next big upgrade for Microsoft Operating systems??From VarietyMicrosoft said it clinched a deal to buy Nuance Communications, a pioneering voice-recognition tech company, in an all-cash transaction valued at $19.7 billion, inclusive of Nuance's net debt.It would be the second-biggest acquisition for Microsoft behind its $26 billion deal for LinkedIn in 2016. Microsoft expects the deal to close in calendar year 2021, subject to approval by Nuance's shareholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.Microsoft had created its own voice-based virtual assistant, Cortana. Two years ago, the tech giant announced it would no longer try to compete with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant in the consumer market, and instead shifted to integrate Cortana into its suite of productivity applications.Microsoft says the deal will accelerate its ability to provide cloud-based solutions specifically to the healthcare industry. “Nuance provides the AI layer at the healthcare point of delivery and is a pioneer in the real-world application of enterprise AI,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. “AI is technology's most important priority, and healthcare is its most urgent application.”Nuance's software formed the basis of Apple's Siri voice assistant, which debuted in 2011, before Apple brought development of the technology in-house.Stump - Where do you think they will take this tech next after medicine?Epic Games Store expands to carry Windows apps like Brave and DiscordEpic is adding five new PC apps to its Epic Games Store launcher today, in a fresh bid to offer more than just games. Indie game store Itch.io is arriving on Epic Games Store today, alongside open-source browser Brave, streaming radio app iHeartRadio, 3D model tool KenShape, and open-source painting app Krita. These are Epic Games Store's first new PC apps since Spotify launched in December.Epic Games is promising to add more PC apps in the future, including communications app Discord. There's even a new section in the Epic Games Store dedicated to PC apps, so it's clear Epic has ambitions to run its own Windows store here. That's not entirely surprising, as Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has long called for open app models and stores on Windows. Microsoft's own Windows store has failed to become a popular location for the vast amount of Windows apps and games, and popular apps like Adobe Creative Suite, Chrome, Discord, and Zoom aren't even in the Windows app store.This approach is also what Epic Games wants to see elsewhere with app stores.

It's like the James Gordon show.”Brubaker's comments suggest that Jeffrey Wright, who plays Gordon in Reeves' Batman, may play the officer again in the spinoff series, but no casting information has been announced as of yet.Further details about the Gotham PD spinoff remain scarce, with no release date announced, and Reeves' Batman film suffering delays due to COVID-19.Foxx - What are you looking for from an HBO Batman spinoff?Spider-Man Will Finally Come to Disney Plus With New Deal - But After NetflixNerds can rejoice! Spiderman is coming to Disney plusFrom IGNThough Disney Plus has been the streaming home for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and entries from other Marvel series like X-Men and Fantastic Four, Sony's Spider-Man movies have been a conspicuous absence from the platform's library — until now. Future Spider-Man titles, along with other Sony films, will join Disney's library in the future, as Disney and Sony have reached a new licensing agreement.The deal comes almost two weeks after Sony Pictures and Netflix have signed a multi-year contract to give Netflix first-run rights to Sony films after they play in theaters. The new Disney deal covers the period after that, meaning theatrical releases from 2022 to 2026 will head to Disney's streaming services and other television networks (FX, ABC, etc) after they leave Netflix. The package only covers U.S. markets.Stump - The landscape is changing on how these companies are cooperating.
