This episode of Litigation Nation covers several notable legal news stories, including a copyright infringement lawsuit against the cookie company Crumble, upcoming US Supreme Court hearings on the ability of lower courts to issue nationwide injunctions, a recent case involving lawyers misusing AI to generate legal citations, and a humorous anecdote about a law firm using a large cartoon dragon watermark in their court filings.Copyright Infringement in Social Media Marketing: Companies are increasingly using popular music in social media content for marketing, raising complex copyright issues, especially regarding the distinction between personal and commercial use licenses on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.Scope of Lower Court Injunctions: The US Supreme Court is set to hear arguments on the controversial issue of whether lower courts can issue nationwide injunctions against federal policies or if their relief must be limited to the specific parties before the court. This issue has become politicized and is particularly relevant in the context of immigration policy.Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Legal Practice: The misuse of generative AI by lawyers to draft legal documents, specifically the hallucination of fake case citations, continues to be a problem leading to sanctions and highlighting the critical need for lawyers to verify AI-generated content.Adherence to Court Rules and Professionalism: Judge Rejects Lawsuit With Dragon Logo, Calling It ‘Juvenile and Impertinent'The legal landscape continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements, political dynamics, and novel applications of existing laws. The cases discussed in this episode highlight critical issues facing the legal profession and the judiciary, from navigating the complexities of intellectual property in the digital age to grappling with the appropriate scope of judicial power and the ethical integration of AI into legal practice. The upcoming Supreme Court arguments on nationwide injunctions, in particular, represent a potentially significant development with broad implications for federal policy implementation and the balance of power between the branches of government. The episode serves as a reminder for legal professionals and the public alike to be aware of these evolving legal challenges and the importance of upholding established legal principles and ethical standards.

SoundCloud cambia sus políticas para permitir el uso de contenido de usuarios en el entrenamiento de inteligencia artificial, generando controversia y preocupación entre artistas  Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCoSoundCloud, una plataforma mundialmente conocida para compartir música y podcasts, ha actualizado sus términos de uso, permitiendo que el contenido subido por los usuarios se use para entrenar inteligencia artificial. Esto significa que las canciones, mezclas y audios que los artistas y creadores suben al servicio ahora pueden ser utilizados para mejorar y desarrollar tecnologías de IA. Pero este cambio va más allá de SoundCloud: se une a una tendencia global donde plataformas como YouTube, LinkedIn y X (antes Twitter) también han actualizado sus políticas para permitir el uso de contenido de usuarios en IA. La gran diferencia es que SoundCloud permite este uso incluso sin el consentimiento explícito de los artistas. ¿Cómo afecta esto a los creadores? ¿Pueden proteger su contenido en un mundo cada vez más dominado por la inteligencia artificial? ¿Está en riesgo el futuro de la música independiente en plataformas digitales?  Artistas descubren y reaccionan ante las nuevas políticas de SoundCloud.  SoundCloud es una de las plataformas de música y audio más populares del mundo. Fundada en 2007 en Alemania, se convirtió rápidamente en un espacio para que artistas independientes y creadores de contenido compartieran su música y otros audios. Miles de músicos y DJs usaron SoundCloud para lanzar sus carreras, y muchos encontraron seguidores leales gracias a la facilidad para compartir y descubrir música nueva. Pero en 2024, la empresa actualizó sus términos de servicio, permitiendo que el contenido de los usuarios se use para entrenar inteligencia artificial.El cambio fue notado por expertos en ética tecnológica y rápidamente se viralizó en redes sociales. Los artistas comenzaron a preguntar si sus canciones podían ser utilizadas sin su consentimiento para entrenar modelos de inteligencia artificial. Esto provocó una ola de preocupación, especialmente entre músicos independientes, quienes sienten que su trabajo podría ser explotado sin una compensación justa.  El cambio en las políticas de SoundCloud no fue anunciado de manera destacada. Los usuarios descubrieron la modificación por publicaciones de expertos y redes sociales. Los términos ahora indican que el contenido subido puede ser utilizado para “informar, entrenar, desarrollar o servir como entrada para tecnologías de inteligencia artificial o servicios de aprendizaje automático”.Muchos artistas sintieron que sus creaciones estaban siendo utilizadas sin su permiso explícito y comenzaron a eliminar sus canciones de la plataforma. Esto generó una fuerte reacción en redes sociales, donde músicos como el dúo The Flight decidieron borrar su contenido y cerrar sus cuentas. Otros usuarios compartieron guías sobre cómo proteger su contenido y minimizar el riesgo de que sea usado para entrenamiento de IA.  Ante la reacción de los usuarios, SoundCloud aclaró que su política no significa que actualmente esté usando contenido para entrenar modelos de IA. La empresa explicó que los cambios son para permitir el uso de IA dentro de su propia plataforma, mejorando recomendaciones, organizando contenido, detectando fraudes y optimizando la identificación de contenido.SoundCloud aseguró que los acuerdos con sellos discográficos, como Universal Music y Warner Music Group, garantizan que la música de esos artistas no será usada para entrenamiento de IA. Pero muchos creadores independientes siguen preocupados, temiendo que sus canciones sean utilizadas sin su autorización y sin recibir ningún tipo de compensación.  SoundCloud no es la única empresa que ha cambiado sus políticas para permitir el entrenamiento de IA. En 2024, LinkedIn modificó sus términos para permitir que los datos de sus usuarios fueran usados para entrenar IA. X (antes Twitter) hizo lo mismo, y YouTube también comenzó a permitir que terceros entrenen IA usando fragmentos de videos de usuarios.Los críticos argumentan que las plataformas deben ser más transparentes y permitir que los usuarios opten por no participar en estos usos de sus contenidos. Mientras tanto, algunos músicos buscan alternativas en plataformas que ofrezcan mayor control sobre sus derechos.  SoundCloud cambió sus políticas para permitir el uso de contenido de usuarios en el entrenamiento de IA, generando preocupación entre artistas. ¿Debería SoundCloud ofrecer una opción clara para que los usuarios decidan si su contenido puede ser usado en IA?Escucha más análisis como este en el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify: Flash Diario en Spotify  BibliografíaTechCrunchFast CompanyPitchforkConviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.

Landing Your Dream Marketing Role in the #RemoteEra Most marketing execs are getting ghosted in 2025—but the ones scoring Director to CMO roles are doing way more. I'll show you the exact moves that land $250K calls, even remotely. Hi, I'm Melissa Llarena, and welcome back to the podcast. For over a decade, I've helped ambitious marketing executives and advertising leaders land their dream careers through my global job search coaching firm, Career Outcomes Matter, launched in 2011. I'm back, better than ever, with strategies that work right now—and today, we're tackling how you can stand out in this cutthroat #RemoteEra or #Hybrid job market. Let's get real—this isn't your average job advice. In 2025, landing those rare, high-stakes marketing roles isn't about just sending a resume, cover letter, or even thoughtfully updating applications. It's about outworking and out-strategizing the competition. Let me ask you something to set the stage… Would YOU have stayed on the Titanic, knowing you had a chance to get off before the last lifeboat was filled? Hoping you'd survive icy waters isn't smart—and neither is letting your marketing career sink when you could turn it around. You wouldn't watch a campaign fail if you knew how to save it, right? The same goes for your career, especially in today's #RemoteEra or #Hybrid world. As a high-performing marketer or job seeker, you're in a race—and it's tougher than ever to land Director-level and above roles, especially if you're a working parent or world-class aunt eyeing flexibility. But here's the truth I've seen and helped my clients achieve: the marketers getting interviews and calls in 2025 aren't just applying—they're bringing market analysis, SOPs, portfolios, and 90–100 day plans that blow hiring leaders away. That's how you prove you're worth multiple rounds and a salary at the top end of $130K–$285K+. Imagine cutting your job search short, writing that resignation letter, and avoiding a layoff. That's the edge I give my clients—and I'm sharing it with you today.” Let's get specific—here are four high-level marketing roles I know will attract top talent in 2025, where the differentiator is the candidate who brings the goods. These are the exact deliverables I've helped my clients create, present, and land with, along with quick pro tips based on what impresses hiring leaders: Headspace - Principal Brand Strategist, $130K–$183K base: Bring a one-page analysis of the mental health ecosystem—why Headspace beats Calm or other apps—and show how branding creates a utilization halo effect. Director of Marketing, Advisory Practice at Acquisition.com, Las Vegas, NV (Hybrid), $150K–$180K base: Prove you can lead with praise, not punishment, and explain how you'd contribute to Alex's $1B-plus vision in 36 months or less. SVP, Marketing Enablement at Warner Music Group, $210K–$285K base: Bring a framework showing how you'd lead a full marketing service provider audit. Chief of Staff, Marketing at IBM (Salary not posted): Dive into CMO Clay's vision—check his talks—and understand how McKinsey trains leaders, since you'll likely compete with McKinsey alums or IBM insiders. *All roles can be found on LinkedIn. They are live as of March 3rd, 2025.* These moves are what's working now to land $285K calls, even remotely. That's the ‘doing more' that gets you noticed in 2025. How do I know this works? I launched Career Outcomes Matter in 2011 to coach global marketing leaders like you, wrote Fertile Imagination—a #1 Amazon bestseller in 2023—to inspire storytelling for dream careers, and I've hosted icons like Beth Comstock and GaryVee on this podcast early on. Recently, I earned my meditation certification after a two-year program to support clients through high-stress transitions. I've dedicated my life to learning and teaching the art of relationship-building—and now, I'm back with strategies that give you the edge in this brutal job market. Listen, if you're a serious marketing executive ready to stop getting ghosted and land your dream $150K+ role—or boost your income by 25%—I'm here to help. I'm enrolling a max of 10 ambitious marketing leaders into my 9-week group coaching program, starting this Sunday, March 9, 2025. It's a 2-week risk-free trial, and if you join by March 31st, I'll personally rewrite your resume or LinkedIn profile for free—that's a $1,500 value. Book a 15-minute job search fit session with me today at www.melissallarena.com/sessions. I've got tons of slots open in the next 48-hours, and I'd love to see if this is the right fit for you—or anyone you know who's frustrated with their boss, worried about layoffs, stalled on promotions, or feeling stuck. Let's turn your career into the success story it's meant to be. I'm Melissa Llarena, and I can't wait to help you win. A client was on a sinking ship in the energy sector and here's what she said about our partnership.... From A Sinking Ship Company in The Energy Sector To A Remote Strategic Partnerships Role In A Top Tier Business School I did get the offer as you know = great result!! The back-and-forth collaboration on interview questions and answers was powerful for me. I liked that you kept me accountable. I would have dragged my feet a lot longer. By investing in coaching this made me cut through my excuses and motivated me to go above and beyond by preparing for an interview 10x more than what I have ever done before. I got my dream job and the hiring manager told me how impressed everyone was and how my performance was heads above the other candidates who were MORE experienced in the function. My work is quite fun. It's rewarding work, fantastic people, ramping up some new skills and the lifestyle is to die for. Thank you, Melissa for our partnership."

For the last 18 years the vinyl record industry in the U.S. has sustained a continuous uptick in sales. So when a report last month by Luminate, the leading music industry source for tracking music consumption, indicated a precipitous 33% drop during the first half of 2024, it caused quite a stir. Since then, Luminate has retracted its original report, and followed up with a corrected report saying vinyl sales were actually up 2.2% in 2024.To find why this happened, we speak with Chris Muratore, Director at Luminate and music industry insider Billy Fields from Warner Music Group.Ultimately counting record sales isn't as easy as it may seem. Although Luminate gets accurate accounting of record sales from major online websites and big box retailers, sales from independent record stores (“indies”) are harder to come by. That wouldn't be such a big deal, except for the fact that an estimated 40% of record sales are from indies in the U.S. So with only a small fraction of indies reporting vinyl sales, Luminate has always estimated the indie portion in its reports. But how they estimate matters.A small change in Luminate's estimation algorithm caused a dramatic turn of events. But there is more to the story of vinyls resurgence, so we hope you'll tune in to take a deep dive into the vinyl music industry.Thank you to our sponsors SVS and Q Acoustics!

Kelly shares her career journey, starting as a sports writer and transitioning into content design roles in nonprofit, sports, and tech sectors. With over a decade of experience, she offers rich insights into how content design differs from other design disciplines and the immense value of user and content testing. From her time at Eventbrite, Kelly reveals surprising insights uncovered through content testing and how small changes in language can lead to significant improvements in user engagement. She emphasizes the importance of understanding user motivations and behaviors and how these insights can guide effective content design decisions. Listeners will learn how to balance qualitative and quantitative data, prioritize content testing in fast-paced projects, and maintain brand consistency across various touchpoints. Kelly's practical advice for content designers and UX professionals highlights the long-term impact of a user-centered approach and offers actionable strategies for integrating content testing into design processes. Key Themes and Ideas Discussed: Content Design Journey: Kelly discusses her path from sports writing to content design, reflecting on how her love for words and human behavior led her into the field of UX writing and content design. The Role of Content Design in User Experiences: Kelly highlights how content design is fundamentally different from other design disciplines, emphasizing that without the right words, a design may lose its effectiveness. She underscores the importance of clarity and using language that speaks to the user intuitively and humanly. Power of Content Testing: One of the core ideas Kelly shares is the importance of testing content before it goes live. She provides examples of how simple wording changes during her time at Eventbrite significantly impacted user engagement, including a 30% increase in click-through rates from a headline change. Balancing Qualitative and Quantitative Data: Kelly discusses the balance between qualitative insights from content testing and quantitative data like click-through rates. She explains how each type of data informs content decisions and drives user-centric design. Designing for User Motivation: A key insight Kelly shares is understanding and addressing user motivations. She explains how focusing on what users are trying to accomplish, rather than just delivering a product, can elevate the overall experience. Consistency and Personalization in Content: The episode covers strategies for maintaining a consistent brand voice while tailoring content to different user scenarios. Kelly introduces the concept of a “tone dial,” where the intensity of the brand's tone is adjusted based on the user's interaction. Advice for New Content Designers: Kelly encourages content designers to start testing early, even with time constraints, and to focus on building strong relationships with cross-functional teams like engineers and product managers to drive AB testing and other content experiments.

Gonzalez, an incarcerated Sinaloan cartel member that had his lawsuit demanding $666k (sus) in damages as compensation for the biz he lost after allegedly getting blacklisted in the streets of NYC once he refused to traffick "boys / girls" for the Diddler dismissed by the presiding judge (sadly)... Fellow convict Cardello-Smith was much luckier (himself in prison on sex crime & unrelated kidnapping charges), as he received an initial $100 mil default judgment in his favor as Diddy failed to show up for the court proceedings or file a responsive motion. In the solo intro, we also go pretty deep on illustrating the interlocking ties between Z i o n i s t powerbroking families the Lauders (Estée Lauder) and the Bronfmans (Seagrams & otherwise) which brings the Diddler's close proximity to the Epstein-affiliated Mega Group into full view... As well as Harvey Weinstein. Illustrating how all of these entries in Diddy's Rolodex intersect both in the corporeal sense at his lavish, salacious Sean John x Estée Lauder fragrance launch parties, but also on a shared ideological Z i o n i s t level. And then we also examine Diddy's appointment of defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo (past clients include sexual monsters like NXIVM leader Keith Raniere, Harvey Weinstein, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, & Martin Shkreli, among many others) from this perspective of his shared social circle that numbers many Lauders & Bronfmans, and which brings Diddy buddy Edgar Bronfman Jr.'s family's close ties to the human potential sex cult into the mix, and which seems like a very foreboding bellwether for the Diddler's legal prospects, as pretty much all of Agnifilo's high profile defenses of sexual criminals & otherwise have failed utterly. We also get some of Edgar Bronfman Jr's music industry career details on the board, including his stint as CEO of Warner Music Group, which led to Bad Boy becoming an imprint for about 4 years, before he sold the major to fellow Z i o n i s t Len Blavatnik (not to mention buddy of cinema sex pests Harvey Weinstein & Brett Ratner). We talk the Diddler's apparent distro of illicit rape tapes, which takes his filming & blackmail tendencies to new noided heights... This is explored via the Thalia Graves lawsuit and Diddy's relationship w/ Rhymes & Dimes porno publisher & former celebrity bodyguard Big Joe Sherman. We talk about the corruption & bribery scandal in NY, Mayor Adams indictment, & a seemingly unrelated Hudson Valley case that resulted in a Judge putting his gun in his mouth & pulling the trigger while in the midst of a firefight w/ feds... And then there's a ton more besides. The art for this series, the Diddler nexus parapower map, was expertly rendered by noided pod design mastermind & friend of the show Robert Voyvodic (@rvoy__ on Twitter).

Since then a slew of other civil lawsuits from named defendants to Jane Does alleging everything from coercion to sexual assault to drug abuse and flat out r8pe have been levied. Not to mention, a multiple estate raid by Homeland Security & the FBI back in March of this year that led us to where we are today and the leaked security video of him viciously attacking Cassie that subsequently followed.  Today's show will be the first of many as we chronicle all the twists and turns of his charges, court filings, discovery and ultimately the trial. From what started as a “witch hunt” or “the government tryna take a successful black man down” has morphed into an all too real life scenario that may end up with The Diddler with life in prison. This situation proves that no one can live a life above the law forever.  But thats the end of the show… the opener is fully covering the fallout from the YMCMB & Rocnation Super Bowl fallout that left Kendrick starting, Wayne on the sidelines and millions of Jay Z apologists and dick gobblers eating crow after trying to lie, conflate and bend the truth in favor of their idol. We also discuss Bud Crawford getting mistaken for Kendrick at UFC Noche, Drake turning down the Super Bowl (shout out to Mal) and Kevin Liles hauling ass out of Warner Music Group after the Diddy news broke.

About the Guest: Laura Martin is the Executive Productivity Advisor at Google and the author of the book, Uptime: A Practical Guide to Personal Productivity and Wellbeing. She started her career at Google, where she taught people how to manage their inbox effectively. This passion grew into a full-time role, and she now works with executives one-on-one and runs the productivity program at Google. Laura is the author of the book. Episode Summary: In this episode, Greg McKeown interviews Laura Martin, a productivity expert at Google. They discuss the importance of aligning your current self with your future self and making decisions that your future self will thank you for. Laura shares practical tips on how to apply this concept in your daily life, such as reviewing your schedule and making adjustments to prioritize what truly matters. They also delve into the power of defining your top three priorities and aligning your calendar with those priorities. Laura shares insights from her work with executives, including the CEO of Warner Music Group, who successfully implemented this system. The episode concludes with a discussion on the courage to be rubbish and the importance of making strategic trade-offs to focus on what truly matters. Key Takeaways: Aligning your current self with your future self is crucial for living a fulfilling life. Ask yourself, "What will future me wish I had done right now?" to make decisions that prioritize what truly matters. Defining your top three priorities and aligning your calendar with those priorities helps you focus on what truly matters. Communicate these priorities to your team and delegate tasks accordingly. Use the rule of three to remember and prioritize information. Our brains seek patterns and grouping things in threes helps with memory and focus. Saying no is essential to protect your time and energy. Ask yourself, "What is the worst thing that would happen if I never do this?" and consider if there are alternative ways to accomplish the task or if it can be half-done and moved on from. Embrace the courage to be rubbish and make strategic trade-offs. Not everything needs to be perfect or optimized. Focus on what truly matters and let go of non-essential tasks.

Welcome to the George Santos Tribute Episode, lasting as long as his tenure in Congress.The Russian-linked Ponzi Scheme is on his way out. He lavishly spent campaign cash on his honeymoon in Las Vegas, spa treatments, luxury shopping sprees, Botox (he's 35!), and the naughty fun time site OnlyFans. We have questions, mostly: Did his Russian-linked backers get their money's worth by having major American embarrassment Santos in Congress? The answer is yes. On an oddly related note, super mogul Len Blavatnik, whom you're not allowed to call a Russian oligarch (or else he might sue you), owns Warner Music Group. The industry giant is developing a creepy and dangerous A.I.-generated Edith Piaf biopic. Blavatnik, whose cousin Andrea got into a screaming match with at the start of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, throws his money around, including to the Democratic Party and the Council on Foreign Relations. As explained in this episode, this is reputation laundering and influence peddling, given Blavatnik's well-documented ties to Putin's court of oligarchs. Are you ready for this? Blavatnik is a longtime friend and business partner of notorious sanctioned “Putin wallet” Viktor Vekselberg in various oligarchy-type ventures like Rusal, Russia's largest aluminum company owned by Oleg Deripaska, that thug who won the aluminum wars during the car bomb 1990s in Russia. (Paul Manafort was on the hook to Deripaska for a bunch of money in a media venture gone wrong, and made it up to him by running Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2016…for free). Blavatnik's friend/business partner Vekselberg has a seemingly unlucky cousin named Andrew Intrater, a financier who gave George Soros $625,000 to invest in a Florida based fund that turned out to be a Ponzi scheme. Despite losing all that money, Intrater went on to put his full trust in Santos by pumping his Congressional campaign full of cash. A campaign that turned out to be…you guessed it, a Ponzi scheme. It should be noted that longtime friends and associates Intrater, Vekselberg, and Blavatnik all gave heavily to Trump's inaugural committee–otherwise known as a Russian victory lap.  This week's bonus episode includes questions from listeners on topics ranging from white rage extremism and who's tracking it, to how to stay hopeful during these dark times.
