Sadly, being a little bit late hasn't stopped any of these cases going ahead to date. Nor has being totally incredible prevented cases being won. The outrageous decision against Men At Work in 2010 proved that. Whatever the fate of this case it wil be another field day for the lawyers with legal costs stacking up to millions even in cases where the claims are for far smaller amounts. It's a sad business all round.

6 strings, 8 chords?
How can music NOT be like other music? OK, Page copied a lot of stuff (as in most of the first three albums), but this is stretching it a bit far.

Jeeze, there are only so many strings on a guitar, and only so many chord progressions that make sense with a given stanza.
This could lead to literally millions of lawsuits -- especially in genres like rap, rock'n'roll, and boy/girl band cr@p.
I'll bet lawyers all over the US will celebrate like crazy, if the plaintiff wins.

It's not a great explanation[^], but I'd love to see just about any other politician[1] try it on the fly like that.

So America sends troops to invade countries that challenge their corporations' R&D, not just that the ones that have all the oil!

This is disturbing. Not meant to be a political discussion.
Ben Carson Says He Has No Memory of Running for POTUS - The New Yorker[^]
DAFUQ?
Is this real? When did the New Yorker become The Onion?
//EDIT//
Nevermind, it's (now) obviously a satirical piece by Andy Borowitz. I shoulda known, but I didn't check the author. Grrr. By bad.

Yeah, I can't find anything about this on the internet or Fox News that doesn't lead back to "the new yorker" article. Silly democrats, jokes are for comedians that make fun of Turkish leaders.

Yah, just realized it's an Andy Borowitz article. Basically he's like an Onion writer for the New Yorker. Grrr.

I see this type of post all of the time, but I'm at a loss as to why. Setting aside whether or not you agree with the coverage, for Fox to be so completely dominant, you have to wonder why their competition is so weak.
"Marking 13 years at #1, Fox News was up about 2% in 2014 to an average 300K viewers per night in the demo favored by cable news advertisers. In total viewers for primetime, Fox nearly tripled its nearest competition with 1.748M.
In fact, in weekday primetime, Fox was the #2 highest-rated network across all of cable behind only ESPN and ahead of networks like USA and TNT. The network was down 4% in total day with 1.050M total viewers and 213K in the demo.
Fox claimed the top 14 spots on the list of highest-rated cable news programs in total viewers and nine of the top 10 spots in the demo (MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show was #15 in total while CNBC’s Shark Tank was #10 in the demo). For the 15th consecutive year, The O’Reilly Factor topped both lists with an averaged 426K in the demo and 2.667M total viewers."
