Hip-Hop Mixtape Site Being Sued

A number of the largest record labels have sued Spinrilla, a popular hip-hop mixtape website and app. Sony Music Entertainment, Warner Bros. Records and Universal Music Group accuse Spinrilla’s operators of copyright infringement and claim damages that could reach millions of dollars.

Mixtapes have been part of the hip-hop culture for years, and one of such most popular online services today is Spinrilla. It allows users to stream and download tracks from its site or mobile app and accounts for hundreds of thousands of monthly users. The service got sued by the music labels, which claim that Spinrilla facilitates copyright infringement, allegedly offering over 21,000 tracks of music artists such as Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West.

The plaintiffs estimated that the Spinrilla Android app had been downloaded and installed several million times and was among the most popular music apps offered on the Google Play store. However, Spinrilla is not just another pirate website: the service was incorporated in the US, earns money through advertising and recently partnered with AOL.

At the same time, the RIAA believes that Spinrilla has crossed a line by offering copyrighted music without permission and hopes that the record labels will be compensated through the lawsuit and that an injunction will take Spinrilla offline. The copyright holders point out that consumers have access to millions of music tracks from innovative legitimate platforms and services that pay creators, and Spinrilla’s way of business has no place in today’s music marketplace.

Cool Nutz - Got A Dream

In the midst of rehab for a torn quadriceps tendon, Portland, Oregon rapper Cool Nutz was undeterred by his devastating injury. Somehow, he managed to film the visuals for “Got A Dream” during the process, not wanting to slow down for even a second.

As a pre-cursor to his forthcoming album, Pig Ears & Chitlins, “Got A Dream” details his tumultuous journey and serves as an ode to the changing face of Portland, and the consequences of the city’s gentrification. With guest spots from Mistah Fab, Mitchy Slick, Illmaculate, Bosko, and more, the album promises to be an incredible aural experience. Pig Ears & Chitlins is scheduled for a November 15 release.

Katy Perry And J.J. Watts Cover ESPN Magazine Photos

Well! I guess Katy Perry and J.J. Watts have something more to celebrate for. The have been featured on the cover of ESPN Magazine with some hot photos listed inside. Take a look at whats happening below.

 Katy Perry learned she’d be photo-
sessioning with Texans defensive end J.J. Watt, “I went straight to Google,” she says. What she saw? Watt’s bloody visage as he battled the Seahawks in 2013. “I’ve been showing it to my friends, saying, ‘Check out this guy. I’m gonna be shootin’ with this guy.’”

“My mom has never been a big fan of that photo,” admits Watt, sitting next to Perry on set. “I try not to bleed anymore.”

“That picture was real … interesting,” Perry says. “I mean, he looks so nice now in person! I don’t even recognize him.”

Everyone in Texas does, though, swarming the 25-year-old out of tiny Pewaukee, Wisconsin, every time he tries to check out the Friday night lights. It’s fame he has earned: Watt’s freaktastic 2014 season included 20∏ sacks (one for a safety), five fumble recoveries and five touchdowns. The offseason has been pretty productive too: “I was with Justin Timberlake, and he taught me an end zone dance,” Watt says. “I said, ‘Hey, you’re obviously a very good dancer. Could you design me a touchdown dance so I don’t look like a fool?’ And he said, ‘Yeah, no problem.’ So I need to get back in the end zone so I can give Justin his tribute.”

 Perry, 30, wasn’t exactly slacking in 2014 either, touring her 2-hour, 10-minute show from May to December and grossing more than $108 million doing so. She was 
in The Grove at Ole Miss before her first football game in October, picking the Rebels against the Crimson Tide on College GameDay, then stormed the field without her security detail and zestfully ended the night at an Oxford watering hole. “Journey was playing ‘Don’t Stop Believing,’ and I just thought, ‘Why not be the quintessential college girl and jump off the bar?’” So she did, captured in the act on video.

“Was it fun?” Watt asks.

“Yeah, it was everything I dreamed of,” she says. “I only need to do it once, though. That was the one time on the tour that I really had a couple of beers. And the next day I was like [groan] …”

JT concerts and game-day tailgating are hardly the norm for these two Icons of the Establishment, but that’s the point: Their industrial-strength charismatic superpowers are capable of crossing over. It’s also why Perry and Watt, who rule in (or on) their respective fields, quickly find common ground about the kind of drive and work ethic that brought them success.

Watt, for one, knew so early that he wanted to play football for the Badgers that he confided his dream to his fourth-grade teacher, Mrs. Keefe. (They still keep in touch.) And he forged his Dream Big, Work Hard mantra in high school while training with his coach, Brad Arnett. “I was just this skinny sophomore quarterback, about 6-2, maybe 190. He had a gym he’d opened up, and I said, ‘Listen, I wanna be great.’”

YouTube Raises Its TV Prices

The Google-owned service, not to be confused with the free version of YouTube, also announced that it's adding Discovery channels including Discovery Channel, HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Investigation Discovery, Animal Planet, Travel Channel, and MotorTrend. 

YouTube TV, a live TV streaming service designed to replace a traditional cable TV package, will raise its monthly price from $40 to $50. Subscribers billed through Apple will have to pay $55.

YouTube TV is one of a handful of new subscription options aimed at cable TV cord cutters who want to stream live TV channels such as ESPN, TNT and CNN, as well as local channels including ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC.

Apple takes a 30 percent share of subscription revenue made through iOS apps or iTunes, with that cut dropping to 15 percent if the app holds onto the member for subsequent years.

YouTube TV's official twitter feed says current subscribers will see the increase in the first billing cycle after May 13. Unlike DirecTV Now, which allows subscribers to keep the older, lower pricing if they don't cancel service, there's no so-called grandfathered pricing with YouTube TV.

Gansta Marcus Talks The End Of Cds

Gansta Marcus makes a statement on the end of cds, "I can remember a time in music history when everyone wanted their hands in the rise of platinum selling CDs, but now that digital music is released, Cds have declined in recent years making online and mobile sale more easier for music shoppers."

When asked how do he feel the future of music will be, he responded' "The industry will make it had to reach the major platform. Although the internet has made it a way to let indie artist emerge onto their own platform and reach major crowds, the industry will spend millions to put a stop to it."

"Streaming music has become very popular in todays society. With all kinds of gadgets and apps, the digital industry is leading the music revolution. With B.E.T changing its broadcast station to reality t.v., will it hurt emerging artist and the way visual videos are put into rotation?"
