BREAKING: The U.S. government is suing Adobe.

It's accusing the company of harming consumers by enrolling them in the most expensive subscription plans without clearly disclosing the huge early termination fees — fees that can reach hundreds of dollars.

[🇯🇲The Creatives’ Rights🇯🇲 @CreativesRights]

🔆The Ministry of Culture and Entertainment @MCGESJamaica launched an insurance plan, ‘Jamaica Entertainers and Creatives Insurance Plan’, for Entertainers and Creatives. This is a monumental for Jamaica’s entertainment industry!

Sony Music Entertainment looks after:

- Columbia Records
- Epic Records
- RCA Records
- Arista Records
- Sony Music Nashville
- Sony Music Latin
- Sony Masterworks

They won't be affected by TikTok and UMG issue

[Mimi the music blogger @mimitheblogger]

Universal Music Group (UMG) looks after:

- Capitol Records
- Interscope Geffen A&M
- Island Records
- Def Jam Recordings
- Republic Records
- Motown
- Virgin EMI Records
- Universal Music Latin Entertainment

There are labels under those labels, so for example Murder Inc. and Rocafella were under Def Jam Records

So u guys get it ?

[Mimi the music blogger @mimitheblogger]

UMG vs TikTok has people questioning which artist will be affected so let me break it down quick.

The "Big Three" record labels, are:

- Universal Music Group (UMG):

- Sony Music Entertainment:

- Warner Music Group (WMG):

These three entities are the largest players in the global music industry

TikTok is a music based platform. It’s interesting to see that they’re not paying appropriately

[🇯🇲The Creatives’ Rights🇯🇲 @CreativesRights]

🔆Universal Music Group who is in charge of music catalogs for Drake, Harry Styles are removing their artistes catalogs. UMG is not satisfied with the compensation they are offering and claims there are no protections against AI.

[Pop Base @PopBase]

UMG has officially started removing their artists’ catalogs from TikTok.

Official songs are no longer appearing for UMG artists under the ‘sounds’ tab, with the exception of fan-made edits.

Truly poetic Justice

I don’t think Y’ll grasp what’s happening in South Africa🇿🇦. Black people that survived #Apartheid went to become judges and lawyers.

And now defending Palestinians🇵🇸 against the country that sent South Africa🇿🇦 weapons during Apartheid!

We are living History!!!!!!

Repeating a quote from evidence that was used against you in a criminal proceeding is not smart. While he was already found guilt, certain things such as lack of remorse can still be taken into account when it comes to sentencing.

#PressRelease: Six-Month Grace Period for Data Controller Registration Under the Data Protection Act. @theoicjm

[Andrea Dempster Chung @dempsterchung]

Intellectual Property (IP) is key to growing the creative economy. Creatives need effective legislation that allows them to access capital from banks using their IP. This week I was invited to review the SIPPA Act & presented feedback to the Parliamentary subcommittee.
