Evil Looms for Elves and Dwarves Alike in New The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Trailer: Watch
Why have regular rings when you can have rings of power? That’s not exactly what the highly anticipated Prime Video series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is about… except maybe it is? What matters is that as the calendar brings us closer and closer to the show’s September premiere date, we’ve gotten another taste of the show with the release of a new trailer. In this new trailer, the denizens of Middle Earth talk some big talk about how they thought war was behind them… which, as we quickly discover, isn’t the case, because “Evil does not sleep — it waits.” Magical swords, a balrog, and some big talk about a guy named Sauron all tease the epic fantasy adventure to come. The Rings of Power was first revealed as a possibility in 2017 when Amazon acquired the television rights to J...

Epidemic Sound Sues Meta For $142M, Says Instagram and Facebook Stole Hundreds Of Songs
Meta Platforms Inc. is facing a lawsuit that claims its Facebook and Instagram platforms “intentionally and brazenly” stole hundreds of songs from Swedish production music label Epidemic Sound, encouraging their users to upload more than 50,000 infringing videos every day. Repped by attorneys at the top music law firm Pryor Cashman, Epidemic says the social media giant is offering nearly 1,000 of the label’s songs through its “Music Library” for users to add to their video uploads, but that Meta has refused to secure copyright licenses for that music — and has ignored the company’s repeated demands that it do so. “Perhaps Meta is hoping to get away with it for as long as possible,” Epidemic’s lawyers wrote in a complaint filed Wednesday (July 20) in San Francisco federal court. “Perhaps Me...
