Kanye West’s ‘DONDA’ Has a New Release Date
Just two days after Kanye West‘s second DONDA listening event in Atlanta, the album has a new release date on Apple Music‘s pre-order page. Originally, the first pre-order page went live on August 5 and listed the release date to be August 7.

It remains to be seen if this August ...
Congress Takes Aim at Twitter’s Inability to Address Copyright Infringement In Letter to CEO
In a letter to Jack Dorsey, members of Congress are demanding Twitter address the pervasive problem of copyright infringement on its platform. The bipartisan letter, signed by 22 members of Congress, cites an astounding figure as the basis for the correspondence. According to Twitter itself over 1.6 million copyright infringement notices were reportedly received in the first half of last year alone. According to the letter, this is mainly due to the company’s lack of licensing, an issue that has been raised more frequently as of late with regard to large tech companies. One such company to get caught in the crosshairs recently has been Twitch, which has been the subject of numerous waves of DMCA takedowns due to insufficient licensing infrastructure. As a result, lawmaker...

GEORGE LYNCH Says Vaccine Mandates ‘Should’ Be The New Normal
In a brand new interview with “Talking Metal”, legendary guitarist George Lynch spoke about what it has been like playing select shows around the U.S. over the course of the last few weeks while the pandemic is still in full swing. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I’m very conflicted and I’m a supreme hypocrite, because I’m a ‘safety safety’ guy. I’m double vaxxed and I wear my mask everywhere and I’m real careful about travel and anything like that. But I care about other people, and yet again I play shows where I afford the opportunity for people to stand shoulder to shoulder without masks on and get sick. So, I’m not sure how to deal with that. Because, as you know, things were tamped down quite nicely and i...
