Netflix axes popular show after just two series as boss confirms cancellation ‘with a heavy heart’

It was the Grammy Awards in LA last night. Am I going to just focus on the UK artists who won awards like some kind of UKIP-voting Brexiteer shouting in everyone’s face that “British is best”, “we invented everything”, “fuck the foreigners” and “God save the king!” Maybe. We’ll see.I mean Harry Styles did walk away with the prestigious Album Of The Year gong for ‘Harry’s House’, as well as the Best Pop Vocal Album prize for the same record.

Taylor Swift has hit back at a lawsuit filed by writer Teresa La Dart over similarities between a book of poetry written by the latter and a publication that accompanied the deluxe version of the former’s 2019 ‘Lover’ album. The lawsuit is, says Team Swift, “legally and factually baseless”.La Dart sued last year accusing Swift of ripping off various creative elements of her 2010 poetry book, which was also called ‘Lover’.The lawsuit claimed that the earlier ‘Lover’ poetry book and the later ‘Lover’ album book had “a substantially similar cover format”, “substantially the same introduction page formats with a similarly styled ‘Lover’ title”, “a substantially similar inner book design” and “a substantially similar colour scheme (pastel pinks and blues)”.“Stylistically”, La Dart’s lawsuit concluded, “the Swift ‘Lover’ book includes creative elements that are not typical of or present within other published books and – as compared with the La Dart work – leaves an overall impression that the Swift ‘Lover’ book is, again, substantially similar in terms of the above-noted design elements as those within the La Dart work”.That was all well and good, but are any of the creative elements shared by the two ‘Lover’ books actually protected by copyright? No, says Swift’s formal response.

Nirvana and Universal Music have filed a response to the appeal in the ongoing legal battle over the famous artwork that appears on the album ‘Nevermind’.This litigation was instigated by Spencer Elden who, as a baby, appeared nude on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album.Despite having previously talked positively about appearing on the album artwork, in August 2021 Elden went legal, claiming that Nirvana and their label “knowingly produced, possessed, and advertised commercial child pornography depicting Spencer, and they knowingly received value in exchange for doing so”.Various arguments were presented by the defendants countering those claims, though the key legal argument was that Elden had left it too late to sue. With the specific laws Nirvana et al are accused of violating, there is a ten year statute of limitations.That doesn’t mean that Elden would have had to sue within ten years of the photograph being taken, but – technically speaking – he should have gone legal within ten years of his eighteenth birthday.
