Songs from popular artists have begun to disappear from YouTube as the platforms deal with the performing rights organization SESAC (Society of European Stage Authors and Composers) approaches its expiration date. As reported by Variety, certain songs by Adele, Green Day, Bob Dylan, R.E.M., Burna Boy and other artists have been blocked in the US, though their entire catalogs arent necessarily affected. Videos that have been pulled, like Adeles Rolling in the Deep, now just show a black screen with the message: This video contains content from SESAC. It is not available in your country. In a statement to Engadget, a YouTube spokesperson said the platform has been in talks with SESAC to renew the deal, but despite our best efforts, we were unable to reach an equitable agreement before its expiration. We take copyright very seriously and as a result, content represented by SESAC is no longer available on YouTube in the US. We are in active conversations with SESAC and are hoping to reach a new deal as soon as possible. According to a source that spoke to Variety, however, the deal hasnt even expired yet itll reportedly terminate sometime next week and the move on YouTubes part may be a negotiation tactic. SESAC has not yet released a statement.

The team behind the upcoming Minecraft movie shared a new clip during Minecraft Live that expands on the brief crafting moment we saw in the polarizing first teaser. The scene comes in the middle of a discussion between Mojang creative director Torfi Frans Olafsson and A Minecraft Movie director Jared Hess, at 4:51. The segment also gives us our first look at the movies interpretation of a Minecraft bee, which Im not quite sure how to feel about yet. That you can find toward the end of the video. A Minecraft Movie is slated for release in April 2025 and stars Jack Black as Steve, alongside Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Emma Myers and Sebastian Eugene Hansen. Plans for it were first announced a decade ago, and potential release dates were set and scrapped on multiple occasions in the time since. At long last, its actually now happening for better or worse.

Apple tried at the last second to get out of producing a trove of documents by Monday as it was ordered to in its ongoing dispute with Epic, and Magistrate Judge Thomas Hixson is not having it. In early August, the company was given a deadline of September 30 to produce documents relating to the changes it made to its App Store rules this year, which was its attempt to satisfy an injunction. Apple initially told the court that the task would entail reviewing roughly 650,000 documents but in a status report on Thursday, it said the number had ballooned to over 1.3 million, and asked for a two-week extension. Hixson denied the request on Friday in a strongly worded order spotted by The Verge, and called out Apples move as bad behavior. Apple and Epic have been submitting joint status reports to the court every two weeks, and the issue of Apples documents exceeding its earlier estimate never previously came up, the judge noted. This information would have been apparent to Apple weeks ago, Hixson said in the order. It is simply not believable that Apple learned of this information only in the two weeks following the last status report. The judge said the request raises other concerns, calling into question the quality of Apples reports and its intentions around complying in a timely manner. Apple has nearly infinite resources that it could have tapped to get the task done in the allotted time, according to Hixson. This is a classic moral hazard, Hixson said in the order, and the way Apple announced out of the blue four days before the substantial completion deadline that it would not make that deadline because of a document count that it had surely been aware of for weeks hardly creates the impression that Apple is behaving responsibly.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/big-tech/judge-rejects-apples-last-minute-request-for-a-deadline-extension-in-epic-case-195536755.html?src=rss
