It would be safer to do something where the sign-in occurs on the library's website as opposed to Kanopy's. But you should be able to verify on the applicable library website that they have a legitimate partnership with…
Police are claiming they are, but have provided very limited evidence this is actually happening. https://twitter.com/neilcybart/status/1472634032827645962
Putting aside the fact that headlines are usually chosen by editors, not writers – this is where it comes up in the article itself: > When the stock market was sky-high in January [...] Palihapitiya was tweeting, “Tell…
Time Warner Inc. (the company discussed in OP's article that owns HBO, CNN etc.) has been a separate company from Time Warner Cable since 2009. TWC is the one that Comcast tried to buy (and is now trying to merge with…
The deal has been announced but it hasn't actually been completed yet. Though obviously the layoffs are part of the process before the sale is final. News reports very frequently treat deals that have been announced as…
Some of the nuance has been lost in the media coverage. The National Geographic Society will still exist as a non-profit, but it is selling control of its media assets to Fox (and presumably would use the proceeds to…
Per the USPTO trademark database (on mobile so can't readily link), FiftyThree has a trademark on "Pencil by FiftyThree", not on "Pencil". Moreover the trademark they do have specifically disclaims exclusive rights to…
U.S. cable/satellite-only channels like Fox News do not have FCC licenses. There may be a few general regulations they have to abide by – things like closed captioning – but they do not have to answer directly to the…
I figured it might have been the Toronto-based Polar (né Polar Mobile, now focused on Web native ad platforms): http://polar.me/ Too many Polars out there right now.
Yeah, they really should have just looked at rebranding. A few Instagram-related services (e.g. Webstagram, Statigram) had to do so recently, IIRC, and I don't think they're significantly worse off. Thing is, even if…
Time Warner Cable was spun off from Time Warner in 2009. What happens with one does not affect the other in any way.
It's worth remembering that Time Warner is much smaller than it used to be – it has sold off or spun off AOL, Warner Music, Warner Books, TWC, and even Time Inc. in the past few yesrs. Even then, the size and scope of a…
Things like its "Safe Rides Fee": http://valleywag.gawker.com/why-is-uber-charging-you-extra-t... And questionable promotions: http://valleywag.gawker.com/uber-used-the-boston-bombing-ann... And [allegedly]…
You may be working with outdated information. The separate publicly-traded "AT&T Wireless" company disappeared in 2004, and its successor has been wholly-owned by AT&T Inc. since late 2006. Meanwhile, Verizon…
Well, their (nominal) job _is_ to make laws. Members of Congress should be able to read and understand them before voting on them. But a more representative sample of occupations would be great too.
It's an all-stock deal though. Comcast isn't actually paying any money (in fact I believe they still have a significant amount of debt from buying NBC), instead they're proposing giving TWC shareholders the equivalent…
Well, they're still competing with your local telco (AT&T / Verizon), DirecTV, Dish Network, and Google Fiber and/or others in some areas. (Though granted some of those are TV-only, not Internet.) Not really much…
Originally (and perhaps still in some specific areas), yes. Most regions have deregulated though, which is why FiOS, U-Verse and Google Fiber TV are able to exist. But the infrastructure costs for Comcast to build out a…
It doesn't violate anti-trust laws to buy another company you do not compete with. And there are very few, if any, territories where Comcast and TWC directly compete at present – depending on where you live, you can…
Combining two companies which (to my knowledge) do not currently directly compete for subscribers would not violate any anti-trust laws I'm aware of. The FCC previously had a 30% coverage limit but that was struck down…
Bigger scale, lower combined costs, more negotiating clout with TV channel operators, etc.
If they (MiSoft) had filed a trademark application for "Paper" around the same time they reserved the name with Apple, they might have a case. But reserving a name with a retailer – without actually using it, and…
That doesn't make a difference for trademark rights though. Priority for trademark rights would be based on the first date the name was actually used on an available product/service – or, at the very least, the date an…
Probably "Paper" in the sense of "newspaper".
