Netflix is suing two performers who turned their TikTok posts about Bridgerton into a stage musical. The streaming giant accused Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear of copyright infringement after they launched The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical in Washington, D.C. The pair are due to perform the show at the Royal Albert Hall in September. Barlow and Bear began posting about the historical drama last year on TikTok , where they have 2.4 million followers, creating songs based on the show and its characters. Initially, Netflix was a fan of their work, tweeting last year that it was “absolutely blown away" by their online efforts. However, the service was less enamoured when Barlow and Bear released an album - which won a Grammy for best musical theatre album - and launched a string of sell-out performances. Pair 'stretching fan fiction well past its breaking point' In a 25-page lawsuit filed in the federal court in Washington, the company said it warned the defendants not to go … [Read more...] about Netflix sues performers over unofficial Bridgerton musical

More than 60 Oklahoma lawmakers—many of them Republicans who support the death penalty—are calling for a new evidentiary hearing in the case of Richard Glossip ahead of his upcoming execution. The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals set a September 22 execution date for Glossip , 59, after a federal judge rejected a challenge to the state's lethal injection protocol. But a group of 61 Oklahoma legislators—44 Republicans and 17 Democrats—have urged Oklahoma Attorney General John O'Connor to join their request for a new hearing, citing an independent investigation by a Texas law firm that raised concerns about Glossip's guilt and conviction. "The report concluded that no reasonable juror who heard all the evidence would find Mr. Glossip guilty," the legislators wrote in a letter to O'Connor last week. "As elected officials representing the citizens of this great state, we believe it is vitally important to conduct a serious review of this case so that the truth might be … [Read more...] about Pro-death penalty legislators demand hearing on Richard Glossip’s execution

Aircraft pilots' rogue drone sightings took off in 2015, according to a report released Wednesday by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), a trend the agency is calling "dangerous and illegal." But some argue the threat is being exaggerated, as the number of bird strikes far outnumber drone sightings. So far in 2015, airplane and helicopter pilots have reported seeing 650 drones, while only 238 were spotted the year prior, the agency's report says. While drones are flying hazards, this kind of threat to planes are nothing new. U.S. airline captain Chris Manno wrote that the drone threat is overblown on his blog JetHead . "[W]hile the new hobbyist drones begin to enjoy an increasing level of retail sales, the bird hazard numbers literally in the millions," he wrote. "By sheer numbers alone, bird conflicts and even bird strikes dwarf the number of drone 'sightings' by airliners, but they're simply no longer news." Each year since 1990, the FAA compiles data on the … [Read more...] about The Greater Threat to Airplanes? Birds, Not Drones

A federal appeals court on Monday restored the death sentence of a bank robber convicted of killing his best friend, his friend's fiancée and their three children. In a 32-page opinion, a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that would have freed Ronald Jeffery Prible Jr . if the state did not retry Prible within six months. The panel ruled Prible, 50, failed to raise issues sufficiently compelling to discredit his conviction and sentence. A Harris County jury condemned Prible to death row in 2002 for killing Esteban "Steve″ Herrera; Herrera's fiancée, Nilda Tirado; Tirado's 7-year-old daughter Rachel Elizabeth Cumpian; Herrera's 7-year-old daughter Valerie; and the couple's 22-month-old daughter Jade Herrera in 1999.
