Courtney Love loses guardianship of daughter to Kurt Cobain's mum & sister
TMZ reports that Courtney Love is no longer the legal guardian of Frances Bean Cobain, her 17-year-old daughter with Kurt Cobain. On Friday, the Los Angeles Superior Court assigned guardianship of Frances Bean to Kurt's mother, Wendy O'Connor, and his sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain.
According to TMZ, guardianship reassignments like this happen when "the parent is not capable of taking care of their children." Court proceedings are sealed, so we don't know why, exactly, the court found Love to be an unstable parent.Canadian record industry faces US$6 billion lawsuit
After years of claiming consumers disrespect copyright, the major music labels in Canada are facing a massive lawsuit for copyright infringement; and where the infringer has effectively already admitted owing at least US$50 million and the full claim could exceed $6 billion. By internet law columnist Michael Geist.
Chet Baker was a leading jazz musician in the 1950s, playing trumpet and providing vocals. Baker died in 1988, yet he is about to add a new claim to fame as the lead plaintiff in possibly the largest copyright infringement case in Canadian history. His estate, which still owns the copyright in more than 50 of his works, is part of a massive class-action lawsuit that has been underway for the past year.
The infringer has effectively already admitted owing at least US$50 million and the full claim could exceed $6 billion. If the dollars don’t shock, the target of the lawsuit undoubtedly will: The defendants in the case are Warner Music Canada, Sony BMG Music Canada, EMI Music Canada, and Universal Music Canada, the four primary members of the Canadian Recording Industry Association.
The CRIA members were hit with the lawsuit in October 2008 after artists decided to turn to the courts following decades of frustration with the rampant infringement (I am adviser to the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, which is co-counsel, but have had no involvement in the case).
The claims arise from a longstanding practice of the recording industry in Canada, described in the lawsuit as “exploit now, pay later if at all.” It involves the use of works that are often included in compilation CDs (ie. the top dance tracks of 2009) or live recordings. The record labels create, press, distribute and sell the CDs, but do not obtain the necessary copyright licences.
Instead, the names of the songs on the CDs are placed on a “pending list,” which signifies that approval and payment is pending. The pending list dates back to the late 1980s, when Canada changed its copyright law by replacing a compulsory licence with the need for specific authorization for each use. It is perhaps better characterized as a copyright infringement admission list, however, since for each use of the work, the record label openly admits that it has not obtained copyright permission and not paid any royalty or fee.
The irony of having the [Canadian] recording industry face a massive lawsuit will not be lost on anyone, least of all the artists still waiting to be paid. Indeed, they are also seeking punitive damages, arguing “the conduct of the defendant record companies is aggravated by their strict and unremitting approach to the enforcement of their copyright interests against consumers.”
Over the years, the size of the pending list has grown dramatically, now containing more than 300,000 songs.
From Beyonce to Bruce Springsteen, the artists waiting for payment are far from obscure, as thousands of Canadian and foreign artists have seen their copyrights used without permission and payment.
It is difficult to understand why the industry has been so reluctant to pay its bills. Some works may be in the public domain or belong to a copyright owner difficult to ascertain or locate, yet the likes of Sarah McLachlan, Bruce Cockburn, Sloan, or the Watchmen are not hidden from view.
The more likely reason is that the record labels have had little motivation to pay up. As the balance has grown, David Basskin, the president and CEO of the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency Ltd., notes in his affidavit that “the record labels have devoted insufficient resources for identifying and paying the owners of musical works on the pending lists.” The CRIA members now face the prospect of far greater liability.
The class action seeks the option of statutory damages for each infringement. At $20,000 per infringement, potential liability exceeds $6 billion.
These numbers may sound outrageous, yet they are based on the same rules that led the recording industry to claim a single file sharer is liable for millions in damages.

Burma opium production up amid tension in north
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says there has been a worrying rise in the extent of opium cultivation in Burma.
According to a new UN survey, the amount of land used for growing opium has increased by almost 50% since 2006.
The UN drugs agency says the cultivation of opium poppies has risen in Burma for the third year in a row.
This is undermining efforts to rid the country of its dependence on profits from illicit crops, it says.
Over 31,000 hectares of land are now devoted to growing opium, an increase of 11% compared to one year ago.
This is still a far cry from the 1990s, when Burma was the world's largest opium producer, part of the infamous Golden Triangle.
However the head of the UN drugs agency, Antonio Maria Costa, says "the trend is going in the wrong direction".
Mr Costa says increased instability in north eastern Burma is driving the rise in drug cultivation, with ethnic militant groups using drug profits to buy arms.
The UN agency is also warning that the region is becoming a major producer of synthetic drugs like amphetamines.
Mr Costa has called for a renewed commitment from governments and donors to tackling the drug problem in south east Asia.

Climate negotiations 'suspended'
Negotiations at the UN climate summit have been suspended after the African group withdrew co-operation.
African delegations were angry at what they saw as moves by the Danish host government to sideline talks on more emission cuts under the Kyoto Protocol.
As news spread around the conference centre, about 200 activists responded with chants of "We stand with Africa - Kyoto targets now".
It is unclear how matters will proceed now, though informal talks are likely.
Blocs representing poor countries vulnerable to climate change have been adamant that rich nations must commit to emission cuts beyond 2012 under the Kyoto Protocol.
But the EU and the developed world in general has promoted the idea of a new agreement. Developing countries fear they would lose many of the gains they made when the protocol was agreed in 1997.
'Losing time'
Previously during this meeting - formally called the Conference of the Parties (COP) 15 - developing countries have accused the Danish organisers of ignoring their concerns.
| Some developing nations are wary of the way negotiations are progressing |
Last week, the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu forced a suspension after insisting that proposals to amend the UN climate convention and Kyoto Protocol be debated in full.
Kim Carstensen, director of the global climate initiative with environment group WWF, said that much more movement was needed on the Kyoto Protocol negotiations.
"The point is being made very loud that African countries and the wider G77 bloc will not accept non-action on the Kyoto Protocol, and they're really afraid that a deal has been stitched up behind their backs," he told BBC News.
While understanding the G77 position, he said the suspension could affect progress towards a deal.
"We're losing time, and that's a serious matter, because every minute we lose on one issue the chances of getting to the bottom of the next issue diminish."

HA!
An attacker wielding a statuette of the Milan cathedral struck Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in the face following a rally in Milan on Sunday, and hospital officials said the blow fractured his nose, sliced his lip and broke two teeth.
Bodyguards helped Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, stunned and bloodied, into a car following an attack Sunday in Milan.
Television images showed bodyguards helping a stunned and bloodied prime minister into a car after the attack, which came as he greeted supporters after delivering a rousing speech to a rally of his center-right People of Liberties Party in central Milan.
The police detained a Milan resident identified as Massimo Tartaglia, 42, who has a history of mental illness, Italian news media reported. A prosecutor was questioning Mr. Tartaglia and a formal arrest was expected...

Teen drinkers corrupting `brain software'
THE seven years immediately after a child reaches puberty mark a developmental crunch time, when the brain is both extremely susceptible to damage from drugs and alcohol and six times more likely than an adult's to develop an addiction.
Teenagers absorb drugs and alcohol into their bloodstream more quickly than adults and, afterwards, their metabolism isn't as efficient in breaking them down, warns Trevor Grice, a visiting New Zealand expert on teenage drinking. At the same time, these maturing bodies are only just developing "reward" chemicals such as endorphins, but still lack the emotional maturity to control them.
Mr Grice, the founding director of Life Education Trust NZ and co-author of The Great Brain Robbery, is urging parents to do all they can to delay their children's introduction to drinking until after the seven-year period elapses.
"Puberty brings with it a range of doubts," he told The Australian as he attended a weekend conference in Melbourne on the issue. "They want to be taller, have less acne, belong, be different. They worry about school, begin being interested in the opposite sex. They fear rejection, they negotiate family, there's bullying.
"Into this mix you have the peer pressure of drinking. It's like putting a match under a firecracker, and their brains are just not ready to handle it."
Mr Grice's warning came as police around the nation conducted a co-ordinated weekend blitz on alcohol-related crime, including drink-driving and violence.
More than 2000 people were arrested. NSW Deputy Commissioner Dave Owens said blitzes such as Operation Unite would never of themselves solve the issue of alcohol-related violence and dangerous behaviour.
"What it was about was starting a debate," he said.
Mr Grice said parents "have to help (their children) get their brain software right while they're on that ladder; otherwise as adults they'll be using dumb software".
But parents shouldn't be too hard on their children's inevitable mistakes, he said, having spoken to thousands of children over his 30-plus-year career in the field.
"They will act in obnoxious ways that offend their parents," he said. "But deep down they love them and would die for them. The teenager's brain's all accelerator and no brake; they are elbowing their way to adulthood and making mistakes."
Snort more cocaine and the rainforest dies (!)
Don’t sniff: cocaine users are killing the planet. Every time they snort a line, part of the rainforest dies — or so say the police in a new UK campaign against drugs.
They hope that appealing to young people’s environmental concerns will prove more effective than urging them to “just say no” to drugs. Linking with Greenpeace, the police plan to spread the message that for every gram of cocaine made, four square metres of rainforest are destroyed.
Chris Pearson, drug analyst at the Metropolitan police’s intelligence bureau, said: “The cocaine trade is destroying the rainforest. Young people don’t tend to listen to the police, but they might listen to Greenpeace and they might listen to their peers.”
The move is backed by the government. Vernon Coaker, the schools minister, said: “Teaching young people about the devastating environmental consequences of the drugs industry is one way we can tackle drug usage, though we need to balance this with giving young people clear information and advice on the other effects of drugs...”
Inside Tiger's double life
Tiger Woods had a separate team handle his trysts, reports Gerald Posner, who reveals how the scandal blew up—and that a payoff to Rachel Uchitel could now total $5 million.
While the world remains focused on Tiger Woods’ Florida estate waiting for the golfer or his wife Elin to emerge the saga’s real drama this weekend played out quietly across the country: Tiger’s representatives have been furiously negotiating a deal with New York party girl Rachel Uchitel and her high-profile Los Angeles lawyer, Gloria Allred, and a person familiar with the details of the negotiations tells The Daily Beast that the payoff could be worth as much as $5 million.
The Uchitel deal, as currently drafted but not yet signed, spreads the payments over several years, insuring that she does not get a lump sum and then turn around and tell her story anyway. It follows the precedent established by Michael Jackson in 1993 when he stretched a $20 million settlement to a boy who claimed to have been molested over 20 annual payments...

Lux Interior by James Sclavunos The Observer, Sunday 13 December 2009
One can't help but wonder what exactly was going through Erick Lee Purkhiser's noggin that decisive eureka moment when he came up with the rather odd stage name of "Lux Interior". One of the most uninhibited and maniacal singers ever to grace a stage in the history of rock'n'roll, the soon-to-be frontman of the legendary Cramps, the very embodiment of kinky danger, and Purkhiser somehow decides that this corny marketing phrase from an old car advertisement is the pseudonym with which to rocket his flamboyant alter ego into cult stardom.
The original phrase "luxe interior" was a reference to tuck-and-roll upholstery, but Purkhiser's Interior always conjured up a far more unwholesome image to me: a plush, fur-lined portal worming deep into the very core of an inner loup-garou. While I can't be certain that's what Lux Interior had in mind when he adopted his nom de scène, the man who made a name for himself howling "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" must have known all too well that he was hairy on the inside.
I first witnessed the Cramps at New York's CBGB's in the 70s, in their earliest configuration: Lux on vocals, partner/wife Poison Ivy Rorschach on guitar, Bryan Gregory on a polka-dotted Flying V, and original drummer Miriam Linna. The Cramps reified the band of my dreams: they were irreverent aficionados of rock'n'roll's primitive past, depraved and campy updaters of the raw blues progression.
With his dark, gaunt good looks, frontman Lux was a bit of a boyish charmer with a slightly goofy demeanour; alongside his fellow Cramps, he seemed a horror-comic character come to life. His hammy and awkward moves radiated an aura of unpredictable and salacious menace.
In the early 90s, more than a decade after that first encounter, I enjoyed the privilege of a brief stint as the Cramps' drummer. I recorded one album with the band, Look Ma, No Head! and during my tenure I was almost daily in the company of Lux and Ivy, which made for a most unusual time well spent.
Every day, after our typical six-hour non-stop rehearsal, we would decamp to Lux and Ivy's living room, where the man of the house would deliver lectures in an almost paternal manner. It was like belonging to a weird family – in the Manson sense of family. Professor Interior would hold forth with considerable authority on various subjects, not just music but 3D photography (he owned several stereoscopic cameras), art and UFOs.
Lux was convinced not only of the existence of alien races, but also of their influence in kick-starting civilisation and actively intermingling with humankind. He once showed me a photo taken of a landscape on Mars vaguely resembling a human face – the very same photo which would periodically crop up on the cover of US tabloids. Lux declared this grainy photo as irrefutable evidence of advanced Martian intelligence; a tense moment transpired between us when I misinterpreted his fervent assertions as a clever joke.
I quickly learned that despite appearances both Lux and Ivy took themselves and their music very, very seriously and held rockabilly, garage, the blues and the other forms of music that they emulated in the utmost regard. From their point of view, it was art of the most sublime order, no matter how trashy its reputation.
There are those who would disparage the Cramps as plagiarists; to be sure they borrowed freely and wore their influences on their sleeves, but they regurgitated their source material back into a unique vision. Their songs, image and lifestyle would prove to inspire, delight and galvanise countless artists, from Alex Chilton to Jon Spencer Blues Explosion to the White Stripes to the Horrors.
Lux Interior, like the artists that inspired him, was a true American eccentric who lived his life solely as he saw fit, demanding integrity and commitment of his self and others to the music he loved to a degree devoid of compromise.

Who knew that robots were funky?
IT was at a party in 1970 that Ralf Hütter first glimpsed the potential power of the Man Machine. Kraftwerk, the avant-garde musical group he had founded that year with Florian Schneider in Düsseldorf, Germany, was playing a concert at the opening of an art gallery, a typical gig at the time. Trying to channel the energy of the Detroit bands it admired, like the Stooges and MC5, the duo had augmented its usual arsenal of Mr. Schneider’s flute and Mr. Hütter’s electric organ with a tape recorder and a little drum machine, and they were whipping the crowd into a frenzy with loops of feedback and a flurry of synthetic beats.
As the show climaxed, Mr. Hütter recalled: “I pressed some keys down on my keyboard, putting some weight down on the keys, and we left the stage. The audience at the party was so wild, they kept dancing to the machine.”
Thus began a careerlong obsession with the fusion of man and technology. It would take four more years (and three largely instrumental records of electro-acoustic improvisation) before Kraftwerk heralded the coming of electronic pop on its landmark 1974 album “Autobahn,” and another four years before the members proclaimed themselves automatons on “The Robots,” the band’s de facto theme song from 1978’s “The Man-Machine” album. But even in 1970 the hum of what Mr. Hütter calls electrodynamics was buzzing in his veins.
“This rhythm, industrial rhythm, that’s what inspires me,” Mr. Hütter, 63, said. “It’s in the nature of the machines. Machines are funky.”

Over 950 arrests in Copenhagen
More than 900 campaigners were arrested in Copenhagen last night as police were accused of overreacting to sporadic street violence. The arrests came the day before an appeal in the Danish capital by the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, for people to start loving and caring for their world.
Williams will address a congregation including Queen Margrethe of Denmark and senior international politicians. He will call for a scaling down of the extravagant use of energy and the amount of waste across the planet. "These things will only happen if we learn to love the world we live in," he will say.
Williams, a passionate believer in the need for control of the causes of climate change, has had strong words for those who deny that man's activities are not responsible for the current phase of global warming. "Don't please listen to those who say that there is some kind of choice to be made between looking after human beings and looking after the planet. It is one of the most foolish errors around these days," he said.
But last night violence broke out when tens of thousands of people – some dressed as penguins and polar bears, carrying signs saying: "Save the humans" – took to the streets. The march had been organised to urge conference delegates to work out a binding deal to tackle climate change but was marred when a group of protesters threw bricks at police.
Hundreds were arrested and police "kettled" several hundred more before sending coaches into the pen, filling them up and driving away...
Iranian intel chief warns of extent of opposition
Iran's top intelligence official denounced senior clerics who he said support the country's opposition, an acknowledgment of the split in the leadership amid the postelection turmoil and a sign of growing pressure by hard-liners within the government to extend the crackdown.
The comments, reported Thursday by the state news agency IRNA, came after this week's widespread student protests, the biggest anti-government rallies in months. The unrest appears to have raised authorities' frustration that a fierce crackdown since the June election has failed to crush the opposition.
Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi spoke to a gathering of pro-government clerics in the holy city of Qom and warned that the opposition movement -- which authorities label as a foreign-backed plot to overthrow clerical rule -- extended into the country's high ranks.
"Unfortunately, based on precise intelligence, a lot of forces that were expected to defend the supreme leader instead went with those who rose against the supreme leader, he said, referring to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who stands at the top of Iran's clerical leadership.
A Nobel winner who went wrong on rights
In accepting his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo on Thursday, President Obama talked about the quiet dignity of human rights reformers such as Burma's Aung San Suu Kyi, the bravery of Zimbabwean voters who "cast their ballots in the face of beatings" and the need to bear witness to "the hundreds of thousands who have marched silently through the streets of Iran." Earlier in the week, thousands of Iranians did just that, gathering at university campuses in the most substantial demonstrations in the country since the summer, when hundreds of thousands protested Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed presidential election.
But back in June, even as much of the world cheered the Iranian protesters, Obama seemed reluctant to weigh in. "It is not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling," he said at the time. The White House may have feared that public support from Obama would allow the regime to paint the demonstrators as American stooges or might undermine U.S. efforts on Tehran's nuclear program. Such fears seemed to paralyze the administration.
The irony of Obama's Nobel Prize is not that he accepted it while waging two wars. After all, as Obama said in Oslo: "One of these wars is winding down. The other is a conflict that America did not seek." The stranger thing is that, from China to Sudan, from Burma to Iran, a president lauded for his commitment to peace has dialed down a U.S. commitment to human rights, one that persisted through both Republican and Democratic administrations dating back at least to Jimmy Carter. And so far, he has little to show for it...

Glenn Greenwald:The strange consensus on Obama's Nobel address
Reactions to Obama's Nobel speech yesterday were remarkably consistent across the political spectrum, and there were two points on which virtually everyone seemed to agree: (1) it was the most explicitly pro-war speech ever delivered by anyone while accepting the Nobel Peace Prize; and (2) it was the most comprehensive expression of Obama's foreign policy principles since he became President. I don't think he can be blamed for the first fact; when the Nobel Committee chose him despite his waging two wars and escalating one, it essentially forced on him the bizarre circumstance of using his acceptance speech to defend the wars he's fighting. What else could he do? Ignore the wars? Repent?
I'm more interested in the fact that the set of principles Obama articulated yesterday was such a clear and comprehensive expression of his foreign policy that it's now being referred to as the "Obama Doctrine." About that matter, there are two arguably confounding facts to note: (1) the vast majority of leading conservatives -- from Karl Rove and Newt Gingrich to Peggy Noonan, Sarah Palin, various Kagans and other assorted neocons -- have heaped enthusiastic praise on what Obama said yesterday, i.e., on the Obama Doctrine; and (2) numerous liberals have done exactly the same. That convergence gives rise to a couple of questions:
Why are the Bush-following conservatives who ran the country for the last eight years and whose foreign policy ideas are supposedly so discredited -- including some of the nation's hardest-core neocons -- finding so much to cheer in the so-called Obama Doctrine?
How could liberals and conservatives -- who have long claimed to possess such vehemently divergent and irreconcilable worldviews on foreign policy -- both simultaneously adore the same comprehensive expression of foreign policy?
Let's dispense first with several legitimate caveats. Like all good politicians, Obama is adept at paying homage to multiple, inconsistent views at once, enabling everyone to hear whatever they want in what he says while blissfully ignoring the rest. Additionally, conservatives have an interest in claiming that Obama has embraced Bush/Cheney policies even when he hasn't, because it allows them to claim vindication ("see, now that Obama gets secret briefings, he realizes we were right all along"). Moreover, there are foreign policies Obama has pursued that are genuinely disliked by neocons -- from negotiating with Iran to applying some mild pressure on Israel to the use of more conciliatory and humble rhetoric. And one of the most radical and controversial aspects of the Bush presidency -- the attack on Iraq -- was not defended by Obama, nor was the underlying principle that produced it ("preventive" war)...

Icons
The obscure but semi-legendary Neon Boys were a precursor to Television, featuring Tom Verlaine, Richard Hell, and drummer Billy Ficca. Their duration, from the fall of 1972 to the spring of 1973 according to Clinton Heylin's From the Velvets to the Voidoids, was brief. They were certainly ahead of their time, however, as recordings that later surfaced proved. On "That's All I Know" and "Love Comes in Spurts," which finally came out as one side of a seven-inch EP years later, the group played with an edge suggestive of both speed freaks and punk rock. There was shrieking guitar, half-spoken lyrics declaimed in a semi-state of hysteria, and words that were too scabrous to have been considered for commercial airplay in 1973 (certainly on "Love Comes in Spurts," at any rate). A then-unknown Dee Dee Ramone unsuccessfully auditioned for the band as a second guitarist before the Neon Boys, still a trio, decided to disband.
Of course all three of the principals would rapidly resurface as members of the original Television lineup, although Hell dropped out of that group before their first album. Hell would re-record "Love Comes in Spurts" himself as a solo act. The Neon Boys' versions of "That's All I Know" and "Love Comes in Spurts" were issued as one side of a seven-inch EP on Shake Records that had two later Hell solo recordings on the other side. Another Neon Boys recording, "High-Heeled Wheels," surfaced on a CD single (which also included the two previously released Neon Boys cuts) on the UK Overground label. According to From the Velvets to the Voidoids, three other Neon Boys songs -- "Tramp," "Hot Dog," and "Poor Circulation" -- were also recorded, although they have not yet been released.
