Hollywood Studios Win Injunction Against Streaming Service VidAngel
A U.S. district judge has granted a preliminary injunction against streaming service VidAngel on behalf of Walt Disney Co., Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox Film and Warner Bros. Entertainment, who filed a lawsuit in June accusing the company for illegally ripping DVDs and streaming without a license. The Provo, Utah-based start-up allows people to stream cleaned-up versions of movies including “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and “Deadpool” for $1 each by filtering out unwanted language, sex and nudity from movies. In the complaint, the studios asked the court to block VidAngel from violating their copyrights, the L.A. Times reported. Also Read: 'American Idol' Alum Sues, Says His Eardrum Was Partially Removed…

You granted my petition for clemency and reduced my sentence of life without parole for a nonviolent drug charge to 20 years. And although words can’t illustrate what I felt the moment I was told I was not going to die in prison as I had been sentenced to in 1998, my feelings of joy quickly transformed into sorrow and guilt when I returned to my prison cell and faced my friends…

‘SNL': Watch Angela Merkel Express Her Displeasure with Trump Being Named TIME’s Person Of The Year (Video)

Chelsea Manning Is Running Out Of Time
Transparency activist Chelsea Manning has already spent more time behind bars than any other whistleblower in U.S. history. She’s been systematically mistreated, subjected to torture, and denied access to desperately needed health care while serving a 35 year sentence in an all-male military prison. And if we don’t act right now to support her, Chelsea’s situation is about to go from bad to worse. Last month, Chelsea and her legal team formally petitioned President Obama to commute her sentence to “time served.” Supporters have echoed that request, launching an official Whitehouse.gov petition, which has garnered more than 68,000 signatures at…
