How The Supreme Court's Continued Misunderstanding Of Copyright Ruined Halloween
Techdirt: Earlier this year we wrote about a truly awful Supreme Court ruling concerning whether or not the design of cheerleader costumes could be covered by copyright. As we had explained earlier, this ruling could have a major impact on a variety of industries. The key issue is that "useful articles" are not supposed to be subject to copyright.

Even months away from its opening on Broadway next April, this is already becoming clear.Spot Operator Talks About His Route 91 Experience
Pollstar: Paul Weiss started his work shift Oct. 1 the way he always did. He dug his keys out of his jeans pockets, along with his wallet and spare change, and routinely dropped them into a storage bag that he stashed underneath the stage he’d be shining his spot on that evening.
