A person needs a mechanical license for audio distribution, whether it be physical or digital, and a synchronization license if there is video distribution. Most established streaming sites already have a synchronization license that covers (pun intended) covers, whereas the site will divert ad revenue. However, it is up to the performer to make sure a synchronization license is available from the site for all the songs they will be covering. Some publishers or copyright holders refuse to issue synchronization licenses as there isn't an obligation and there isn't a fixed rate, each license is negotiated separately.

The current mechanical rate is $0.091 for songs five minutes or less and $0.0175 per minute or fraction thereof for songs over five minutes. This rate is set by the Copyright Royalty Board, part of the Library of Congress, and for United States territories only.

FYI -- You may want to take your head out of your ass.

The Supreme Court does need to be expanded though. It hears half the cases it did fifty years ago. While they are at it, split the Ninth Circuit. Give California its own circuit since the majority cases originate from that state.

I don't have to pretend, it is true. Not a single nuclear plant in the United States has opened on time and on budget. Not a single one. In the 1950s, nuclear power was heralded as the cheapest electricity possible, so cheap that it would be almost free. Electricity generated from nuclear is about four times more expensive than solar and wind.

>Does your 'money pit' statement account for the benefits of reduced mortality and greenhouse emissions, or are you only thinking about the electric bill?

I don't live in fantasy land, somebody has to pay for it. I am already on the hook for PG&E's misdeeds.

Having tens of nuclear graveyards, especially close to population centers is not a good idea when California is covered with active faults. Nuclear needs water and lots of it. Perhaps you are not familiar with California.

Motorcycles also pollutes more per mile than a light truck. They generate less carbon dioxide but produces four times more hydrocarbons, thirty times more nitrogen oxides, and eighty times more carbon monoxide.

You are partially correct. It is corrupt at all levels, union and management. Laziness and incompetence all around.

You clearly don't understand CARB. It has far reaching power since its inception in 1976 via legislative statute. This is no different than the power bestowed to the FTC or FCC at the federal level.

Because the governor cannot ban gasoline cars, he doesn't have that authority.

The title is click bait. What actually happened was the governor directed the California Air Resources Board to establish regulations requiring that all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California in 2035 be zero-emission vehicles.

That said, the state is going to need to address the power grid and lack of charging overall but especially in residential. California has had power outages this year caused by fire and demands on the grid. I don't see this being solved within fifteen years considering little has been done within the last fifteen to fix it.

FYI -- The foundation owns the IP, while the corporation manages software engineering and the Google search deal.

Obsidian, the company is called Obsidian Entertainment.

That said, the folks at Obsidian (especially the creators of the original Fallout and New Vegas) have said they have no interest in doing a Fallout game. Tim Cain specifically mentioned during the Outer Worlds Q&A that the Fallout ship had sailed.

Considering the court has had a Republican majority since 1989, I don't blame them.

Stop giving legal advice.

Billing clients in California can create a nexus but it depends on the amount of sales. A company is considered doing business and subject to California tax laws if state sales or property exceed the following amounts:

* CA sales of $601,967 or 25% of total sales.

* CA real and tangible personal property worth $60,197 or 25% of total property.

Also, if a company engages in any transaction for the purpose of financial gain within California, the Franchise Tax Board considers that doing business within the state. An example would be meeting potential clients during a professional conference and negotiating a sale. This can be done by either a member of the LLC, an employee, or an agent such as an independent contractor.

FYI -- You and your partner could have formed a general partnership, gotten a separate TIN from the FTB and IRS, and registered a ficticous business name with the county. When the company is ready to sell software, you can transition from a GP to an LLC. Your CPA should have told you this; get a better one next time.

This sentiment has been around for decades. My family moved to Southern California from Illinois in the 1970s and there were bumper stickers that said, "Welcome to California, now go back home."

There is also a TARGET TRANSPORTATION LIMITED on the list. PayPal, in their infinite stupidity, would probably block transfers to the retailer Target.

Wrong. Assets under U.S. jurisdiction that are owned by or being transferred to persons or organizations on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List must be frozen. Furthermore, the Department of Treasury has a right to seize these funds without due process.

Or you can do searches.

No you won't because names are not unique. Banks and credit unions tend to have sophisticated data analysis, unlike the knuckleheads at PayPal.

When I heard about this nonsense years ago, I put some of the banned words in the memo area of checks and transferred money between two credit union accounts. They went through. I did the same thing using electronic transfers between accounts. Again, they went through without any problem.

A person put the words "James Kang" in a donation to the Red Cross that stated he was testing these banned words and PayPal, in their infinite stupidity, froze the transaction.

That is because SoftBank didn't know what to do with Sprint and refused to invest money into the business. When SoftBank bought Sprint, the company was profitable and T-Mobile was unprofitable. Deutsche Telekom had been trying to offload T-Mobile for years but wanted more than it was worth. Slowly the tables turned and T-Mobile became profitable while Sprint started losing money.

Masayoshi Son is the Eddie Lampert of Japan. Son used to be worth about $100 billion, but his bad investments via SoftBank over the last twenty years cut $80 billion off his wealth.

San Francisco on the other hand is hurting. Both rents and home prices are down.

The reverse is also true. Their desire for affordable housing doesn't trump people's desire to not live near denser housing.

>If you're so concerned about carbon footprint reduction...

I don't have children or pets. I have worked from home for the last 20 years.

We really need to reduce the population. It will help with carbon footprint reduction too.
