A growing number of musicians have signed a letter organized by Fight for the Future in a campaign demanding UMG and other music labels drop their lawsuit against the Internet Archive, the nonprofit online library best known for the Wayback Machine. Around 630 musicians, including Tegan & Sara, Open Mike Eagle, Amanda Palmer, and Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, have signed the letter.
“Over 600 musicians are speaking out to demand that major labels drop a lawsuit aimed to destroy the Internet Archive — and for their industry to take concrete actions to realign their actions with the interests of working artists,” explains the Save the Archive website. “It’s time for the music industry to support the artistic legacies and futures of working musicians — not shareholder profits.”
“We, the undersigned musicians, wholeheartedly oppose major record labels’ unjust lawsuit targeting the Internet Archive, a crucial nonprofit cultural institution. We don’t believe that the Internet Archive should be destroyed in our name. The biggest players of our industry clearly need better ideas for supporting us, the artists, and in this letter we are offering them,” the letter begins.
“By 2031, music industry revenues will exceed 100 billion dollars, yet the average musician is struggling to survive. We’re priced out of touring by Live Nation’s abusive monopolies, and screwed over on royalties as big labels profit from Spotify’s unfair streaming revenue model,” they explain.
“Music is demonetized and censored by DSPs, sued off the Internet Archive by major labels, and physical archives have gone up in flames because of corporate profiteering. It’s no surprise that mental health is a crisis among musicians — we’re sick with worry, wondering if anything will be left of our life’s work.”
“The music industry is not struggling anymore. Only musicians are,” they continue. “We demand a course-correction now, focused on the legacies and futures of working musicians. We call on all record labels, streaming platforms, ticketing outlets, and venues to immediately align [with our] goals.”
Should the labels be successful in their lawsuit, the Internet Archive could be forced to pay up to $621 million in damages for the music streamed through the archive since 2006. The Internet Archive recently lost its appeal in an ongoing lawsuit with book publishers over ebook lending. According to the Internet Archive, its digital book library can lend out ebooks under fair use, but several judges have ruled otherwise.

Following yesterday’s news that Parker Kligerman and Big Machine Racing would join forces with Forte Racing and the returning Misha Goikhberg at Daytona, Mario Farnbacher has been confirmed as Goikhberg’s full-season team-mate in the #78 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2.
Farnbacher, a two-time IMSA GTD champion with Meyer Shank Racing in 2019-2020, comes to the team after running six races with Heart of Racing Team in GTD Pro last season, with a best finish of fourth at Daytona and Petit Le Mans.
“It’s my first day in the new job and it was nice to get into this new environment and into the new challenges as well,” Farnbacher said yesterday during a private test at Daytona. “I think the first test day today was good. Definitely a lot of things that are new that I need to learn and get my head around. I think we made some good progress and are getting to know each other as a new team.
“Really looking forward to the future and the Roar [Before the 24] and Daytona weekends. I think we have a strong package and I’m really looking forward to this season. I’d like to thank the team and Lamborghini for giving me this opportunity.”
Farnbacher has ten career IMSA victories, including two in the Sebring 12 Hours and two in Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta. He also won the 2017 GTD Michelin Endurance Cup with Riley Motorsports and the 2022 GT World Challenge America Pro-Am title with Racers Edge Motorsports.
Goikhberg returns to Forte Racing for a third season. He was part of Forte’s first GTD class-winning line-up at the 2023 Motul Petit Le Mans, and finished fifth in the GTD standings in each of the last two seasons.
“Very happy to work alongside Mario (Farnbacher) for the full season,” Goikhberg said. “He needs no introductions in GT racing and has won multiple championships. We were on sister cars in 2020, so we know each other very well.
“Also, I would like to welcome Parker (Kligerman) to the team,” the Canadian driver added. “He is a big stock car talent, and all-around wheelman. Not the worst guy to have matching Rolexes come the end of January.”
With Kligerman – plus a Michelin Endurance Cup driver to be named later – joining at Daytona, Forte Racing GTD Programme Manager Michael Harvey is hoping for a strong start to the season.
“It’s a pleasure to watch this group grow,” Harvey said. “We are very committed to taking the next step as we fight for a championship. So happy to continue this journey with Misha, and super excited to add a multiple champion like Mario to the programme. His experience will be invaluable. We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to be able to add Parker to our Rolex charge – definitely a talent who will shine over the 24 hours.”

Yesterday, the team of the well-known NFT project Pudgy Penguins officially released the airdrop of the new token PENGU, debuting with an FDV of 4.4 billion dollars.
The launch encountered quite a few problems, but the supporters of the digital penguin collection still celebrated a prize of 92,000 dollars.
However, right after the airdrop, the price of Pudgy Penguins dropped by 50%.
Let’s see all the details below.
Summary
Pudgy Penguins, fourth NFT project in terms of market cap, debuted yesterday on the crypto market with its native token PENGU.
The launch of the new resource was used to celebrate the success of the digital avatar community experienced in the last 3 years.
Since the introduction of the collection of 8,888 items that represent unique and adorable penguins, the ecosystem has grown significantly, attracting extraordinary attention.
The group led by CEO Luca Netz has garnered over 50 billion views across various social media platforms, becoming entrenched in the collective imagination of virtual animation.
Consider even that at Walmart and other 10,000 stores, over 1.5 million toys of this brand have been sold.
The design of penguins, which appear cute and cuddly, has made them highly desirable as profile pictures (PFP) on various social platforms, driving significant speculative activity in the NFT market.
To recognize all the milestones achieved up to today, the Pudgy Penguins team has decided to reward its community by inaugurating PENGU.
Introducing $PENGU, the official coin of Pudgy Penguins.

PENGU has a circulating supply of 62.41 billion tokens, with a maximum supply of 88.88 billion units. It was launched on the blockchain of Solana, famous for the solid trading activity in the memecoin sector.
The tokenomics of the new currency is presented as shown in the figure, with the Pudgy community enjoying 25.9% of the supply.
Other groups connected to Pudgy Penguins receive an allocation equal to 24.12%, while the initial liquidity for the crypto exchanges is met with 12.35% of PENGU tokens.
The digital penguins company is allocated 11.48%, while the NFT project team earns 17.8%, both with a one-year cliff and three years of vesting.
A sum of 4% is also allocated for charity works, 4% for marketing purposes, and 0.35% for the holders of FTT.
The airdrop of the PENGU token involved a wide range of users, with over 783,000 addresses claiming the coin. Several people involved in the NFT sector were rewarded, such as holders of the Pudgy Penguins and Lil Penguins collections.
The “Original Gangster” (OG) of the blockchain of Ethereum and Solana have also received the incentive, meaning those people who have been active for years in the respective chains.
Here is the link to check eligibility: https://claim.pudgypenguins.com
What stands out the most, however, is the allocation set aside for each individual item of the Pudgy Penguins collection, as at launch it corresponded to a monetary value of 92,000 dollars.
At the moment, the holders amount to about 394,000 addresses, highlighting that almost half of the eligible subjects sold PENGU on the first day of trading.
Curious to note how according to Dune Analytics data, 85% of current holders have less than 10,000 PENGU, or about 330 dollars.

The site is a bit buggy at the moment

Deadline: 88 days from now

– Connect your ethereum and phantom wallets to check
– Even Ethereum OG users are eligible

Let me know in the comments if you… https://t.co/W9gTVJ41R9 pic.twitter.com/OXI3bE4H8R
Equally interesting to observe how the value on the market of the NFT collection Pudgy Penguins has collapsed, despite the juicy prize received.
While in the last 3 months the price of such virtual penguins had skyrocketed, going from a floor price of about 10 ETH up to 35 ETH, yesterday the value dropped by 50%.
In a few hours, the users who redeemed the PENGU airdrop chose to sell the NFT en masse, reflecting its low utility in the market.
It is evident that a large portion of its previous holders had purchased it during the year solely and exclusively to be eligible for the airdrop.

PENGU was launched with a FDV of 4.4 billion dollars at a price per token of approximately 0.05 dollars.
The selling pressure was strong in the early hours of trading, enough to bring the value of the new cryptographic asset to 0.027 dollars.
Now PENGU has stabilized around 0.033 dollars, with a market cap of 2 billion dollars and an FDV of 3 billion dollars.
Since the first minutes after the launch, it has been listed by the major centralized exchanges like Bybit, Bitget, Okx, and Gate.io. The asset is also present on the DEX of the Solana blockchain, such as Raydium and Orca.
At this moment PENGU represents the 74th currency in the crypto market by market capitalization, just below Worldcoin and Floki.
All in all, we can state that the launch was a success, even considering some bugs in the claim platform and the bear price action.
Regarding the forecasts, it is possible that PENGU may suffer from a further bear push in the coming weeks. 
The high valuation at launch and the limited utility of the token contribute to diluting the shares on the market, increasing its negative volatility.
In the future, it will be necessary to understand how PENGU can fit into market logic and become a useful and attractive currency in the eyes of investors.
For the moment, we do not find any particular reason to be bullish, except for the possibility of a future airdrop recognition for the token holders by the Pudgy Penguins team.

Melanie Cruz may be a self-described introvert, but she is demonstrably outgoing when it comes to promoting health access.
Cruz graduates this month with her second degree from Virginia Commonwealth University – a master’s in public health. Along the way, she has built an impressive résumé, highlighted by her inclusion in the selective Virginia Management Fellows Program and her bilingual initiatives.
Cruz became interested in public health during her undergraduate studies at VCU when she visited the Dominican Republic with the School of Medicine. She has a Spanish-speaking background – her family is from Honduras – and she worked as a medical interpreter. During what she called her “eye-opening” visit, she saw the limited health care available for rural communities.
“These experiences inspired me to pursue a career in public health – to instill change and advocate for those affected in these communities,” Cruz said.
Her advocacy mindset is being framed in part by serving as a Virginia Management Fellow, which allows her to complete three eight-month rotations at state agencies. The program lets students and newly graduated professionals explore careers in government, and Cruz has completed two of her three rotations – at the Department of Health Professionals and soon, the Department of Emergency Management.
“I’m really doing a little bit of everything, really, but most of my work has been around developing job aids and training materials,” Cruz said.
Though she is now well into the fellowship, she remembered how nervous she felt during the application process.
“It was pretty nerve-racking because it was around 300 people that applied,” Cruz said. “It was a very competitive internship, and 30 of us got selected.”
Cruz earned her VCU bachelor’s degree in biology from the College of Humanities and Sciences, with minors in chemistry and sociology, and she decided to pursue her master’s at VCU in the School of Public Health because she enjoys the “community engagement opportunities that the city provides.” That includes her volunteer work for Shalom Farms, a nonprofit that provides fresh produce to communities in Richmond. Her efforts have included translating documents from English to Spanish and helping at markets, mostly in Spanish-speaking communities.
“I told my advisor that I wanted to do volunteer work. I felt like I needed to be more engaged with the community. So, my advisor does nutrition research, and she had connections with Shalom Farms,” Cruz said. “It was honestly so much fun. I really enjoyed it.”
Cruz said she has been impressed by VCU’s diversity and had special praise for two of her professors with Latina backgrounds.
She met Gabriela León-Pérez, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Sociology, as an undergraduate and worked as a research assistant on one of her projects.
“I’ve been very impressed by Melanie’s dedication and intrinsic motivations, and how she has proactively sought out a variety of opportunities to strengthen her research skills and her public health training,” León-Pérez said.
And in the School of Public Health, Cruz met Elizabeth Prom-Wormley, Ph.D., an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology who described Cruz as “super quiet” but with a commitment and curiosity that shined through.
“She wants her work to impact her community, the Latino community. She has a real passion for that,” Prom-Wormley said. “As a professor, It makes me motivated to help somebody so passionate about their commitment to making their community a better place.”
In January, shortly after graduation, Cruz will begin her third and final rotation as a Virginia Management Fellow. After she finishes the program in August, she hopes to get a job in public health – she is interested in health intervention development, program evaluation or policy analysis – and eventually attend medical school.
Her professors are excited about her future – and confident that Cruz’s passion will lead to great achievement.
Cruz is “willing to go the extra mile,” Prom-Wormley said, and “willing to put the work in.”

Charleston City Paper
MORNING HEADLINES  |  Gun violence on the nation’s school grounds has seen a notable uptick over the last four years, according to a review of data collected by the K-12 School Shooting Database. 
According to the report, there were 116 school gun incidents involving brandishing or shooting weapons in 2020, but the numbers jumped dramatically in the years following – from 257 incidents nationally in 2021 to 349 in 2023.  So far this year, there have been 326 incidents, the report said.
In a different metric across the nation since the beginning of this year, there have been 488 total mass shootings, which included those at schools, according to gunviolencearchive.org.
In South Carolina since Nov. 27, 20 people have been shot and killed across the state, including one in Charleston County.  Another 15 were hurt in shootings, according to data collected through the City Paper’s weekly Gun Violence Tracker.
In The New York Times today, David Riedman, the founder of the K-12 database, said researchers define shootings at schools in many different ways, “but in any one of those measures, the trend line is up.”
The uptick in school gun violence re-entered the national conversation this week after the authorities said a 15-year-old student opened fire at a Christian school in Madison, Wis., on Monday, killing another student and a teacher, while injuring six others.   And Dec. 14 was the twelfth anniversary of the Newtown, Conn., shooting that killed 20 students and six staffers at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
