Considering there is no ongoing revenue stream, how much money would it really take for AMPAS, VES, ILM, or *someone* to just buy the rights to the whole schmeer and make the pdfs available to the world as an important historical record of that era of VFX history?

CBS didn't run the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, but over here at @propublica.org we've been working on the story since March, including finding out who each and every man sent to that maximum security prison was.

I donโ€™t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content theyโ€™re presenting.

Are claims to be filed by authors, or by copyright holders (usually the publisher)?

I've spent my career working on rendering for film, and I'm here to tell you that I have also seen my fair share of 0 and 1 being used in the heat of battle. And some other constants I'm not sure I should mention.

Congrats! The only one I missed in the last 36 was in 2006, the week after my son Jack was born. This year, he is attending for the first time as a student volunteer! It goes by so fast!

The statute she quoted talks about audits but the question she asked is about terminating tax exempt status. I wouldn't know how to answer that question, either. I sure hope the answer is that it's illegal, but I don't see how that's established by the quoted passage. What am I missing here?
