Copyright Balls: Spotify versus Thom Yorke and Dre's Beats
SPOTIFY has been incredibly divisive in the music industry, with some looking at it like a perfectly good promo tool to promote artists, while others think it's stealing all their lovely royalties.

1 Crime Fighting with Twinkies: Comic Book Superheroes Turn To Sugary Cream-Filled Cake
