Wow it's almost like there really was an armed coup on January 6th on our nation's Capital. Stewart Rhodes and Kelly Megs have been found guilty of sedition. But when it comes to their sentencing... it's actually not very clear how much time they will do. That's because there really isn't much precedent for this. Andrew has the breakdown!
Before that, though, we have a follow-up on the music episode. We share further thoughts inspired by some of the response we got. And we got a lot...

I know this is more of a trademark point than a copyright one, but Thomas describing the "ripping-off" of Star Trek made me think of genericization of product names like Kleenex or Frisbee replacing the base product name. At a certain point of popularity, a name becomes a cultural force unto itself and I think some motifs in music could theoretically become similarly foundational to understanding culture. Evoking Star Trek in order to evoke a more philosophically based sci-fi vibe makes sense to me in that context. I'm not sure how one would fully articulate or build a test for that though. As a slightly different aside there are also situations like the sampling of the Amen Break becoming the backbone of multiple genres of techno for decades. Who does one even sue in that situation? The amen break has become a cultural force unto itself in the world of techno in my opinion.

I'm surprised no one has brought up how John Williams "borrowed" from Holst's "The Planets" for a lot of the music in Star Wars. It's pretty clear that he was using a similar feel, and even some nearly note-for-note progressions.
