The Biden ask that may be too much for Europe

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 05:31:01 GMT

HIROSHIMA, Japan — When President Joe Biden arrives here for the G-7 summit, he and other leaders will be focused as much — and maybe even more — on economic competition with China as they are with Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.Formed to foster cooperation among the world’s biggest economies, the G-7 has demonstrated its versatility as a geopolitical force and a new degree of unity in its response to the war. But now, with a sanctions regime in place, advanced weapons flowing to Ukraine and the fighting at something of a stalemate, there is less demand for the immediate attention of these leaders. And Japan, this year’s host, is eager to focus on economic competition and security in the Pacific, as well as — given the chosen location of Hiroshima — the necessity of preventing a new nuclear arms race.But that doesn’t mean Ukraine will be off the table. The U.S. has put forth one policy proposal related to the war — one that could test the unanimity within the G-7. It involves trade...

By JESSICA GRESKO (Associated Press)WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled in favor of a photographer who claimed the late Andy Warhol had violated her copyright on a photograph of the singer Prince.“Lynn Goldsmith’s original works, like those of other photographers, are entitled to copyright protection, even against famous artists,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in an opinion joined by six of her colleagues.The case involved images Warhol created of Prince as part of a 1984 commission for Vanity Fair. Warhol used one of Goldsmith’s photos as a starting point, a so-called artist reference, and Vanity Fair paid Goldsmith to license the photo. Warhol then created a series of images in his signature style. Vanity Fair chose one of the images — Prince with a purple face — to run in the magazine. The magazine ran another image from the series on its cover following Prince’s 2016 death. It was that second use that the justices...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday sidestepped a case against Google that might have allowed more lawsuits against social media companies.The justices’ decision returns to a lower court the case of a family of an American college student who was killed in an Islamic State terrorist attack in Paris. The family wants to sue Google for YouTube videos they said helped attract IS recruits and radicalize them. Google owns YouTube.Google claims immunity from the lawsuit under a 1996 law that generally shields social media company for content posted by others. Lower courts agreed with Google.The justices had agreed to consider whether the legal shield is too broad. But in arguments in February, several sounded reluctant to weigh in now.In an unsigned opinion Thursday, the court wrote that it was declining to address the law at issue. The outcome is, at least for now, a victory for the tech industry, which predicted havoc on the internet if Google lost. But the high ...
