PARIS (Reuters) - Jean-Paul Belmondo est mort à l'âge de 88 ans, a annoncé lundi son avocat.
Né à Neuilly-sur-Seine le 9 avril 1933 dans une famille d'artistes - son père était le célèbre sculpteur Paul Belmondo et sa mère artiste-peintre - sa vocation d'acteur prendra rapidement le dessus sur la boxe et le football, deux sports où il excelle dans sa jeunesse.
En 1951, il rentre au Conservatoire où il se lie d'amitié avec Jean-Pierre Marielle et Jean Rochefort et fait ses débuts sur les planches dans la "Mégère apprivoisée".

The simulcast of the 2020 MTV VMAs drew 6.4 million total viewers on Sunday, counting the pre-show, post-show, main show and encores, which is down 5% from the comparable 6.8 million tally for last year’s show.
MTV’s research and PR teams combined Nielsen’s linear numbers for the awards show with their own internal digital data into a new measurement called “Total Minutes Consumed” (TMC), which they say came to 1.330 billion vs. 2019’s 1.229 billion.
In an effort to attract cord-cutters to the annual special, ViacomCBS made the 2020 VMAs, hosted by Keke Palmer, available on The CW (a broadcast network co-owned by ViacomCBS and WarnerMedia), marking the first time the VMAs have been free to watch via antennas.

Led Zeppelin won a major copyright battle settling a dispute over whether the band’s iconic “Stairway to Heaven” song stole from Spirit’s 1968 song “Taurus.”
The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a jury’s previous decision which found Led Zeppelin to be in the right in 2016. Monday’s decision follows an appellate court vote to re-do of the trial with a larger panel of judges.
The decision overturned the “inverse ratio rule” precedent, which has largely controlled copyright cases in the 9th circuit for the past 43 years.

In just over two years, Scott Stuber, Netflix's vice president of film, has overseen the biggest steps the streaming company has taken to become a major player in the movie business.

It's no secret that Disney is almost solely responsible for the wild expansion of copyright law that has occurred over the course of decades. In addition to the near constant lobbying for longer copyright term lengths and a heavy-handed approach to enforcement, Disney has also found itself attempting to assert copyright in areas of broad ideas rather than literal copying. Perhaps to some, then, it was a shot of schadenfreude to watch Disney face its own lawsuit brought by screenwriters over its Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Way back in 2000, two writers and a producer pitched a script about pirate Davy Jones to Disney, which the company ultimate rejected. In 2004, Disney released the first of its own Pirates movies starring Johnny Depp.

But no amount of just desserts ought to change the legal principles in copyright law, so it's still a good thing to see that the court has struck down the copyright suit on the grounds that the scripts aren't actually similar, aside from some ...
