Reversal of Paralysis?

Image
Medical scientists have been developing and using brain implants and "Nerve Bridges" to reverse paralysis. If you didn't know Paralysis is the loss of ability to move due to illness, poison, or injury. This illness usually lasts a very long time if not for life! So you can understand how remarkable this new discovery is! For the longest time paralysis was thought to be irreversible, but thanks to medical advancements it now can be cured! People have already been cured by this medical miracle such as Darek Fidyka who was rendered unmovable from the chest down due to a knife attack. A British doctor then constructed a 'Nerve Bridge' for Darek connecting his spinal column back together! Isn't that amazing?! - Link to story -

Vanilla Ice Vs. David Bowie/Freddie Mercury Copyright Infringement Case

Image
In 1991 rap artist 'Vanilla Ice' published 'Ice, Ice Baby."  Which sampled but did not credit David Bowie/Freddie Mercury as the original author of the guitar in the background of the song . Vanilla Ice denied this but then later confessed when faced with a lawsuit from David Bowie/Freddie Mercury. The case was settled privately out of court with Vanilla Ice giving David Bowie/ Freddie Mercury an undisclosed amount of money and crediting him with the riff in the song.           Personally, I think the case was justified if you listen to both songs the riff is exactly the same. David Bowie/Freddie Mercury had every right to sue for copyright infringement since Vanilla Ice didn't even give credit where credit was literally due. David Bowie/ Freddy Mercury created the riff and once a song, writing, or anything is tangible it is protected by copyright law and the song was most definitely not in Public Domain yet. Honestly, I'm surprised how calmly they handle...
