  @NickZednik If this is the math we are trying to math with, Levi is only one worth bringing back going by Shazam 1 performance. Anyone, burn it all down.

  Anti-Flag - “Broken Bones” it's whatever Arkells - “Whistleblower” don't like this band at all but this has some energy to it it's decent Band of Skulls - “The Devil Takes Care of His Own” i blame the black keys for all the mid blues rock they kept putting in these games Bassnectar - “Pennywise Tribute” 7/10 i don't even know much you could even call this a remix but the original is cool Battleme - “Shoot the Noise, Man” even the electric stuff has to be bluesy apparently Classified - “Run with Me” this is so so bad i can't even pretend to like it for halifax reasons Foxy Shazam - “I Like It” the uncensored chorus is insane. song's so ******* annoying Gaslight Anthem - “45” good song on imo a great album The Heavy - “What Makes a Good Man” pretty cool stuff The Hives - “I Want More” good band but really annoying Monster Truck - “Seven Seas Blues” it's fine but enough of the big burly beard blues rock My Darkest Days - “Save Yourself” at least it's catchy but i hate the hot topic pop metal The Offspring - “Days Go By” maybe the most shameless rip off song i've ever heard, just cover foo fighters instead Shinedown - “Bully” garbage Thousand Foot Krutch - “Light Up the Sky” no

  @Paapi_Billota just admit that the last 6 movies in that universe were utter **** from Shazam to the Flash. they were so bad, they had to shut down the universe, and your boy was still grieving over his daughter killing herself.

  @p3aced3fender2 @doubtfully_xD you cant shazam the song, not because its in arabic, but probably because its taken down from youtube and spotify.

  @garaa_arc The fact he refused to work with Shazam was also a huge problem. His ego got in the way.

  COSOMA’s Blank Media Levy A THREAD 1/ Everybody is arguing about COSOMA payouts, but most people don’t even know what the Blank Media Levy actually is. Some think it’s government tax. Some think it’s Spotify money. Some think COSOMA just wakes up and chooses who to pay. None of that is true. So let’s break it down. 2/ Imagine you make a song. Thousands of people save it on their phones, laptops, memory cards and flash drives. Even if they don’t sell your music, they’re still making copies of it. Now imagine trying to ask every single person to pay you. Impossible, right? 3/ That’s why copyright law created the Blank Media Levy. Instead of chasing millions of people who copy music for personal use, a small levy is collected whenever devices that can store copyrighted content are imported into Malawi. That money goes into one big pool for creators. 4/ The devices include: • Phones • Laptops • Tablets • Flash drives • Hard drives • Memory cards • CDs & DVDs Basically, anything people use to store music, movies or books. 5/ So who collects this money? MRA. Think of MRA as the cashier. When importers bring these products into Malawi, MRA collects the Blank Media Levy together with other applicable charges. It then remits the money to COSOMA. MRA doesn’t decide who gets paid. 6/ Now COSOMA has one big pot of money. Thousands of musicians, filmmakers, writers and other creators are waiting for a share. So… How does COSOMA decide who gets what? 7/ Most people think it’s based on popularity. It isn’t. COSOMA isn’t supposed to ask: “Who’s the biggest artist?” It’s supposed to ask: “Whose copyrighted work was used the most according to the data available?” 8/ Think of two students. One is the most popular kid in school. The other has perfect attendance. Those aren’t always the same person. Royalties work the same way. Popularity and measured usage are not always the same thing. 9/ So how does COSOMA measure usage? Through a monitoring system. Think of it like a football referee. The referee doesn’t guess who scored. He keeps score throughout the game. 10/ Radio stations and TV stations keep playlists and broadcast logs showing every song they play. COSOMA collects that information and uses it to estimate how often songs were broadcast. The more qualifying plays your music gets, the bigger your potential share. 11/ Many copyright societies around the world also use music recognition technology (similar to Shazam) to automatically identify songs played on radio and TV. COSOMA has said it uses monitoring and broadcast data, although it hasn’t publicly explained every technical detail of its system. 12/ Imagine the monitoring results look like this: Artist A — 1,000 plays Artist B — 700 plays Artist C — 300 plays If royalties are shared using that data, Artist A gets a bigger slice than Artist C. Simple. 13/ Now here’s where the debate begins. People ask: “What about churches?” “What about weddings?” “What about crusades?” “What about minibuses blasting gospel all day?” If those uses aren’t captured in the monitoring data, they may not significantly affect the payout. 14/ People ask the same questions about: • YouTube • Spotify • TikTok • Facebook Those don’t automatically count towards Blank Media Levy distributions because they involve different rights and different royalty systems. 15/ This is why an artist can have millions of views… Fill stadiums… Trend every week… …and still receive a royalty payment that surprises everyone. Because popularity isn’t automatically the same as documented copyright use. 16/ So why do some artists receive millions while others receive much less? Generally because of: • More qualifying radio & TV airplay • More licensed public performances • Proper registration of their works • Their ownership share of the copyright Not simply because they’re more famous.

  @JovanHoward13 Crazy thing though for DC (and any superhero franchise for that matter), anyone can be casted for whatever role. I love The Rock, but he forgot he doesn't own that character like that. If they fix Shazam down the line, then so be it. I'll probs be in my 70s by then lol

  @damiebi10 JLA flopped, Shazam flopped both of them, Blue beetle flopped, wonder woman '84 flopped, flash definitely flopped despite cameos from JLA members, and Aquaman 2, flopped, yeah you guys never talk about the terrible second half you had.

  ankle (@ankleknuckle) reported 32 minutes ago

  @DIRTBAGCLOWN @EXCELSIORSPEAKS really the titans are the bigger issue imo. unnecessary to have damian as a second robin, and having ALL of starfire, cyborg, raven, and zatanna is indulgent in a roster without like, the flash or shazam or supergirl

  @C_JuniorsMagic I admit I'm guilty of rambling about bad quality control, but it's not like we haven't had these errors before. I remember getting a DC Minis pack with 2 Firestorm Flynns and no Shazam Arry. And I have a Robo Toby misprint. These things happen.

  @Billy_batshed Otherwise idk how high id rate it for Freddy, i think it was very fun to have kon interact with someone his age and theyre very fun together i wish i got to see them more often... but im very interested in what your reaction to the issue would be as a shazam fan

  @absolute_verse I swear that’s the only reason they named it that so people thought it would be like the comic, my only issue with a KO fighting game is 32 is a giant roster for a fighting game and there’s only like Shazam and Mxy you could do as DLC from the comic

  @donovanmartin5 At this point I dont believe snyder will be back. Sure I preferred his style and tone. But that doesnt mean i can pretend this DCU stuff is interesting. Superman was entertaining but it still felt very cookie cutter and safe to appease all the old complaints. All these suit designs are just awful too. Supergirls box office is also telling that the dcus problems are abit more larger than a vocal minority. I dont know what the answer is for DC but I do know judging by everything since Birds of prey, shazam 2, ww84 that they need to ditch the action comedy feel good "family" stuff. Avatar is a great example of what the tone should be. Families watch avatar. They dont need to make everything "light hearted" for a family to watch it.

  @axel12381403 @FandomWasp I think this was miles better than the shazam issue though this was actually meaningful to Jon's character and was never meant to be a supersons thing, plus its in Txyz character to mock Jon with the aging up comment, he's trying to ruin Jon so he never gets defeated eventually

  ☛Sir Fedupalot ☛relentless pogonotropher (@SandyEgoCali) reported 42 minutes ago

  @KurtSchlichter I never heard anything by them that was worthy of my attention I guess because I'm not a preteen. But having said that I was watching something—it was either a movie or TV series I can't remember—but this song came on that intrigued me and I hit Shazam and turns out that it was by someone who was in the monkeys but I don't know how it was released. Anyway I think it was called "I'm going down". it was definitely unlike anything I'd heard by them, although I may have heard a total of three or four songs I'm guessing, but this guy had some serious vocal chops. You know who I'm talking about?

  @mjarbo The VFX were another issue. If they would have removed that whole bus outer space segment that could have dropped the budget probably 30 - 50 million. These movies don't have to be effects heavy. Beetle and Shazam 2 were shot for 59 million less

  @_NamelessGoon @redaction I remember spending like 30 minutes trying to find it and had to play it on computer and Shazam on phone. So I figured I'd do some community service and just post the band name lol.
