  @elEmilio_W The problem is he thinks he has more pull in Hollywood than writers and directors. You don’t even know the source material, why the *** are you producing a full feature film about a Shazam villian.

  @TheBatspecter It really was the DCEU itself, Lego DC was at its best at that time (add to that the success of Lego Batman Movie)Lego DC really went down the drain when the movies didn't seem to have direction (you know, Shazam, Joker, TSS, SnyderCut) The only one that had a set was WW84.

  @YRANACKCALB The huge problem is Shazam is the personality of the both actors. They are really different

  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.

  distrokid stays robbing me 99¢ per track. In the past I only added the shazam discovery to my tracks and ever since apple music bought shazam and make it essentially free to have your songs on shazam if they’re on apple music so to keep that charge valid they have it register with nielsen sounds can and all that ****, which is now called Luminate long story short they by it no right to collect money for a service they don’t provide anymore. i didn’t ask to have my **** on neilson soundscan/luminate, i added the discovery for shazam when that was the only service offered in the discovery pack. @DistroKid you should automatically stop charging for any 99¢/track discovery pack bought before apple bought shazam. or at the very least notify people that shazam is free but they can either continue the discovery w neilson or opt tracks out of that discovery system. ESPECIALLY when i never gave you the rights to have my data on soundscan for those old songs when soundscan registration wasn’t in the discovery pack. you have no right at all that’s like if you had a meal prep delivery company deciding to start sending you **** that’s NOT good and keeping your subscription alive in bad faith because it’s just the same company deluging SOME service

  @CambsCops Why hasn't Shazam Choudhary been arrested for this Anti-Semitic advert? Why aren't the Police nationwide investigating @TheGreenParty for Anti-Semitism? It's time this party was SHUT DOWN!😡

  @juicyrosie23 Hulk and Thor have a chance. Thor has canonically beaten Shazam, and Hulk has canonically fought Superman while NOT angry, and Supes admitted it took everything he had to take Hulk down. Stark… a scant possibility if he figures out kryptonite. Cap? Sorry, NO.

  @LPNH There needs to be a Superhero who's the reverse of Shazam; he's superpowered until someone calls him a "******" and it powers him down into a child.

  I thought SBP was niched but then why ******** when I asked for some random comics (DNDM, Shazam, the SPECIFIC issue where Prime appeared) to the comic store guy he IMMEDIATELY clocked my *** that I wanted comics where Prime appeared and found the InfiniteCrisis hard cover for me

  @UpbvatReporter “A-an interview?” Shazam stammered nervously as he looked down at the reporter. He laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “With me? Are you sure? There’s plenty of other heroes around.”

  @jayjjalen I know the plots with his own villains are already so much better than king Shazam or the Ras plot. Like his parasite 2 issue was even better.

  @PlayBkPlay @nikomoon I had the terrible misfortune of hearing Beach Cowboy in a Target the other day. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, and I had to Shazam it to hear who was responsible for such a musical travesty. Seriously, this is why country music gets a bad rap. Complete garbage.

  @powcampsurvivor I remember in the movie they specifically mentioned watching Godzilla too. I don't know if that was real or just a fun line cause it was around that time. He DID base a lot of his persona on Shazam though so he'd be down with the cinematic universes too.

  @roger_stev82377 Shazam would have no issues even if they all came at him at once.

  @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

  @futurexhope This is actually true, yeah. The term AI is hard to define in itself and it can include tools like even Microsoft Word or Shazam if not delimited enough, but generative AI is a very specific part of it that is the core of the whole issue with AI these past years. Not that hard

  When you look at this DC movies run from Man of Steel to #Supergirl (removing the TV shows here), this is a monumentally terrible run. At some point, it's WB that's the issue here. WW, Shazam (maybe), Joker, The Batman and Superman are the only qualified successes artistically and financially. Aquaman made a billion, but it's a **** of a movie. I love Man of Steel and it turned a tidy profit, but it didn't blow up the box office. Everything else is mostly a crash and burn, a slight disappointment or a moderate success. This is a Jets or Browns team going 4-13 for the NFL season. YIKES!

  Lucid (@Lucid_BirdApp) reported 55 minutes ago

  @Exalted_Speed This is like how Shazam had a sequel 5 years after the original. Billy always had a ticking clock, especially when going with a teenage take. And the ages for all the YA actors were a little all over the place, which is a more of problem there than for the Avenegers

  @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

  @OrevaZSN You could probably do this with existing Shazam by uploading a bunch of tracks of various car sounds to YouTube or something with titles indicating the problem and waiting for Shazam to index them

  @Jaereku My issue isn't the dialogue or characters, but what is actually happening in the comic can cross the line into the absurd. And not the funny or good kind. Having a Shazam expy that just rapes people is so goofy it takes me out. That's just one example.
