February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

THE BLACKLIST Written by Jon Bokenkamp December 28, 2012 TEASER We hear RESTLESS VOICES. Screaming children. The swell of a hundred fighting languages tells us we’re stuck in line at... INT. U.S. CUSTOMS - DAY The place is packed. Smells like travel. Among this dizzy mob, one very composed American commands our attention. He approaches the window and opens his passport -- -- Meet RAYMOND “RED” REDDINGTON (55). Dignified. Worldly. He wears a perfectly tailored suit and carries himself with a sense of purpose. CUSTOMS AGENT Where you been, sir? RED Singapore. Business. CUSTOMS AGENT And where we headed? RED Home. Red smiles. His confidence is magnetic. As the agent STAMPS his passport, Mel Torme’s driving “Comin’ Home Baby” sends us hurtling through: EXT. WASHINGTON, D.C. - DAY We dance through the capitol city. The National Mall. The Lincoln Memorial. The pace is energetic and bright as -- -- Red is chauffeured through the city by A MAN IN A GREY FLANNEL SUIT. Passing monuments reflect in the glass of his limo as Red rolls down the window, drinks in his hometown. ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE... Red steps from the car. Finds himself standing in the shadow of a daunting concrete structure. He looks up, delighted to see the words etched in the facade: J. Edgar Hoover Building. INSIDE F.B.I. HEADQUARTERS... Red strides through the lobby with purpose. He’s been here before. Belongs here. Finds his way to a FEMALE GUARD at the security desk. RED Good afternoon. I’m here to see Assistant Director Harold Cooper. 2. GUARD Do you have an appointment? RED Tell him it’s Raymond Reddington. -

The 2014 Sony Hack and the Role of International Law
The 2014 Sony Hack and the Role of International Law Clare Sullivan* INTRODUCTION 2014 has been dubbed “the year of the hack” because of the number of hacks reported by the U.S. federal government and major U.S. corporations in busi- nesses ranging from retail to banking and communications. According to one report there were 1,541 incidents resulting in the breach of 1,023,108,267 records, a 78 percent increase in the number of personal data records compro- mised compared to 2013.1 However, the 2014 hack of Sony Pictures Entertain- ment Inc. (Sony) was unique in nature and in the way it was orchestrated and its effects. Based in Culver City, California, Sony is the movie making and entertain- ment unit of Sony Corporation of America,2 the U.S. arm of Japanese electron- ics company Sony Corporation.3 The hack, discovered in November 2014, did not follow the usual pattern of hackers attempting illicit activities against a business. It did not specifically target credit card and banking information, nor did the hackers appear to have the usual motive of personal financial gain. The nature of the wrong and the harm inflicted was more wide ranging and their motivation was apparently ideological. Identifying the source and nature of the wrong and harm is crucial for the allocation of legal consequences. Analysis of the wrong and the harm show that the 2014 Sony hack4 was more than a breach of privacy and a criminal act. If, as the United States maintains, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (herein- after North Korea) was behind the Sony hack, the incident is governed by international law. -
