Tensions between Spotify and the government in Turkey seem to have been overcome, for now at least, following a meeting between Turkish ministers and the streaming service earlier this week. There was speculation last month that those tensions might result in Spotify bailing on the Turkish market entirely. But not now. And all it took was a commitment to open an office in Istanbul. Writing on social media, Turkish Culture Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy revealed he had a meeting earlier this week with Spotify, which he dubbed “one of the pioneers of the global music industry”. That session, he said, had…

Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to reject Sean “Diddy” Combs’ bid to overturn his prostitution convictions – including his “meritless” claims that “freak-offs” were just porn movies protected by the First Amendment. In a filing Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, prosecutors say Diddy’s recent motion asking the judge to acquit him or order a new trial must be denied, arguing there was clearly enough evidence to support a jury’s guilty verdict on two counts of interstate prostitution. Related The feds are also unimpressed with Diddy’s creative alternative argument: that he was merely exercising his constitutional right to free speech…

When’s the last time that happened? “Oh…about a year and a half ago,” Takac says with a laugh. “In retrospect, it’s funny…. But, you know, it’s just silly. It turns into slap…
