The shoe folk at DSW Shoe Warehouse have been sued once again for using pop songs in their social media posts without getting the OK from copyright owners. This time it’s Sony Music suing US shoe shop giant DSW over the alleged “rampant infringement” of copyright, following the lead of Warner Music, which filed similar legal action earlier this year.

YouTuber Basically Homeless has started electrocuting himself to get better at online shooter Counter-Strike 2.
