That so-called ground-breaking was strictly ceremonial, in an air-conditioned tent with rented construction vehicles as background props. With the clock ticking on getting a stadium ready for 2028, its owners haven't announced who'll be funding it and haven't started any real building.

The ebooks lawsuit seems to be drifting towards a publisher-supplied blacklist, allowing the Internet Archive to continue lending everything else.
I'm crossing my fingers that the 78 lawsuit could be settled in a similar way. Worried that the scratchy Glenn Miller shellac will displace sales of the same song currently on CD? Include that in a blacklist of songs "still in print" and let the Archive continue to promote all the others. They look like mostly orphan recordings to me.
The companies that would really make some cash from this law are those who will whip up boilerplate DPIAs. Like whoever sells the breakroom posters outlining the minimum wage rules and other stuff employers are required to show their workers.
Web sites will then fill out DPIAs like Mad Libs. "This site's goat customization feature uses cookies to maintain users' choices between online sessions." Just think - when other states and countries inevitably require parallel but different versions, there'll be folders full of DPIA-ish documents for every jurisdiction.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
I used to really love Norton, going way back to my MS-DOS days. I stopped being tempted to return when they pulled that weird auto-renew thing a few years ago.
In retrospect, it seems as though it really went south when it bought (merged with?) Lifelock, an outfit that always struck me as selling buckets of air. Maybe the Lifelock folks took over?
Hmm, how to say this without the wrong people getting excited about it. ...
The Internet Archive has a whole lot of video, much of it uploaded by the Community. Even today, if you used the right keywords to search for certain Mostly legiTimite Versions of items that it hosts, you could probably find some of the files you were looking for.
Two more tips:
When you see something you really like at the Archive, download it. I was about 40% through the set we're talking about before it vanished.
If you value what the Archive does, send them a donation. Hey, it's tax-deductible!

Should be "proposed" stadium, not "being built"
