Rumblings today indicate that the SCOTUS may be considering granting cert. on the Rap Genius vs. Google case on whether copyright law preempts terms of service:

Here is an article: news.bloomberglaw.com/ip-law/google-…
Or, if you prefer, here is a parody song I wrote called "Preemption Song"

Preemption Song is sung to the tune of Bob Marley's Redemption Song):
#SCOTUS #termsofservice #copyright #preemption #Google #RapGenius

[Verse 1]
New pirates, yes, they rob I
Say I of the Google scripts
Scraping music like a spy
Took Rap Genius lyrics
But my brief was made strong
By the T-O-S declaration
We contract with this generation
Triumphantly

[Chorus]
It’s just this one thing
The copyright laws.
'Cause all I ever need
Preemption song
