From 250k to 3.5bn Last February, we reported that Google had processed its 8 billionth DMCA takedown.

Decade after decade, Hollywood studios have produced many of the greatest movies ever committed to celluloid, together telling some of the most inspiring, terrifying, beautiful, outrageous, spectacular, and funny stories ever told. Movies make the impossible, possible, and when the Fmovies piracy empire was shuttered in 2024, the MPA showed that with enough time, effort, resources, and persistence, impossible achievements aren’t necessarily confined to the silver screen.

Most notably, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a final rule imposing a near total ban on employee noncompetes that was immediately, and successfully, challenged in court. The FTCs rulemaking and subsequent litigation challenge last year may have contributed in part to the slowdown of attempts to enact new noncompete legislation at the state level.
