What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Taylor Swift ? Taylor Swiftâs lawyers  are trying to shake off claims that the âShake It Offâ singer stole lyrics with a new court motion.
 Swift  was sued in September by songwriters Sean Hall and Nathan Butler  who created the song âPlayas Gonâ Playâ for the girl group 3LW in 2001. The duo claimed that  Swift  stole their lyrics and used them in her famous hit single âShake It Off.â
On Wednesday  the singerâs lawyers asked the federal judge to dismiss the copyright lawsuit against  Swift  and argued that the concepts of players playing and haters hating are common music phrases and âpublic domain clichÃ©sâ that canât be claimed as copyright  according to Variety.
 Swift  used the familiar phrase in the chorus of her song which says  âPlayers gonna play  play  play  play  play  and haters gonna hate  hate  hate  hate  hate.â
âThere can be no copyright protection in âplayas  they gonna play and haters  they gonna hate â because it would impermissibly monopolize the idea that players will play and haters will hate â  Swift âs lawyers said. âPlaintiffsâ claim to being the only ones in the world who can refer to players playing and haters hating is frivolousâ¦ Providing a copyright monopoly in the phrase would prevent others from sharing the idea that players play and haters hate.â
To further prove their argument   Swift âs legal team went on to cite other examples of famous songs that use the âplayerâ and âhaterâ phrase such as âDreamsâ by Fleetwood Mac  in which the song says  âPlayers only love you when theyâre playing â and âPlaya Hater â by the Notorious B.I.G.  where the phrase âplaya  playa haterâ is used as the part of the songâs chorus.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John Fritchey ? Shuftan made his comments after Commissioners John Fritchey and Luis Arroyo Jr.  both Chicago Democrats  announced they would introduce a resolution next week to put the question on the March 20 primary ballot.
After his announcement   Fritchey  made the rounds of the county boardroom at an unrelated committee meeting  asking for support.
A longtime advocate of making recreational marijuana use legal   Fritchey  pointed to the legalization and taxation of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington. State and local governments in Illinois could expect to bring in $500 million a year in pot taxes based on those statesâ experiences   he  said.
âItâs about unclogging a court system that is overburdened â  Fritchey  said. âIf we can take these cases out of the court system  we will be doing a tremendous service not just to the individuals but to the court system as well.â
âAlmost 90 percent of these cases get dismissed  doing nothing but leaving individuals with an arrest record â  he  added. âWe are wasting court resources. We are damaging lives. And we have the ability to do better.â
Fritchey â a former state lawmaker â also said  he  hoped a successful ballot question in Cook County would spur legislators to take a vote on a potentially thorny issue during an election year in 2018.
Sen. Heather Steans and Rep. Kelly Cassidy  both of whom like  Fritchey  live on the cityâs North Side  introduced legislation in March to allow the possession of up to 28 grams of pot  or about an ounce  and to grow five plants. Their proposals call for a tax of $50 an ounce  plus the standard state 6.25 percent sales tax. Local governments like the city and county collect their own sales taxes  so they likely also would bring in more money as a result of legalization.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? Our sad national trajectory has been on display recently with  two oddly connected stories: Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore and the tax bill .  They  share a common thread in President Trump  but  their  significance goes beyond the president. Trump surely helped fuel the end of shame  but just as surely we were already on that degraded path.
No one who has watched  Moore  expected that reports of how  he  allegedly preyed on young girls would provoke shame from the egocentric  already discredited judge.  Moore  has long proved — with  his  flagrant disregard for constitutional values   his  homophobia and racism — that  he  is impervious to such feelings.
The open question involved  Moore ’s true-believing supporters and political allies of convenience: At long last  had they any decency? For some  including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and most of his colleagues  the answer has been a welcome yes. Others  most prominently Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey (R) and  inevitably  Trump  have failed what should have been an easy test. To conclude that electing an accused child molester to the Senate is preferable to seating a Democrat is the epitome of shamelessness.
And the president  for whom shamelessness has proven a potent tactic  pronounced himself persuaded by  Moore ’s similarly blatant approach: “He totally denies it.” But the more instructive moment came with Trump’s very first public words on the  Moore  reports: “I can tell you one thing for sure. We don’t need a liberal person in there  a Democrat.” Morality is a luxury with a 52-vote Senate majority. Shame is a millstone  or would be if Trump were capable of it.
What is truly stunning is Mulvaney’s brazen willingness to admit that the price tag is phony — specifically the notion that individual tax cuts will expire. Mulvaney  making the rounds of the Sunday shows  felt no need to dissemble. “One of the ways to game the system is to make things expire . . . a lot of this is a gimmick ” he told NBC. And  on CNN  “It’s simply trying to essentially manipulate the numbers and game the system.” In other words  we’re lying to you to ram this through    and we’re not even going to bother to hide  it .
