xNY.io - Bank.org has respectfully; Recently received word that Mr. Zuckerberg is using Sport against xNY.io founder and Bank.org co-founder Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson.
Dear Meta Board Directors:
*ARE THE CLAIMS MADE BY POPE LEO XIV REGARDING MARK ZUCKERBERG AND GUNNAR LARSON TRUE?*
*See here:*
- https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1BxaYaM7fJ/
*"Pope Leo XIV presided over the mass of the Solemnity of the Holy Trinity and the Jubilee of Sports this Sunday morning (15/06), in the Basilica of Saint Peter, which had the participation of 3,500 people.*
*In his homily, the Pope stated that the Trinity-sport binomial is not used very often, but the association is not clear:*
*"In fact, every good human activity brings in itself a reflection of the beauty of God, and sport is certainly among them. After all, God is not static, nor is he closed to himself. It's communion, a living relationship between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, which opens up to humanity and the world. ”*
*Life sprouts from this divine dynamism, the Pope still said: "We were created by a God who enjoys himself and rejoices in giving existence to his creatures and who 'plays' as the first reading reminded us. Some church fathers even speak boldly about a God of people, a God who has fun. Here's why sport can help us find the Trino God: because it requires a movement from the self to the other, which is certainly external, but also and above all internal. Without it, it reduces to a barren competition of selfishness.”*
*Leo XIV also quoted the words of Saint John Paul II, who was, as we know, an athlete: "Sport is the joy of living, of playing, of partying, and as such should be valued," and he completed:*
*"Dear athletes, the Church entrusts you with a wonderful mission: to be a reflection of the love of God Trino in your activities, for your good and for the good of your brothers. Get enthusiastically involved in this mission: as athletes, as trainers, as a society, as groups, as families. ”*
*In conclusion, Leo XIV referred to the Mother of Jesus, so discreet, but so full of request, of dynamism, that "runs" to God and others, as Pope Francis liked to remember.*
*The Pope ended his homily inviting asking Mary to "accompany our initiatives and our efforts, always guiding them for the best, until the ultimate victory: that of eternity, the 'infinite field' where the game will have no end and the joy will be full"."*

*Understanding Tortious* *Interference Claims in California: *
*Robinson Bradford LLP Aug. 22, 2022*
*Business competition can sometimes be ruthless, but just competing with another entity for customers, sales, and profits is not generally illegal. However, both California contract law and tort law allow for legal action when a third party wrongfully interferes with a contract or ongoing business relationship to the detriment of the affected party. This type of action falls under the general label of tortious interference. A tort, unlike a crime, is a civil wrong that can be addressed in civil court. *

The gap between the need for civil legal services for Californians and the help that is actually available has grown over the past five years, as has the income level of those affected by that gap, according to a new study from the State Bar of California.

The Court further noted that TV-Novosti had "not changed the purpose >>>>> of the parallax-enhanced images," i.e., to provide visual illustration for >>>>> the overlain audio commentary, but had instead "simply lifted the >>>>> copyrighted depictions . .. for the purpose of illustrating [TV-Novosti's] >>>>> own video." In addition, the Court found that the fact that TV-Novosti >>>>> could have sought to pay for the clips, but didn't, and tried to hide its >>>>> use of the excerpts from YouTube's algorithms, also weighed against a >>>>> finding a fair use under the first factor. >>>>> >>>>> Regarding the second factor, concerning the nature of the >>>>> copyrighted work, the Court initially noted that factual material such as >>>>> that at issue, "cuts less closely to the core of copyright." Nevertheless, >>>>> the Court held that the fact that source material for Business Casual's >>>>> videos was in the public domain weighed against finding fair use, because >>>>> TV Novosti could have simply used public domain photos of the historical >>>>> figures, rather than the modified clips, to create its videos. >>>>> >>>>> Regarding the third factor, concerning the amount of use in >>>>> relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, the Court noted that while >>>>> only "small portions of the entire copyrighted works were used"—excerpts >>>>> of 7 seconds, 1 minute and 28 seconds, and 8 minutes and 50 seconds in >>>>> length—the portions were "not so trivial as to warrant dismissal under the >>>>> de minimis doctrine." >>>>> >>>>> Lastly, regarding the fourth factor, concerning the effect of >>>>> the use on the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work, the >>>>> Court noted that this factor "ask[s] not whether the second work would >>>>> damage the market for the first (by, for example, devaluing it through >>>>> parody or criticism), but whether it usurps the market for the first by >>>>> offering a competing substitute." With this framing, the Court thus found >>>>> that while one the one hand, TV-Novosti's "videos are alternative ways of >>>>> learning about the lives of J.P. Morgan and John D. Rockefeller," on the >>>>> other hand, they "have a broader focus and are in a different language, >>>>> meaning that they cater to a different audience." These differences, the >>>>> Court held, were significant enough to preclude the Court from "determining >>>>> the effect of [TV-Novosti's] videos on the market for [Business Casual's] >>>>> videos at this time." >>>>> >>>>> The Court's recognition of the weight of the fourth factor in >>>>> determining fair use means that there may still be hope for TV-Novosti—time >>>>> (and fact discovery) will tell. For now, the takeaway may very well be >>>>> that parties seeking to raise a fair use defense should take care to >>>>> emphasize any characteristics of their use that distinguish not just their >>>>> work, but its target audience, including the scope of the work and the >>>>> language (if any) which communicates it. >>>>> >>>>> *-----(PAGE BREAK)-----* >>>>> >>>>> xNY.io - Bank.org respectfully reserves all Interjurisdictional >>>>> rights. >>>>> >>>>> Thank you, >>>>> >>>>> Gunnar Larson >>>>> -- >>>>> Gunnar Donald Arthur Peter Larson >>>>> >>>>> *xNY.io - Bank.org* >>>>> 917-580-8053 >>>>> NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10001 >>>>> >>>>> On Fri, Mar 28, 2025, 2:22 AM Gunnar Larson <g@xny.io> wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> Art Director/Designer: Robert W.
