THE DEATH OF PRINT JOURNALISM: GOLD MEDAL EDITION

Katy Perry's "Rise," which serves as NBC's Olympics theme, has taken off in sales as the Games dominate the airwaves and her lavish video earns massive views. Still, as Perry's single continues to "Rise," this HITS cover appearance might make her wish she'd stayed in bed.

Sony/ATV chieftain Marty Bandier is once again acting as spokesman for the entire publishing business, as he decries the recent Department of Justice decision not to alter the Consent Decrees governing the PROs or the scandalous 100% licensing provision. The status quo, Bandier and other publishers say, makes an already challenging landscape for songwriters even tougher. But those challenges pale compared to enduring this HITS Contents page shout-out.
