On June 25th 2025, in collaboration with Open Folk, we presented our first ever live interview event in Los Angeles. As Open Folk put it: "In These Lines is a live event where three artists each bring one song — not just to perform, but to explore. They sit down with Sofia Loporcaro, host of Before The Chorus, to talk about where the song came from, what it meant to write it, and what it still holds. Then they play it. Just the song, and the truth behind it."

Before a song is released, a record is produced, or a chorus is written, the musicians that write them think. A lot. They live. A lot. And they feel. A LOT. Hosted by award-winning interviewer Sofia Loporcaro, Before the Chorus explores the genuine human experiences behind the music. Sofia’s deep knowledge of music and personal journey with mental health help her connect with artists on a meaningful level. This is a space where fans connect with artists, and listeners from all walks of life feel seen through the stories that shape the music we love. About the host: Sofia Loporcaro is an award-winning interviewer and radio host who’s spent over 8 years helping musicians share their stories. She’s hosted shows for Amazing Radio, and Transmission Roundhouse. Now on Before the Chorus, she’s had the chance to host guests like Glass Animals, Feist, Madison Cunningham, Mick Jenkins, & Ru Paul's Drag Race winner Shea Couleé. Learn more about your ad choices.

Due process is, according to Black’s Law Dictionary , “a course of legal proceedings … which have been established … for the enforcement and protection of private rights.” Anyone facing an IRS federal tax lien or levy has already experienced the preliminary due process following the IRS determination that more taxes are owed. Due process involves a series of written or telephone notifications, and it’s all laid out in the tax code and the IRS letters the taxpayer receives in the mail that should definitely not be ignored. Before the IRS wrecking ball goes into motion, the taxpayer has certain procedural rights. In this presentation, I will discuss them in detail.…

State task forces have been formed to crack down on businesses that do not pay unemployment insurance and workers’ compensation premiums or withhold taxes for workers whom the state believes are employees and not independent contractors.…

قوائم

احب27:51
In this podcast, I discuss the pre-sentence investigation report. Below is a quick and dirty outline: After conviction and prior to sentencing, a probation officer will interview the def. and prepare a PSR. In the PSR, the probation officer will: Calculate the defendant’s offense level and criminal history category, State the resulting sentencing range and kinds of sentences available, Identify any factors relevant to the kind of sentence (e.g., probation, imprisonment), Recommend a sentence w/in the applicable sentencing range, and Identify any basis for departing from the applicable sentencing range The PSR includes: The defendant’s prior criminal record, The defendant’s financial condition, and Information sufficient to calculate restitution The defendant is entitled to be represented by an attorney at the interview w/ the probation officer and I strongly recommend it. Why is the pre-sentence investigation report important? For the following two reasons: Judges give deference to the recommendations of the probation officer. Thus, the PSR is instrumental in the sentencing judge’s determination. Both the defense and the gov’t may make formal objections to the PSR but the judge resolves all such disputes under the preponderance of the evidence standard - a low standard indeed. Apart from the judge and sentencing, the PSR follows def. throughout his time in prison and can affect various decisions as to def. after the judge imposes sentence (i.e., the defendant’s life in prison and any period of probation or supervised release). Procedurally, once the PSR is prepared, the probation officer will provide a copy to the def., the defendant’s attorney, and the prosecutor. The defense and the gov’t have the opportunity to make objections to the PSR at the sentencing hearing, which consists of oral arguments before the judge. The rules of evidence do n/ apply to the admission of testimony or other evidence at the sentencing hearing. There are three times when defense counsel can have a big impact on the sentence that the judge imposes: Situation 1: Defense counsel bargains w/ the prosecutor. Situation 2: Defense counsel can work w/ the probation officer independently of the prosecutor – i.e., w/o forming an agreement w/ the prosecutor as in situation one. The goal is to try and get the probation officer to include favorable facts in the PSR. Situation 3: If the PSR contains something that you don’t like, you can make objections at the sentencing hearing that the PSR is wrong or should be modified by the judge and ask the judge to redact it from the pre-sentence investigation report.…

Below is more information about the program: Course Description In one of the climactic scenes from 1954’s On The Waterfront, Crime Commission prosecutors had to make their corruption case against union boss Johnny Friendly (a/k/a Michael Skelly) by convincing a reticent yet pure-hearted Terry Malloy to come forward and tell what he knew about corruption in the International Longshoremen’s Association, beginning with the murder of Joey Doyle, because an underling insisted that “we were robbed last night and can’t find no books.” If that same case came up in 21st Century tax court, Eva Marie Saint and Karl Malden could’ve stayed at home rather than serving as Marlon Brando’s cheering section, because government prosecutors could reconstruct the ILA’s income, based on the records retention requirements in Section 6500 et seq. In other words, the conventional wisdom that only divine beings can create something out of nothing does not apply in income tax evasion cases. Is it enough for the government to pull a metaphorical rabbit out of a metaphorical hat, or are there some additional requirements?

The law surrounding federal criminal sentencing is in a stage of upheaval. The Booker case fundamentally altered the legal landscape. This is an unsettled area.

But with a recent statistic showing that approximately one in every three new businesses fail within the first two years, it can no longer be ignored. As harsh as this might sound, businesses don’t fail by themselves. Instead, businesses usually fail on account of the owner. The sad part about it is that in most cases, the business owner is oblivious to the fact that the ship is sinking until it is too late. However, with the availability of professional counsel and advice, inexperience no longer has to be "the Mean One (i.e. the Grinch)." It need not be an obstacle to success.

A new U.S. District court case has zeroed in on the definition of “willful” for purposes of applying the more serious penalties for failure to file tan FBAR. In U.S. v. Garrity, 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 56888 (D. Conn. 2018), the United States District Court of Connecticut dealt taxpayers with undisclosed foreign accounts a hard blow. In advancing to the next stage of trial, the court said that the IRS could prove the elements of its FBAR penalty claim by a mere preponderance of the evidence. What's more, the IRS can carry its burden to prove willfulness by showing reckless conduct by the taxpayer, as opposed to the more stringent "intentional violation" standard required in the criminal context. In this podcast, I discuss the Garrity case and what it means for taxpayers with unreported foreign accounts. I also provide some background about the FBAR requirement and get into a robust discussion about the term, "willfulness" and willful blindness. Finally, I provide examples of situation…

Jersey Boys is by far my favorite Broadway musical. For those who are unfamiliar with Jersey Boys, you must be living under a rock! Jersey Boys was a 2005 jukebox musical with music by Bob Gaudio, and book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. It is presented in a documentary-style format that dramatizes the formation, success and eventual break-up of the 1960s rock 'n' roll group The Four Seasons. The musical is structured as four "seasons", each narrated by a different member of the band who gives his own perspective on its history and music. Songs include "Big Girls Don't Cry", "Sherry", "December 1963 (Oh, What A Night)", "My Eyes Adored You", "Stay", "Can't Take My Eyes Off You", "Working My Way Back to You" and "Rag Doll", among others. The title refers to the fact that the members of The Four Seasons are from New Jersey and are men. The musical ran on Broadway from 2005 to 2017, and since its debut has seen two North American national tours and productions in London's Wes…

In Cold Blood is a non-fiction novel by author Truman Capote, published in 1966. It chronicles the 1959 murders of four members of the Herbert Clutter family in the small farming community of Holcomb, Kansas. Herb Clutter was a wealthy farmer in western Kansas. He employed as many as 18 workers, who admired and respected him for his fair treatment and good wages. Two elder daughters, Eveanna and Beverly, had moved out and started their adult lives; Nancy, 16, and Kenyon, 15, were in high school. Two ex-convicts recently paroled from the Kansas State Penitentiary, Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Edward Smith, committed the robbery and murders. It happened in the early morning hours of November 15, 1959. The plan was hatched by Hickock who learned about Mr. Clutter from Floyd Wells, a former cellmate (yes, Hickock had a “jacket”). Wells had worked for Herb Clutter and told Hickock that Clutter kept large amounts of cash in a safe at his home. Hickock hatched the idea to steal the saf…

In this episode (the finale), I discuss how to reduce the risk of your content being stolen so that you position yourself in the safest place possible. First, learn how to use the DMCA offensively by understanding the takedown notice process. We’ve already discussed the elements. Remember: The best defense is a good offense. For sample "takedown notices," you can do a Google search for “takedown notice." Second, protect yourself from a copyright infringement claim. Don't make yourself a target. As obvious as this might sound, don’t use copyrighted content on your website. The temptation to use copyrighted images that are freely available online can be overwhelming, but resisting the urge at all costs. By far, the most surprising development in the DMCA space is that it applies to comments posted on a website. In other words, if you allow users to post comments on your website, you should adhere to a strict DMCA compliance process to ensure immunity from claims in the event that a…

In this episode, I discuss the DMCA procedures, from takedown notice to counter notice to the time-line required to respond to a counter notice by filing a copyright infringement case in federal court. If you find the DMCA takedown procedures to be daunting, do not fret. Most attorneys do not resort to them until they have sent a cease and desist letter to the infringing party. Paraphrasing, the letter usually sounds something like this, “I’m John Doe and I represent Mike Smith, the copyright owner of ABC Course. It has come to our attention that you are selling Mr. Smith’s course in an unauthorized manner.” You then demand that the infringer remove the content immediately and cease using it. This, combined with the potential damages that the infringer faces if found liable in court, is usually enough to do the trick.…

In this episode, I discuss copyright infringement, specifically the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which applies to the internet. We’ll talk about what it is, how to use it to your benefit if someone has stolen your content, and how to protect your website if you allows users to post comments on it. Let’s begin with a bread and butter definition of copyright infringement. Copyright infringement is the use of works protected by copyright law without permission, infringing certain exclusive rights granted to the copyright holder, such as the right to reproduce, distribute, display or perform the protected work, or to make derivative works. As far as terminology goes, “infringing” is used instead of “stealing” or “pirating” in the statute. The idea behind copyright infringement is simple: If you create some work, you hold the rights publish and distribute that work. The copyright holder is typically the work's creator, or a publisher or other business to whom copyright has been assi…

In part 2 of "The ABC's of Internet Law," I discuss the following topics: Collecting Emails Outreach Emails Trademarks The Future of Internet Regulation International Enforcement The key takeaways are as follows: Compel your users to accept your terms of service using a checkbox and keep server logs. When you update terms and conditions, force your users to accept them before they can continue using your site. Use disclaimers on your pages when giving advice such as health or financial advice that can affect people’s lives. Clearly display an earnings disclosure on your site if you are earning affiliate income. Linking to the original source of an image does not cloak you in a veil of immunity when it comes to copyright liability. Don’t steal photos - take your own or use stock photos. Use a third party email platform such as Constant Contact or MailChimp as they force you to comply with SPAM laws. Register your brand as a trademark or risk losing it to someone else.…
