The heirs of a woman who wrote a poem about a “soft kitty” in the 1930s are taking a swipe at CBS and Warner Bros. The daughters of the late Edith Newlin claim The Big Bang Theory has been using Newlin’s lyrics for its “Soft Kitty” song without permission. In addition to serving as a lullabye for Sheldon, Soft Kitty inspired a line of products including t-shirts, a watch and sleepwear, for sale on CBS.com. According to the suit, the show’s producers received authorization to use the lyrics from Willis Music Co., which had published the lyrics in a book but had not received the okay from the heirs to share them with the show.

ADVERTISING & BRANDS

The Denver Broncos aren’t the only ones standing by their man. As Peyton Manning deals with an allegation (recanted) in Al Jazeera America documentary The Dark Side that his wife received shipments of human growth hormone, Papa John’s said of its spokesman, “During the course of our relationship, Peyton has represented himself, the game of football and Papa John’s with the utmost honor and integrity. Furthermore he has been a trusted friend. It is a shame for all his hard work, to have one of the greatest comebacks against all odds, that he has to deal with these allegations.”

A new study, “Going Native: Effects of Disclosure Position and Language on the Recognition and Evaluation of Online Native Advertising,” indicates many consumers aren’t aware when they are seeing native advertising. In one experiment from researchers at Grady College, under 8% of subjects were able to identify online content as a paid marketing message. 

At Refinery29, age has “kind of disappeared,” says Chief Content Officer Amy Emmerich. Find out how the red-hot female-oriented media company stays connected to its audience, in the latest Cynsiders.

No Showtime subscription needed – the eps can be accessed for free across multiple devices and on television providers’ free On Demand channels, websites and apps.

New World Hacking, which claims to target ISIS-affiliated websites, took responsibility for a December 31 cyber attack on the BBC’s web sites. The group described the incident as a “test of its capabilities.” While the BBC first tweeted the outage was due to a “technical issue,” BBC.com later reported, “It is now believed that a web attack technique known as a ‘distributed denial of service’ was causing the patchy response.” In a DDOS attack, a site is deluged with so much traffic that service is disrupted.
