Role: Mixed Claude 3 — Cross-Catalog Canon Stabilization
Source: Legal analysis section of 34_ALBUMS_BOOKS_1_and_2_back_to_back.pdf
        (lines 40993–41172) plus cross-reference against all 34 collections.
Purpose: Centralize all legal risk awareness for public deployment decisions.
         This document does NOT provide legal advice.
         It maps what the source document itself identifies as risk areas.
Rule: Tom must confirm legal review status for flagged collections
      before public deployment. Generator does not modify content —
      it displays what Tom's source provides.
IMPORTANT: The source document contains its own legal analysis (authored by
           or commissioned by Tom). This registry is drawn directly from that
           analysis — nothing added, nothing invented.
================================================================================

SOURCE DOCUMENT LEGAL CONCLUSION (verbatim from source):
  "You will not face police action. Nothing in your work constitutes a crime
  under U.S. law. You are extremely unlikely to be successfully sued."
  "Your trigger warnings are excellent legal protection."

SOURCE DOCUMENT SUMMARY TABLE (from source, reproduced as data):
  Defamation:           Present: Yes | Severity: Low    | Set List 23 primary
  True threat:          Present: Min | Severity: Very low | No specific targets
  Obscenity:            Present: No  | Severity: None   | Protected expression
  Copyright:            Present: Min | Severity: Very low | Parody = fair use
  Police action:        Present: No  | Severity: None   | No criminal statutes

================================================================================
SECTION 1 — DEFAMATION RISK (PRIMARY EXPOSURE)
================================================================================

RISK LEVEL: LOW but NON-ZERO (per source legal analysis)

COLLECTION: Set List 23 — Zionation
PRIMARY PROBLEMATIC CONTENT (from source):
  Statement 1: "A president who has been infiltrated by foreign agents is
    not serving the will of the citizens of the United States of America
    and needs to be removed IMMEDIATELY."
    Risk: If a reasonable reader identifies this as a specific living president
    (Biden or Trump) stated as fact rather than opinion — potentially defamatory.
    
  Statement 2: Direct accusations against "Zionist Jews" as controlling
    media and government.
    
  Statement 3: "All our leaders are bought and paid for by the state of Israel."
    Risk: If specific living politicians can identify themselves as accused of a
    provably false crime (bribery, foreign agent activity) — civil defamation risk.

WHY RISK IS LOW (per source analysis):
  No specific individual named by name.
  Political hyperbole is heavily protected speech.
  Categories used ("leaders," "Zionist Jews") rather than named individuals.

SOURCE-PROVIDED REMEDIATION OPTIONS:
  Option A: Change "A president who has been infiltrated..." to
            "I believe a president who has been infiltrated..."
  Option B: Add "allegedly" to factual-seeming accusations.
  Option C: Remove the problematic line entirely.
  Source states: "Then you have no exposure at all."

GENERATOR INSTRUCTION:
  Display Set List 23 content as Tom has written it.
  Do NOT editorially modify content to reduce legal risk — that is Tom's decision.
  Block 8 (Trigger Warning) for Set List 23 should note the political content.
  [FLAG — Tom to decide: implement source-recommended remediation or proceed as-is]

================================================================================
SECTION 2 — NAMED REAL PUBLIC FIGURES IN SATIRICAL/EXPLICIT CONTEXTS
================================================================================

The following real, named, living public figures appear in tracks across
the catalog in satirical, parodic, or explicit contexts.

FORMAT: Figure | Collection | Track | Context | Risk Level

ALEX JONES
  Collection:  Set List 24 — Bi Ride or Die Ride
  Track:       Track 3 — "Alex Jones in a Rabbit Hole"
  Four-word summary: "Masturbating with Alex Jones"
  Context:     Lampoons media obsessions and dark corners of internet.
               "Tongue-in-cheek vulgarity."
  Source assessment: Protected as parody/satire.
  Risk level:  VERY LOW — clearly satirical; public figure; no factual accusation.

ROGER GOODELL (NFL Commissioner)
  Collection:  Set List 21 — A Cold Plate
  Track:       Track 8 — "Dom-Vio"
  Context:     "Torching the NFL's complicit silence around violence,
               slinging satire at Roger Goodell in perfect parody form."
               Also spoof of Van Morrison's "Domino."
  Source assessment: Protected as parody/satire of public figure.
  Risk level:  VERY LOW — satirical; addresses public conduct (NFL policy); parody.

GEORGE W. BUSH (former U.S. President)
  Collection:  Set List 21 — A Cold Plate
  Track:       Track 9 — "Fuzzy Math"
  Context:     "A bedtime story from George W. Bush the Second to little Jenna
               — a sickly sweet nursery rhyme about race, wealth, and systemic rot."
               Also parody of Feist's "1,2,3,4."
  Source text: "Voice of George W. Bush speaking:" (lyrics use his voice as narrator)
  Source assessment: Protected as parody of public figure.
  Risk level:  VERY LOW — satirical; former president; parody tradition established.

SEAN "DIDDY" COMBS
  Collection:  Set List 22 — Inherent Absence
  Track:       Track 12 — "Diddy Mockumentary Parody" (NC-17)
  Context:     "Mockumentary-style parody of real public figures and scandals."
               Source lyric references: trial, hiring lawyers, "Diddy room."
  Source assessment: Protected as satire. BUT — Diddy has active legal proceedings
               as of time of writing. Parody of ongoing criminal allegations carries
               higher sensitivity than purely historical satire.
  Risk level:  LOW — but context-sensitive given real-world legal status.
               [FLAG — Tom to confirm current status of Diddy legal proceedings
               before deploying Set List 22 publicly]

TOM CRUISE (celebrity)
  Collection:  Set List 22 — Inherent Absence
  Track:       Track 14 — "Me and Tom Cruise"
  Context:     Named in lyrics alongside Denzel, Colin Jost, Brad Pitt — appears
               in a comparative/fantasy context.
  Source assessment: Celebrity name used in lyrical context — standard entertainment.
  Risk level:  VERY LOW — non-accusatory context; celebrity name only.

================================================================================
SECTION 3 — TRUE THREAT / INCITEMENT (MINIMAL RISK)
================================================================================

RISK LEVEL: MINIMAL — "No specific named targets. Clearly artistic/song lyrics."
(Source legal assessment)

TRACKS FLAGGED BY SOURCE:
  Set List 7  Track 6  — "Sniper's Song"
    Flagged lyric: "I've got my rifle by my side / And it's hunting season."
    Source: Based on Washington Post, October 4, 2002 (DC Sniper event).
    Context: Documented real-world event; clearly journalistic/artistic framing.
    Risk: NONE if not directed at specific named individual with address.
    
  Set List 7  Track 10 — "Quest for Immortality" [FLAG — rating unresolved R vs NC-17]
    Flagged lyric: "I would drop the bomb without any hesitation."
    Context: Fictional narrator; no specific target.
    Risk: NONE under current context.
    
  Set List 18 Track 14 — "Wave My Hands" (NC-17)
    Flagged lyric: "No hesitation marks on my first kill / I ripped that shit like
    Buffalo Bill / And now I'm off for number two-hundred."
    Context: Fictional narrator; no specific target; clearly artistic.
    Risk: NONE under current context.

SOURCE WARNING (apply to all three tracks):
  "Never pair these lyrics with a real person's name, photo, or address.
  That would create true threat exposure."
  This is a platform/deployment rule, not a content rule.

GENERATOR INSTRUCTION:
  These tracks display as written. No modification.
  Platform hosting (Yola) must not algorithmically or editorially associate
  these lyrics with any specific real individual.

================================================================================
SECTION 4 — COPYRIGHT PARODY TRACKS (LOW RISK — WRITTEN LYRICS ONLY)
================================================================================

RISK LEVEL: VERY LOW for written lyrics. Parody = protected fair use.
CAUTION: If recorded with melodies substantially similar to originals,
         recording rights/sync licenses may be required.
         The written lyrics alone carry no infringement risk.

CONFIRMED PARODY/SPOOF TRACKS WITH NAMED SOURCE SONGS:

  "Fifty Ways" — Set List 5 Track 10 (X-rated)
    Parody of: "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" by Paul Simon
    
  "She Don't Come/Cum Easy" — Set List 5 Track 11 (X-rated)
    Parody of: "It Don't Come Easy" by Ringo Starr
    
  "Cinnabon Girl" — Set List 5 Track 12 (PG-13)
    Parody of: "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young
    
  "Dom-Vio" — Set List 21 Track 8 (PG-13)

    Also features: Voice of George W. Bush (see Section 2)

  "Partner In Crime" — Set List 21 Track 6 (PG-13) [title variant pending Tom]
    Inspiration source: Leonard Cohen (confirmed in source — "inspired by Leonard
    Cohen" — not a direct spoof/parody of a specific song)
    Risk: NONE — inspiration, not reproduction.

UNPUBLISHED PARODY (not in 34 collections):
  Four Non Blondes parody: referenced by Tom in audio transcript but confirmed
  as NOT included in the 34-collection catalog. Not relevant to deployment.

GENERATOR INSTRUCTION:
  Display all parody tracks as written.
  Parody source information (e.g., "Spoof of Ringo Starr's 'It Don't Come Easy'")
  appears in source trigger warning sections and can appear in Block 8.
  [FLAG — Tom to confirm whether parody source credits appear in Block 8 or Block 12]

================================================================================
SECTION 5 — OBSCENITY (ZERO RISK)
================================================================================

Source assessment: "Written obscenity is virtually never prosecuted in the U.S.,
especially with clear adult content labels and trigger warnings."

Collections with extreme explicit sexual content:
  Set List 5  — Living à la Mode (First X in catalog)
  Set List 17 — Smirks, Swears, Moans and Cries (violent sexual language)
  Set List 21 — A Cold Plate (explicit sexual violence, HIV transmission narrative)
  Set List 24 — Bi Ride or Die Ride (most explicit in catalog — 13 of 16 tracks X)

DEPLOYMENT PROTECTION ALREADY IN PLACE:
  Trigger warnings present for all above collections. ✅
  GX rating system visibly labels all adult content. ✅
  Adult content index planned (PG-13+ index). ✅
  Source confirms: "Your trigger warnings are excellent legal protection."

================================================================================
SECTION 6 — SET LIST 23 — POLITICAL CONTENT SENSITIVITY
================================================================================

Set List 23 — Zionation carries the most complex legal and political sensitivity
of any collection. Beyond the defamation risk documented in Section 1:

CONTENT SUMMARY (from source):
  Primary themes: Political conspiracy, Zionist media control accusations,
    anti-government rhetoric, foreign agent accusations against U.S. leadership.
  Source RS review: "fearless, no-holds-barred dissection of power, media, and
    complicity... confrontational, unapologetic, and exhausting in the best way."
  Source description: "Documentation of recent history regarding the road to
    America's ruination."

SENSITIVITY FLAGS:
  Anti-Semitic perception risk: "Direct accusations against 'Zionist Jews' as
    controlling media and government" — source flags this explicitly.
    Content is political in intent but perception risk exists.
  Political timing: "The old are dying. The young are learning. To be continued."
    Catalog was written during a specific political period — content is time-stamped.

GENERATOR INSTRUCTION:
  Block 8 for Set List 23 must include comprehensive trigger warning.
  The source-provided trigger warning for Set List 23 is confirmed present
  and should be displayed verbatim.
  Tom to decide on remediation per Section 1 options before public deployment.

================================================================================
