PARAMOUNT+ IN CANADA ANNOUNCES THE PINK PILL, AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE FIGHT FOR A FEMALE VIAGRA
BANFF, AB and TORONTO, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- Paramount+ in Canada today announced it will be the exclusive Canadian home of THE PINK PILL, the untold story of the fight for a female Viagra and equal access to sexual medicine. Billed by producers as "a wildly entertaining romp into the world of sex and science," the original documentary feature is set to debut on Paramount+ in Canada in fall 2025. Created by Abby Greensfelder's Everywoman Studios, THE PINK PILL explores the taboo subject of women's sexual health through the lens of the trailblazers — and opponents — who have fought relentlessly against the male-focused medical establishment to make female pleasure a priority. The film reveals the many ways women have been sidelined when it comes to their enjoyment of sex, including the story of a libido-boosting solution, or a 'little pink pill', for women facing endless roadblocks in a market saturated with FDA-approved drugs for men's sexual pleasure — but almost nothing for women. THE PINK PILL is directed by award-winning Montreal-based filmmaker Aisling Chin-Yee (No Ordinary Man, The Rest of Us, Plan B) who brings her astute creative vision to this first project from Docs for Change, a collaboration between Catalyst, the Toronto-based studio for woman-identifying creators, and Knix Fund, a philanthropic arm of the game-changing intimates brand Knix. Launched at the 2023 Banff World Media Festival, the initiative supports the development and production of women-centric feature documentaries that embody the principles at the core of both the Knix and Catalyst brands: to create more opportunities for women by amplifying their voices and inspiring change. Vanessa Case, VP, Content, Paramount+ and Pluto TV in Canada, said: " THE PINK PILL doesn't just tell a story — it challenges perspectives, sparks conversation, and puts a spotlight on the challenges women face within the healthcare sector. We are proud to be the home of the first project from Docs for Change and to bring this bold film to screens across Canada, introducing viewers to a powerful story that sheds light on the deep-rooted inequities in women's health." Julie Bristow, Founder of Catalyst, said: "We launched the Docs for Change initiative two years ago at Banff and are excited to bring this inaugural film to Canadian audiences on Paramount+ Canada. It shows what can be accomplished when you bring together a group of women dedicated to financing and producing commercially-driven stories that otherwise might not get told." Abby Greensfelder, Founder and CEO of Everywoman Studios, said: "With THE PINK PILL, we set out to pull back the curtain on a story that's as outrageous as it is overdue — a story about power, stigma, and the systemic silence around women's sexual health. We're proud to partner with Catalyst and Knix through Docs for Change to bring this story to light, and thrilled to work with Paramount+ Canada to make sure it's seen, heard, and talked about." Joanna Griffiths, Founder and President of Knix, said: "At Knix, we've always believed that women's health stories deserve to be heard — loudly, unapologetically, and without shame. THE PINK PILL is a bold, necessary step toward dismantling the stigma around female sexual health and demanding better from a system that has overlooked women for far too long. We're incredibly proud to support this project through the Knix Fund and help bring these conversations to the forefront." THE PINK PILL is produced by Catalyst and Everywoman Studios, with Sphere Media providing production services and Sphere Abacus handling global distribution. Executive producers are Julie Bristow, Abby Greensfelder, Vibika Bianchi, Joanna Griffiths and Aisling Chin-Yee.

Getty Images and Stability AI face off in British copyright trial that will test AI industry
LONDON (AP) — Getty Images is facing off against artificial intelligence company Stability AI in a London courtroom for the first major copyright trial of the generative AI industry. Opening arguments before a judge at the British High Court began on Monday. The trial could last for three weeks. Stability, based in London, owns a widely used AI image-making tool that sparked enthusiasm for the instant creation of AI artwork and photorealistic images upon its release in August 2022. OpenAI introduced its surprise hit chatbot ChatGPT three months later. Seattle-based Getty has argued that the development of the AI image maker, called Stable Diffusion, involved 'brazen infringement' of Getty's photography collection 'on a staggering scale.' Tech companies have long argued that 'fair use' or 'fair dealing' legal doctrines in the United States and United Kingdom allow them to train their AI systems on large troves of writings or images. Getty was among the first to challenge those practices when it filed copyright infringement lawsuits in the United States and the United Kingdom in early 2023. 'What Stability did was inappropriate,' Getty CEO Craig Peters told The Associated Press in 2023. He said creators of intellectual property should be asked for permission before their works are fed into AI systems rather than having to participate in an 'opt-out regime.' Getty's legal team told the court Monday that its position is that the case isn't a battle between the creative and technology industries and that the two can still work together in 'synergistic harmony' because licensing creative works is critical to AI's success. 'The problem is when AI companies such as Stability AI want to use those works without payment,' Getty's trial lawyer, Lindsay Lane, said. She said the case was about 'straightforward enforcement of intellectual property rights,' including copyright, trademark and database rights. Getty Images 'recognizes that the AI industry is a force for good but that doesn't justify those developing AI models to ride roughshod over intellectual property rights,' Lane said. Stability AI had a 'voracious appetite' for images to train its AI model, but the company was 'completely indifferent to the nature of those works,' Lane said. Stability didn't care if images were protected by copyright, had watermarks, were not safe for work or were pornographic and just wanted to get its model to the market as soon as possible, Lane said. 'This trial is the day of reckoning for that approach,' she said. Stability has argued that the case doesn't belong in the United Kingdom because the training of the AI model technically happened elsewhere, on computers run by U.S. tech giant Amazon. Similar cases in the U.S. have not yet gone to trial. In the years after introducing its open-source technology, Stability struggled to capitalize on the popularity of the tool, battling lawsuits, misuse and other business problems. Stable Diffusion's roots trace to Germany, where computer scientists at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich worked with the New York-based tech company Runway to develop the original algorithms. The university researchers credited Stability AI for providing the servers that trained the models, which require large amounts of computing power. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Stability later blamed Runway for releasing an early version of Stable Diffusion that was used to produce abusive sexual images, but also said it would have exclusive control of more recent versions of the AI model. Stability last year announced what it described as a 'significant' infusion of money from new investors including Facebook's former president Sean Parker, who is now chair of Stability's board. Parker also has experience in copyright disputes as the co-founder of online music company Napster, which temporarily shuttered in the early 2000s after the record industry and popular rock band Metallica sued over copyright violations. The new investments came after Stability's founding CEO Emad Mostaque quit and several top researchers left to form a new German startup, Black Forest Labs, which makes a competing AI image generator. —— O'Brien contributed to this report from Providence, Rhode Island.

CoinW Research: Navigating Value and Risk in the Blockchain Era
HONG KONG, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ -- In the fast-evolving cryptocurrency landscape, identifying high-quality assets while steering clear of hype-driven investments is a critical challenge for both investors and exchanges. As a key player in the industry, CoinW Research stands at the forefront of this task, committed to independence, integrity, and analytical rigor. With a data-driven and rational approach, it filters market noise, uncovers long-term value, and strengthens risk management frameworks. Serving as the core team for asset review and sector research, CoinW Research merges data science with industry expertise to offer insightful evaluations. Its work not only supports the platform's sustainable development but also promotes the health of the broader blockchain ecosystem. Anchoring Value In a Shifting Market The early days of blockchain revolved around foundational innovations like Bitcoin and Ethereum—decentralized money and programmable smart contracts. Since its establishment in 2020, CoinW Research has witnessed the market's transformation from speculative "aircoin" phases to a new era emphasizing fundamental value. Prior to the DeFi wave, the market was heavily influenced by ICOs, many of which prioritized hype over substance. This speculative bubble eventually gave way to the rise of DeFi—introducing practical financial utilities with transparency, composability, and real returns. CoinW Research emerged early as a value-oriented evaluator, developing its proprietary SCORE model—a comprehensive asset evaluation system that blends quantitative metrics with in-depth sectoral research. The model has become a benchmark for identifying quality assets. Its methodology evaluates factors like token distribution, vesting policies, and governance models. For example, the Institute's recommendation of MYRO, a Solana-based meme coin, was based on its equitable tokenomics and active community. Its successful platform launch validated the Institute's rigorous review process. The prevailing industry consensus is clear: sustainable blockchain growth hinges on technological innovation, not speculation. CoinW Research is committed to identifying enduring value and serving as a rational voice in a volatile market. The SCORE Model: A Holistic Approach to Asset Evaluation Built on principles of fairness, transparency, and deep market insight, the SCORE model assesses crypto assets across five key dimensions: Sector & Hype: Tracks market trends while filtering irrational speculation. Code & Security: Enforces strict security through smart contract audits and code transparency. Operations & Outreach: Evaluates project fundamentals such as economic models, marketing strategies, user growth, and community engagement to determine sustainability and market vitality. Resources & Teams: Assesses the experience and network strength of the project team as dual indicators of reliability. Evaluation & Data: Leverages on-chain analytics to reveal a project's real value and activity. More than just a rating framework, SCORE embodies CoinW Research's philosophy: identify real innovation, manage risk rigorously, and simplify decision-making for users and exchanges alike. From Strategy to Impact: Practical Success Stories SCORE is not theoretical—it delivers measurable outcomes. By leveraging this model, CoinW Research identifies promising opportunities ahead of the curve and shields users from high-risk or non-compliant projects. In 2020, CoinW Research analyzed early capital flows during the DeFi boom and listed top projects like YFI and YFII before they went mainstream—allowing users to ride the liquidity mining trend early. This proactive approach showcases the model's predictive power and the Institute's strategic foresight. Such results demonstrate CoinW Research's value not just as an analytical team but as a market authority capable of guiding both users and platforms through complex industry cycles. Staying Ahead: Insight, Independence, and Execution Over years of experience, CoinW Research has adhered to four core principles: user-first thinking, independent judgment, industry foresight, and strategic execution. It acts as both a rigorous filter for listings and a benchmark in the Web3 space. When Sushiswap launched its now-famous "liquidity attack" on Uniswap in 2020, the Institute provided timely on-chain analysis, enabling CoinW to become one of the first exchanges to list SUSHI—reinforcing its leadership in data-informed decision-making. As DeFi evolved, CoinW Research deepened its technical research to help users identify sustainable, long-term opportunities. Navigating Hype: Caution During the BRC-20 Frenzy The BRC-20 boom in 2023 marked another speculative phase in the crypto market, as the Ordinals protocol introduced a novel way to inscribe data onto individual satoshis—creating a wave of inscription-based tokens on the Bitcoin network. As hype escalated and a flood of projects emerged, CoinW Research Institute maintained its disciplined approach. Upholding rigorous standards, the Institute approved only two projects—Ordi and SATS—after comprehensive security audits. This caution proved effective: SATS's market cap skyrocketed from $10 million to over $2 billion, exemplifying the power of quality-over-quantity asset selection. By filtering out short-term noise and focusing on fundamentals, CoinW Research helps users navigate volatile markets—mitigating the 99% of risks to uncover the 1% of truly valuable opportunities. Decoding Meme Trends In 2024, CoinW identified early momentum within the Solana ecosystem, strategically backing meme coins like BOME and SLERF—which ultimately delivered outsized returns. While the broader market dismissed as a "junk coin factory," CoinW Research recognized the underlying innovation in its auto-launch and burn mechanisms. Projects like MOODENG, which leveraged this infrastructure, gained early support from the Institute. This contrarian insight reflects CoinW Research's willingness to challenge popular narratives and uncover value in unconventional places. The Rise of Decentralized AI and Infrastructure Partnerships In parallel, CoinW Research prioritized the rapidly emerging AI sector, listing projects like ARC and Virtual, which leverage AI to boost blockchain performance. CoinW Research anticipates that future breakthroughs—akin to Uniswap's impact—may arise from decentralized AI protocols. Supporting public infrastructure also remains a priority. The Institute played a key role in launching Shardeum globally and formed strategic alliances with Solana to revitalize its ecosystem, reinforcing its commitment to long-term value creation. Its team—bringing together Web3 innovation and traditional finance experience—continues to transform conviction into disciplined research and strategic action. Finding Certainty Amid Market Uncertainty Over the past five years, CoinW Research Institute has consistently followed the principles of user focus, independence, industry insight, and future planning. It neither blindly chases trends nor remains complacent. Its success is rooted in a methodology that deeply integrates industry knowledge, data science, and risk management. In a noisy and chaotic market, truth lies in on-chain data and long-term trends. CoinW Research continues to illuminate the path to value discovery in cryptocurrency with clear-headed rationality.
