    How to initiate action- copyright infringment? Coffee table book with my pictures

    I'm trying to find out how many copies were in the publishing run... but maybe they keep it at 5K or under just because of such liabilities - usually these things are printed ONCE (this was also part of a larger series - i.e. 'volume 5' etc) and then that's it. Keeps printing costs down that way.

    How to initiate action- copyright infringment? Coffee table book with my pictures

    thanks for that initial response. Well there's no cease and desist about it. The quarter million or whatever copies that were already printed - were printed five or six years ago. I think damages for copyright violation and mishandling original works would be in order...(?)

    How to initiate action- copyright infringment? Coffee table book with my pictures

    I will try this again - but it's irksome that new threads don't seem to get posted here.. especially after spending so much time on them! I am a commercial photographer (more in the past than now) but have just come across a coffee table book with my images published in them. The works were...

    Accident involving small claims suit, uninsured motorist

    it's right on the front.. and I didnt' change lanes too close at all - there was a TON of space - she came out of nowhere... I'm guessing she was using the far right feeder lane for high speed passing and/or texting on her phone at the same time (?) but I can only guess... The trial is today -...

    Accident involving small claims suit, uninsured motorist

    thanks... that helps... though I'm not writing off losing the license due to non-insurance. I'll definitely try to avoid volunteering info though... perhaps it doesn't hurt that she's already committed perjury on the small claims subpoena by claiming I hit her... she'll have photos of the FRONT...

    Accident involving small claims suit, uninsured motorist

    thanks for your thoughts... forgive me if i'm mistaken please... but that's not WHY the fifth amendment exists - to prevent us from screwing ourselves in this way..? I mean if it applies with a traffic stop and with something as basic as reading miranda rights... why would it not apply in other...

    Accident involving small claims suit, uninsured motorist

    Thanks for the responses people. I appreciate the perspective. The weird thing is - there was ZERO damage to the rear of my car... since I have a big steel 4x4 bumper on the back. Maybe a scratch - but you really can't tell. So that just makes it weird in court I should think. I'm not sure what...

    Accident involving small claims suit, uninsured motorist

    Thanks for your responses thus far. I didn't renew the insurance directly after that because I was so freaked out I just stopped driving for a few weeks. But it's renewed now. I was just hoping there was a way that I could prevent the issue from coming up in court at all... and that since...

    Accident involving small claims suit, uninsured motorist

    State: California While driving on the freeway and changing lanes legally a vehicle slammed into me from behind, who apparently did not see the now occupied section of road. We both pulled over and exchanged information and at that time decided to 'settle' to avoid getting our insurance rates...

    compensation: 1099 vs. 'Under the Table'

    Hi. I have the following problem. I have a small picture framing shop in glendale, california and about this time last year decided to take on some help. After many interviews, I decided on what I thought would be the most promising and motivated person. Being a new business, I wasn't really...
