This may be the case although I don't know exactly which laws you have been charged with violating. Here's Colorado law: 12-47-901. Unlawful acts - exceptions. (1) Except as provided in section 18-13-122, C.R.S., it is unlawful for any person: (a) To sell, serve, give away, dispose of...

What advice do you want? If you admitted drinking the beer then you were in possession of the beer by your own admittance. That's better than any other evidence to support the claim since you don't dispute that fact at all. Other than that, the questions are probably trick questions -- if you...

To begin, sending a false report to the BBB is defamatory and is not legal. I'm not sure what you mean by a method to extort money. What does he do, request money in exchange for not filing false reports? (Illegal) How do you find the e-mail you are talking about harrassing?

There are cases dealing with use of someone else's trademark for purposes such as what you describe. You may want to report this use to Google to suspend their account, send a legal notice to their host regarding the trademark infringement and you may also think about seizing the domain if it is...

hobartimus provides what is probably the best solution. No host wants to be involved in hosting such activity and I'll bet that it is in violation of their terms of service. You may want to look at it before you send your letter and point out the violations to the host. Vbulletin will not be...

You will not get an award of the host's domain name or any of the host's property for that matter. A suit for libel results in the potential award of money damages.

Good question. It is arguable that the posters own their own content. Another view is that the host may own the posts. The materials in the posts may pass the tests in the Fair Use Doctrine but I can't comment without seeing the material (and I'm not sure of applicability here.) I don't think...

It is possible that linking to illegal software could subject you to a charge of secondary copyright infringement. Take a look at what is also happening to all the bittorrent link sites.

Written materials are known as "libel" (spoken is slander.) You may be able to sue them but unless the statements are very damaging, it may be more costly to go to court than the award is worth. How many people may have viewed this post? If we are talking about tens of thousands, many of whom...

Hilarious that it is absurd. Absolutely a hoax. The items aren't meant for viewing but just to take up bandwidth... that's a good one.

Your address can be public information. It is very difficult to have any recourse against the poster unless you can prove some type of damages or that the poster did not have rights to publish the information, i.e. photos that were known to have been wrongfully taken from you, etc. What other...

What do you want to accomplish? Why not report this to the company owning the copyrighted material? I'm sure they wil be thrilled too.

In the US they are called "classes" and it can be found here: http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/tmfaq.htm#Application018

This should be stated online at the uspto.gov site. It may be tiff and take a look here: http://www.uspto.gov/ebc/efs/instructions/filingsteps.htm

Why would you want to bother with this kind of trouble? I'm not sure what could happen. Chances are your host may make you take them down. From a liability standpoint I don't know, it seems Bittorrent tracker sites might be a relatively clear case of secondary copyright infringement. Of note...

You should worry about these things if you are serious about your business beyond just the "try out" stage. The name is simple enough -- first do a search in your state corporations database since you will likely want to incorporate with that trade name. You may want to further check in the...

Wow... you really should speak to an attorney. There are so many issues you'll want to think about. What rights are granted by the author? Is it just for publication in the book? Does it include online rights? Does it include further publications or inclusions in other books? Can the content be...

I'm sure you may have found one but you could always contact the people here. Unfortunately I can't see what you put up. Do note that while the company could be right, it is VERY frequent that companies will send out notices claiming all sorts of violations and more and they are nothing more...

That's a pretty good idea but would that be a part of the law school section? It's hard for me to remember back that far, lol.

What state are you in? From what I can recall, a settlement is usually not considered martial property to be distributed at least to the extent the settlement compensates the injured for lost wages post-dissolution. I think that settlement issues will also be determined upon just how savvy your...
