    Friend is having her nudes sent out maliciously; help?

    I'm going to read more of the details in this thread but this is probably an important first step - removing images shared without consent, often in the context of removing revenge porn from Google. This is directly from the Google Webmaster product support forum. Remove unwanted & explicit...

    Is there a law where there has to be a solid white line in a "right lane must turn right" lane?

    Can't recall offhand but will jog my brain later and browser history, lol. She was fairly new (handful of years at best) and she had a weak background.

    Is there a law where there has to be a solid white line in a "right lane must turn right" lane?

    True. On the few occasions I have been in traffic court I sensed some dynamic of familiar regulars who make their living from battling in the bunkers that is traffic court. Good work. :) The officer was pretty nice and he wasn't objecting. My guess is he was directed to give out tickets on a...

    is it legal to buy email lists?

    As an FYI, I have had my email address for 27 years. Back in the 90s data harvesting wasn't as fierce as it is today. I can't begin to tell you how many legal organizations claim I opted into their lists and it incenses me any time someone insists I must have opted in because I know I didn't. I...

    is it legal to buy email lists?

    This is no different than purchasing something where a vendor insists "we do everything by the book and to the letter of the law." Problems arise when you find out that they may not be telling you the whole truth. At that point your legal remedies are only as good as your indemnification clause...

    Is there a law where there has to be a solid white line in a "right lane must turn right" lane?

    Also keep in mind also where you are. I argued a case for a client who didn't want to appear in traffic court because he had to be at work. (My guess is that the administrative law judge didn't like it at all.) The traffic sign was located about 6 feet above ground on the sidewalk of a 3 lane...

    Class action suit against PayPal?

    How do you know that Paypal is actually holding the money for that entire duration and also able to use the money or float? If you don't know this for certain up front, there will be no lawsuit.

    company email hacked, customer paid into fraudulent bank accounts

    The following is not legal advice, just my personal opinion. As stated above, this is an issue which you must speak to an attorney for a proper legal consultation on a serious matter. My personal thoughts on what you said: sending fraudulent banking information from one of our employees email...

    My image in a GIF, shared over 123k times-but no way to find where it's originally from.

    My sympathies in believing that you have the ability to control your own content online once it is placed online. You should be able to but the practicality of controlling digital files, at present, often isn't practical and cost-effective. If I understand correctly, you made a GIF of your own...

    Ballys and LAFitness

    What was sold? This is the most important question to ask - the business or the assets? The ostensible successor (LA Fitness) may have simply engaged in an asset purchase. As a result, the only liability of LA Fitness was to pay for the purchase of the assets of Bally's (gym equipment, any...

    Am I personally Liable?

    Beware of the workings of tax collection. I highly doubt that it would be so easy to extinguish corporate debt by using the revenue and then closing down the company without paying tax. Seems like too easy a loophole to leave open. The longer you let this issue languish the longer the relevant...

    Images copyright for websites

    This is a rampant practice. Before discussing copyright law, let's think through this as to whether or not simply giving credit to the source which you copied/downloaded an image appears to be sufficient. I work very hard to get my blog post seen and a terrific picture online to attract sers...

    Roomate Held usps mail

    There are laws regarding interception of USPS mail delivered to another person or party. But I doubt that these reflect a practical remedy in a personal situation such as this one nor does it seem appropriate at this juncture. What is protocol between yourselves - or do you have one? For...

    Did i just get a free tv

    Let's stick to civil law. You made an oral contract, which most certainly may be enforceable but more difficult to prove. The fact that you accepted all the items for delivery places the burden of proof on you that you didn't accept the agreement. Your willful acceptance and taking possession of...

    Advice Needed Badly.

    Situations like these are why it is advisable to have a good lawyer at the beginning of an engagement who can foresee such circumstances which may arise and account for them in the contract. Getting back to the point, without knowing what happened it's difficult to provide insight and it seems...

    Landlord refusing to replace broken washing machine

    Typically you are required to give prior notice (written) to the landlord before resorting to any repair or self-help to which you require for remedy. You should certainly mention and point to the clause which indicates that the landlord is obligated under the lease and ask what the landlord is...

    AB 1482 - landlord just spiked rent

    There is serious competition from New York City. We may be the king of rent control / rent stabilization / regulation.

    Did i just get a free tv

    It seems that they were delivered by the rental center, agreed. But I'm not entirely sure of that assumption since there isn't an indication as to exactly what the worker did, e.g. label an additional item for delivery and/or was the person/party also delivering the item. Regardless, I mention...

    Advice Needed Badly.

    Stop what? There is a dispute between the funding party and a software vendor. Now the money has stopped flowing. Who is the party responsible and obligated to pay you for your work? What do the terms say about a work stoppage? There aren't enough details for anyone to help and all we can do is...

    Did i just get a free tv

    Perhaps you're right - maybe it is a nice house warming gift. So to be prudent and a good renter, it might be a good idea to thank them for their gift. ;) Honesty is most often the best policy. Understand that you may also get billed for a rental since there is no indication that the center was...
