Short quotes by themselves are often not copyrightable, which is why you'll see many books of quotes (however a compilation of selected quotes can certainly be subject to copyright.) As others warn, don't take general loose statements such as these as absolute although you can also use logic as...

Since we haven't seen the terms of your NDA, everything stated here is more general in nature about non-disclosure agreements, which by law are also usually restricted (and in some states unenforceable.) The attorney's job is to protect the interests of the company. Sending you a letter which...

Perhaps approach may help in terms of your options. How do I delete my book from the Goodreads database? Deleting published books from our system is against policy. Goodreads is striving to be a complete database of all published works, including works that are out-of-print. We like our...

Parents being passionate about their child's athletic and sports endeavors is a well publicized topic, especially on video sites. In addition to little league, see also Lavar Ball (who is probably the most well known parental protector of his children, Lonzo Ball and his two younger brothers.)...

Agreed and thanks for the reminder and it is a good point. I mention discussion because Fry's is a well known retailer and I recall them having a good support team that can explain the situation clearly. Many are reasonably good at remedying something small, e.g. not making a payment on time...

Did you discuss the issue of the missed payment? I tend to find that most of the time the vendor is usually understanding about a one time problem, especially if there is a switch in the notification method.

Agreed. I think the form says to list which existed so the statements could be viewed as a multiple choice question and only the above mentioned statement could be the one to include.

I deal with international law. In essence, your question involves the copyright law of each jurisdiction and a reference to the Berne Convention which is a treaty of several dozen countries and is also explained in this topic on the Berne Convention and copyright law. Much of the time...

I can sympathize with the property owner as I'm assuming that many would believe that what seems like a harmless permission at the time shouldn't have permanent application. A mistake was made and it doesn't seem you should lose your rights of control. I would be careful about this situation...

This is a very easy question to answer if you're seeking content removal. First look at Facebook's own terms of use or "community standards" which I am confident will cover a situation such as this one. You don't usually have to get to copyright law because Facebook has fenced rules which cover...

In New York City we have something possibly worse. Mayor Bill de Blasio calls it a "vision zero" policy to prevent fatalities from speeding, reducing the already slow 30 MPH on major roadways (including major boulevards) to a glacial 25 MPH. It cost millions of dollars to create and install new...

I don't think it is the same at all and it seems that the first sentence may apply based upon what you've said: "Petitioner was released by the Court and the arrest/charge is no longer pending and never resulted in final conviction." I have found often that when a person is working on a legal...

Agreed and the police aren't necessarily in any position to make such a determination. But the police may decide to take a drive to see if they can settle the matter amicably, especially if it might involve a legitimate complaint and someone who may not dispute the allegations. From the way it...

That's a difficult question, especially since it is a mark which is also the name of a famous literary character. Given the money behind the mark, I'm not surprised to see letters sent to you. I can't tell you what you can or can't do since I (nor any of us) know enough about your use and what...

The mayor (president elect) is trying to push certification through quickly and he's actually only months away. He's seeking the green light while he is still in term. I was surprised too but it was rather surprising how easy it seems to have been to spend (literally) what appears to be well...

You mentioned that the dog has a microchip implant in your name. Did you mention this to the police? If so, did you try to file a complaint for theft of the dog? What did the police officer say to you?

This is true. As I stated, not paying the last month's rent (and relying upon the security deposit) is technically a breach of the terms of virtually all leases I have seen. What some have done (when they leave with the premises is reasonable condition and as per the lease terms) with regard to...

If it's in my part of town he'll need to wait 10 years for our (potentially) new multi-billion dollar jails to be completed. I may write an article about our Mayor's new criminal justice reform plan which has New York City spending over $10 billion to construct jails that some have likened to...

Read the words of the judgment in your case. It is possible that the matter was fully adjudicated at that time and that all current (and future bills) were taken into account although we simply do not know. Anyone can file a lawsuit and make allegations. And you can defense, as @mightymoose...

Glad to hear that the charges were dropped. Without saying more about the case, if you were charged for what may have been a scheme to defraud by someone else (e.g. your former employer) and you spent six days in jail as a result, the civil side of the case is that you may wish to consider...
