You may want to at least consult an attorney to see if there is any legal issue to pursue. Without knowing to whom you sent the e-mail, whether it's a goverment agency or a private person/company, and exactly what the content of the e-mail there isn't much I can tell you. You might also want...

Make it easy for whom? For the companies holding the data? It is most definitely not easy or cheap to extend the GDPR requirements to all users and as they have no such legal requirement they stick to the minimum that the GDPR mandates. The user bears some responsibility, too. If a EU resident...

The EU and UK GDPR rules only apply to those companies that retain information of people in the EU and the UK. Likewise the CA privacy laws only protect the those persons in that state. As a resident of Oregon you don't benefit from any of these laws. Oregon and federal law do not provide the...

Mexico accounts for a very sizable part of our trade; well over $300 billion of both our imports and imports are with Mexico . It has part of the reason that goods that Americans buy were as inexpensive as they were before Trump went off on his misguided tariff romp. Without trade with Mexico...

I think David Mamet needs to have the lenses on his reality glasses checked. He is wrong that Trump was "overwhelmingly elected". Perhaps he's also math challenged because no one who was being honest would call getting 49.8% of the popular vote an "overwhelming" victory. That's about as close to...

It's always great to have a lawyer when in court like settings when you don't know the applicable law very and are unfamiliar with the court/abitration rules that will be used. Especially if the other side has an attorney. Studies of this kind question typically reveal that when one party has a...

Mediation is simply a process of negotiation between the parties, often with the help of skilled mediator. At best the mediation reaches an agreement to settle the dispute. If one of the parties doesn't live up to to his end of the deal then the other party may sue him for a breach of contract...

First, understand that sites and apps don't have a particular location, though the servers hosting them do. If the owner of the site or app specifically make it available to citizens in a particular state that has banned that site or app from making available in the future and the owner...

Contracts with medical providers typically have provisions in them that the patient agrees to pay for any necessary costs needed for the treatment, including paying other medical specialists to provide some or all of the care. If the doctor had any experience with hiring out for services the...

That is indeed one of the reasons for that presumption in the law. In a lot of circumstances it is extremely difficult to prove that you didn't do something. There won't be any video showing you not committing the crime. The best the defendant can hope for in terms of video is a recording...

What damages have you incurred as a result of the takedown of the album? That's important because litigation costs money and if your damages are small those litigation costs might exceed the amount of the judgment you get if you win. It's also very important to closely read the Spotify terms...

True. Politicians in particular seem to be truth challenged. Trump's administration is exhibit "A" for that. That's one of the reasons a truly free press is so important. Reporters who dig to find the truth and expose it to the light of day do the country a great service.

If that term is in an actual employment contract between you and the employer the fact that the starting date is misstated typically will not void the contract. If the matter went to litigation the most likely outcome is that the court would reform the contract to reflect the intent of the...

The employee may terminate the employment at any time for any reason if the employee did not enter into an enforceable employment contract that required the employee to work for the employer for some stated period of time, e.g. six months, a year, five years, etc. When they enter into that kind...

The default employer/employee relationship in almost every state "at will". But if the employer and employee enter into a contract that limits the ability to terminate at any time the relationship is no longer at will. If the employee breaches the contract and leaves before the contract period...

Exactly right. China's manufacturing capabilities has grown substantially since the 1960s and 1970s when "Made in China" was pretty much synonymous with shoddy, cheap, and terrible products. When the factories are directly run by a U.S. or EU manufacturer those companies set the standard for...

I doubt many people, other than Trump and Trump's most ardent followers are going to believe he was calling for the killing the president. In my experience people use "86" as short hand for dropping a project/program, firing an employee, etc. That is the meaning I took away from Comey's post —...

I wouldn't wish that diagnosis on anyone. He's going to have tough days ahead in this battle. The cancer may be responsible, at least in part, for the notable lack of energy Biden had in the last year of his presidency. Thirty years ago I lived in Chester county PA, which shares a border with...

It's long been the case that at demonstrations some of the crowd crosses the line and does something either disruptive or illegal. So if Mayor Baraka refused to obey lawful orders by law enforcement he ought to face the treatment as everyone else. I can't comment on whether the arrest violated...

In other words the U.S. DOJ is doing business as usual on these cases. People's opinions will vary on whether the DOJ should be using that approach but it doesn't look like the DOJ isn't going change course in this kind of situation any time soon.
