I've got a chance to make a web ad video for a particular company. In my video I'd like to use my daughter's teddy bear, which came from Ikea and is one of their line of stuffed animals. The bear does not show the Ikea name anywhere on him, nor any other markings that would show who the maker...

I'm sure everyone has heard these yahoos that are saying the world is going to end tomorrow. There are people that have joined the caravan across the US, that just walked away from everything they owned. A curious thought came to mind. When we all wake up Sunday morning as per usual, and...

We have a neighbor that is in a bit of a pinch with our HOA. They sent the notice of annual dues dated May 1st with the due date of June 1st. The dues are $160. The problem is they are living paycheck to paycheck as most people are, and missed the due date. It has been sent to a lawyer for...

Short sweet back story is I have a cousin who's husband is a hugh religeious finatic, and she was wanting to go to a family function, but for whatever reason he didn't want her to go, and since he's the man of the house (blah, blah, blah) he forbid her to go. He told her if she tried he would...

If I were to film a wedding, which of course includes filming the first dances (Bride and Groom, Bride with Father, etc) which means I'm capturing the music that's being played, would this violate copyright laws on the music?

Someone I know is buying a car. His credit is kind of average, and his mother is co-signing the loan. As such she will be on the title of the vehicle. He asked me what I thought about the following situation, and I am really not sure. The question is, if he is driving the car, and causes...

This is purely a curiosity question. If I had a debt collector that violated the Fair Debt Collections Act, I know that you can sue them, and the judge can make them pay up to $1,000 per violation without out you having to prove damages. Only that they did violate the act. My question is, how...

The workplace is an airline. The vacation policy is you earn a certain amount of vacation time at your anniversary with the company, but you don't get the time until Jan 1 the following year. In other words, the amount of vacation time you get this year is based on how long you have been with...

My parents own a rental house, and the couple next door, who are in their 80's are the stereotypical "get off my grass" old neighbors. The lady especially. They came and cussed my dad out because their grass died, claiming the bugs from my parents place migrated to their yard. Anyway, for...

On Thursday my wife was picking our son up from his pre-school. On the sidewalk is a water valve (one of the deals with the round cover about 6 inches in diameter.) The cover is not flush with the concrete, but rather sits about 1 1/2 inches below the sidewalk level. As she was walking the...

This is from a question on another forum I'm on. I just want to verify that I'm thinking along the right lines. One of the guys had posted a YouTube video, and some of you may be aware that YouTube has started ditching audio on videos that have copyrighted songs in them, even if it's a small...

I know someone who was checking into a company that does debt negotiation. Apparently the way this works is you set up a savings account and make regular payments to the account. Once you have enough money to pay off one of your debts they go and negotiate the debt for you, and pay it. But...

First question - at a church, if the church members sing a song, or perform the song on an instrument in the church, and the church puts it's sermons on it's website, would there be an infringement? Secondly, I'm wanting to start doing a wedding videography business. The question here has to...

The other day at work someone said they knew of a way to beat points on your license if you get a ticket, and hence, your insurance won't go up. Let me preface this by saying I think he's full of it, but stranger things have happened, so I will pose the situation here and see what everyone...

Is it possible to set the boards so that someone MUST post their state or country in the field? Theres just too many times they ask a question and people start to answer and either A- can't get too specific without knowing where the person is, or B - there are a series of answers before the...

well, looks like I'm the one needing advice this time. April 1, 2008 I got rear ended. Not too bad on the damage, just the bumper and bumper cover (It's a MINI Cooper). I had called my insurance (Progressive) as Flordia is a no fault state. Ideally I file the claim with my insurance, then...

This is one I've heard people say, but never actually heard of it happening. If someone breaks into a home or business, and they are injured, would they ever be able to sue the owner, or would it get thrown out because they were injured in the commision of a crime?

This is just a curiosity question at this point, as this happened about 4 years ago. I've just always wondered what would have happened had I taken this one to court. I was driving along in a 45, doing about 58. I got pulled over, and the officer wrote the ticket for 51. 58 would have been...

My employer has come up with a creative way to keep from having to pay overtime. What happens is, if I have to stay late today for say 2 hours, then one day later in the week they will have me either come in 2 hours late or leave 2 hours early. Either way, we end up with only 40 hours in the...

My employer has started an underhanded game. Let's say I work 2 hours over today. Normally at the end of the week, after I have worked my normal schedule, this would give me 42 hours in the week, meaning 2 hours overtime. But what they are doing is having us come in late (or leave early) one...
