    General Chat thread. Also can someone under age 21 legally go into a bar in a needed emergency?

    Bad analogy. While I'd sort of agree with it if you were talking about people making copies for personal use, just viewing them on YouTube would be more in line with people being held liable for watching network TV when the station aired an infringing program.

    General Chat thread. Also can someone under age 21 legally go into a bar in a needed emergency?

    YouTube manipulates (some might use other terms) a variety of copyright issues. As pointed out, there's the base issue of copying the original composition and musical performance. As already pointed out, if you're going to set a visual (video or live performance) to it, you need...

    Good Samaritan Code to avoid eviction Housing Homeless person

    There is also no "good samaritan principle." Some states have specific "good samaritan" statutes that protect those who help in good faith in an emergency situation from civil liability. This is NOT one covered by Iowa's (or any other state's that I am aware of) Good Samaritan law.

    Consumer Law, Warranties Developer Failed to Complete Subdivision Street Before Filing for Bankruptcy

    Best bet would to be to band together with your affected neighbors to share an attorney to represent your interests. If these are private roads, there's ZERO chance the state/county is going to do anything for you. If you're willing to make them public, they may allow you to dedicate to them...

    Do we have to pay unpaid taxes by previous owner?

    The lawyer screwed up. Did you have title insurance? A short sale has nothing to do with "between two family members" but involves a bank accepting a payoff less than what is owed on the sale. It has nothing, one way or another, to do with taxes (arrears or otherwise). Asked by whom?

    Yes, he's hoping for the principle often quoted that "abandonware" is somehow exempt from copyright. It isn't.

    Advice on personal banking issue

    They aren't going to "donate" the money. There's a lot of holes here. Why did the money order "bounce?"

    Owner wages

    I have no clue what "depend on draw" means. You must treat yourself as an employee at the prevailing rate for an S Corp rather than taking all the money as a dividend.

    Owner wages

    Your question is incomplete and the answer depends on the details you omitted. The general sense is that the answer is yes. If there is income disbursed to people who are performing work for the corporation, a prevailing wage must be paid for the work done (meaning the FICA/Medicare taxes...

    Do we have to pay unpaid taxes by previous owner?

    As AJ suggests, this should have been dealt with at closing. I don't know what a "mortgage lawyer" is. If you had a lawyer handling the closing, you should ask him why he screwed up. If you have owner's title insurance (which you should have had), then you might get some relief there.

    Patent, Trademark or Nothing

    If you've not disclosed the technique (including selling products based on it), then it might be patentable if it is non-obvious. Whether it's worth trying to get a patent we can't tell at a distance. There are attorneys who specialize in this. A trademark doesn't protect the invention...

    Contriving a lawsuit for activism

    What you are proposing is a crime, actually. It is illegal to bring a civil lawsuit for a purpose other than to recover what is reasonably expectable as the resulting judgement.

    No will

    OK, since we've decided to go off the tracks here. Zippity is entirely wrong. The Ontario laws for intestate succession apply distribution procedures WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. That means if the people mentioned by the statute do not survive the deceased, their children DO NOT get their...

    Help with validity of copy of a Will

    The will only indicates a preference for the executor. Nobody has the power to act unless named by the court. If your father chooses not to serve, than the court will chose someone else. Yes you can certainly volunteer and likely will be approved.

    No will

    We only deal with US laws. What you need to do is contact a Candian legal source. The words you want are "intestate succession." In addition to posting this to the wrong web site, you posted it to the wrong section here. A living will is a document expressing your wishes for medical...

    I did read everything you wrote. Don't get snooty. Your comments were unclear as to whether the payments were made timely. All it says is you got current later. They are required to tell you if the SERVICER has chagned. But I didn't say otherwise. If youi READ what I wrote, I told you...

    It's your job to make sure the payments are made. It's not the lender or their assignees or successors job to tell you that the drafts might appear different.

    Can I Petition to Changing IRA Beneficiary, if Person Cannot Be Located

    Indeed in California, you can go to probate court to resolve the issue, possibly. There are other steps that may be more prudent in advance of that.

    Note that hit and run doesn't mean anything to you. The driver may or may not be prosecuted. You have no right to have someone prosecuted, crimes are not victim vs. defendant but rather society as a whole (as represented by the state) vs. the defendant. As far a civil action goes, whether...

    Trademarks and home crafted goods

    The mold itself may be licensed, but that doesn't mean a product produced from it would be. Trademarks only are an issue when you are using the in commerce (for example, selling the items). Universities are pretty vehement about protecting their marks these days (I'll put them right behind...
