The obvious next question is that even if the mask is protected by copyright, does that preclude you from having a character wear it in a movie. Zd touches on this lightly in his first response, it likely depends on just how you use it. Another issue is trademark.

While it is true that copyright was originally a noun (since the 18th century), it started to be used as a verb in publication in the mid 19th century. It's hardly a 'recent' development here in the 21st century.

Certainly NOT true here in North Carolina. Easements may be shown for informational purposes, but more often than not they are not. Their granting is almost always buried in some textual description. Being on the HOA board here, I've dug down through the deed and plat book indexes for...

Nothing says they can't put taxes on service fees. Anybody who's looked at the details in their utility bills see those sorts of things.

Sorry, this site is for United States law only.

Sort of. PA does indeed have ROR. It also has a couple of other things: nonmonetary conditions and unsecured bond. Nominal bail is some token amount, something that the defendant likely had on him at the time, rather than the larger amounts of bail. It's rarely used, because judges...

There is no such law in any US State to my knowledge (just as there is none that prevents a woman from lying about her use of contraception or other fertility status).

Rule 600 is distinct from the normal SOL rules, it's more along the line of a speedy trial rule, though it's distinct from Pennsylvania's speedy trial law. As for the SOL, in the case of the drug possession stuff, it's two years from the offense. In the case of the motor vehicle offsenes...

Wisconsin indeed has a six-year SOL on drug possession felonies. They also have an uncommonly long (three year) SOL on misdemeanors.

You can't go back more than three years on filing. You should have been filing anyhow. YOU HAD INCOME. You were taking in rents. The fact your expenses exceeded the income made no tax due didn't eliminate your obligation to file. Note that rentals are almost always passive activities...

Rule 600 runs not from the date of the offense but from the date the criminal complaint was filed which likely is no earlier than October. If that is the case, the lawyer was correct in February and is still correct now. Overcharging is not uncommon in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but...

And if you don't pay off the damages, the penalty is you'll be suspended and it will run until a year AFTER you make full restitution.

You don't. Go to amazon.com/video and click mystuff. They'll try to sell you more stuff, but you should be able to watch the stuff you already have paid for (unless you only did the "rental" option).

DV crimes have serious implications even if they are only charged as misdemeanors. Do not talk to the police if they come asking (say you lawyer says no, he will for sure). If they press the matter with an arrest shut up and insist on an attorney, you'll need one at that point.

As long as his reason is that he won't rent to you based on being a protected class (race, religion, disabled, etc...), then he doesn't need a reason to refuse to rent to you. Refusing to rent to someone who backed out of rentals multiple times sounds not only legal but an extremely good idea.

What was the first charge?

You're lucky it's just registration. I have a friend who was convicted of child porn and in addition to the 18 months he spent in jail, he had five years of probation that involved no access to the computers or internet in any form, plus the sex offender registration.

Not likely. If they were regulated brokers, you could make a FINRA claim (in fact, your contract with them likely requires you try arbitration first). However, it is doubtful that these "providers" are so regulated. As such, you can try to see if the "provider" will submit to an arbitration...

Maybe the case, but promoting is on the Tier 2 list.
