Yes.
yes
they are getting sued because they stole the name from someone in the U.S.A.
You can always be sued for hurting someone. Is it worse to hurt someone while wearing a bullet proof vest? Not particularly.
Bankrupt means having no money. If someone has lost their job, has no other source of income, has no savings then he/she is considered bankrupt.
Yes, he did. He got sued for scamming someone out of money. I do not know what the verdict was though.
Yes.
No, why would you think that?
Rhianna was sued for a music video, someone said it was his work that was used in the creativity of the video.
It would depend on why they are sueing you and also what the disposition of the bankruptcy is.
Congress can be sued. In fact, Congress has been named as a defendant in many cases. In 2009, someone sued Congress because they felt Obama was not born in the US.
That depends on what your band has done. If you've done a cover of a song, you can't be sued aslong as you credit it to the original artists. If you've called your band the same name as someone else's band then you could be sued if they find out. If you've hit someone over the head with a can of dry ice, then you can also be sued, or even prosecuted.
