What is the statute of limitations on music piracy if the music collection is kept?
There are actually two statutes of limitations for music piracy. One is the civil statute of limitations, which is how long you can be sued by the music company, which is 3 years. The other is the criminal statute of limitations, which is how long you can face criminal prosecution for the crime of music piracy (copyright infringement), which is 5 years. These two statutes of limitation are found in 17 USC §507. Note that the fact that you kept the music collection is irrelevant. Courts have ruled that piracy is not a "continuing tort;" what this means is that the statute of limitations starts at the time you commit the theft. Therefore, you can be sued for 3 years or prosecuted for 5 years after you have stolen music, even if you HAD deleted the music.
What is the statute of limitations on D.U.I in Washington state and if you appeared for the arraignment does that nullify the statute of limitations and make the DUI charge prosecutable indefinitely?
The statute of limitations for gross misdemeanors is two years from the date of violation. RCW 9A.04.080(1)(i). However, as you have noted, when a person appears for arraignment and then absconds from the courts, the statute of limitations and speedy trial rights are tolled. Thus, the court and prosecutor can keep the case alive indefinitely. Your DUI in Washington is likely tolled and you need to seek a Criminal Defense Attorney to help handle your matter. If there is an outstanding warrant, you can appear with your lawyer and have the warrant quashed so that you can address the matter.
What is the statute of limitations of a non moving violation tickets in Missouri?
Statutes of Limitations vary from state to state and apply only to crimes where someone has not been charged. The 'non-moving' part is irrelevent, all traffic violations are minor misdemeanors. If you have received a ticket then the question is not even about statute of limitations. For example, in Texas if you run a red light and are observed by an officer he has up to two years to file a charge (issue a ticket) against you. After that the statute of limitations prohibits the filing of that charge and you essentially 'got away with it'. However, if a ticket is issued before the statute of limitations expires you have a certain period of time (usually identified by an Appearance Date) to either pay the fine or request a court hearing. If you don't act before that time is up, the court will usually issue a warrant for your arrest (sometime a second charge of Fail to Appear will get added on). Once the warrant is issued it does not expire. Some courts will recall (nullify) very old warrants, but there are no general rules requiring the recall of old warrants. I've seen some that were 10-12 years old get served on very surprised people.
Is there a statute of limitations on bench warrants for traffic violations in Georgia?
Your best bet is to consult with an attorney about this. Each state, and even each city, may have different laws and policies that cover this situation. You can try to contact the Court which issued the bench warrant. They may be willing to tell you if the bench warrant is still valid or when it might expire. (Some courts will not tell you anything that might remotely be considered legal advice, so don't be upset if they won't tell you.)

Can a collection agency still send you letters after a dispute has been investigated and deleted?
Yes. Deletion from the credit report does not affect whether the debt is owed or whether the statute of limitations on the debt has expired. Note that even if the statute of limitations has expired, collectors still can try to collect the debt -- they just cannot use the courts (or threat of legal action) to collect the debt. If you are getting collection calls on a debt that is past the statute of limitations, just send a written demand to the collector to cease all calls.
Is the statuet of limitaitions apply to medical bills over 14 years old?
No. The statute of limitations (which is five years) only applies to a crime, whether it be a misdemeanor or a felony. The only exception is murder, which has no statute of limitations. A past due medical bill is treated like any other unpaid for service, and most (I'm not going to say all) courts would order it to be paid.

When the common law does not provide an answer the courts must refer to a statute law for guidance?
