What else can I help you with?
What legal implications should I consider when starting a new business, keeping in mind that I am not a lawyer (IANAL)?
When starting a new business, it is important to consider legal implications such as choosing the right business structure, registering your business, obtaining necessary permits and licenses, protecting intellectual property, complying with tax laws, and understanding liability issues. Consulting with a lawyer or legal advisor can help navigate these complexities.
What is the significance of the acronym "IANAL" in legal discussions and how does it impact the advice given by individuals online?
The acronym "IANAL" stands for "I am not a lawyer." It is used in legal discussions to indicate that the person giving advice is not a licensed attorney. This disclaimer is important because it reminds readers that the advice provided may not be accurate or legally sound. It impacts online advice by prompting readers to consider the source and validity of the information before relying on it for legal decisions.
Do you have to pay back child support for my son is 31 yrs of age?
IANAL, but your son stops being a legal dependent at the age of 18. After that, you aren't obligated to do anything for them.
What happens if parents fail to send their child to school in Ohio?
IANAL The parent will be charged with contributing to the Delinquency of a Child, Ohio Revised Code section 2919.24(A)(2), a first degree misdemeanor, and Failure to send child to school Ohio Revised Code 3321 (which is also a misdemeanor).
Can you sue a minors family and the school for brutal assault on your child if it is all on video tape?
IANAL: I would think you can, and the tape would serve as valuable evidence in the trial. However, I personally encourage you to go easy on the school. Threaten away to keep something like that from happening again and improve school security, but don't take their money. They need every penny they can get.
Can a police officer contact your parents without your consent if you are 18 and by the way I'm in USA Wisconsin Specifically?
In an official capacity, police may question anyone they think may have information pertinent to the investigation of a crime or any other matter. As does any person. The questioned person has no requirement to respond outside the context of a response to a judicial writ. They retain a "right to remain silent." IANAL. Consult an attorney.
What equivalent to the man command generally provides an easier-to-read description of the queried command and also contains links to other related information?
This, and some other questions on this forum appear to be cut and pasted from a test or quiz of some kind. In this one, since Linux isn't mentioned specifically, I'm assuming it is "assumed" to be referring to Linux. The answer is the "info" command. I wouldn't be surprised if the above question is a part of some copyrighted publication and should not have been published here. Though IANAL, I think it is doubtful this use would satisfy the legal requirements for "fair use" of copyrighted material. [JMH]
What is the maximum length of time creditors can legally freeze an account?
Debt collectors cannot "freeze" a person's bank account, that can only be done by order of the court. Generally a court will hold the account no longer than 30 days when making a decision as to what if any of the funds contained are subject to a judgment creditor levy.
If husband is on a lease and being evicted does the wife have the right to stay at property?
You will probably need to provide more details, including the jurisdiction and the terms of the lease, but generally speaking: If the lease is in the husband's name only, then after he is evicted there is no valid lease; the wife certainly has no "right" to remain at a property which a) does not belong to her and b) she does not have a valid lease for, and the landlord very definitely has the right to have her evicted or possibly even arrested for trespass if she tries to stay. If both names are on the lease and the landlord CHOOSES to evict the husband only (IANAL, but this seems somewhat messy to me, and it may or may not be legally enforceable), there's not really a question of "rights": the landlord chose not to force the wife to leave, so it's up to her whether she wants to go with her husband or not.
When does U.S. Patent protection on the Bose Radio Expire At 500. plus a pop radios should cost 29.95 each without patent protection. I'm waiting to buy.?
A search of USPTO revealed patent No. 4,628,528 with a date of December 9, 1986. Patents filed at that time expired 17 years from the "issue date", so that patent is most likely expired. Please note that the drawings in the patent show a boxy-looking wave guide that looks nothing like the curving waveguides seen in "autopsies" of actual Bose radios. Those may be covered separately by later patents. Other problems? You need more than just the proper waveguide geometry. It looks like you also need to feed the speakers with an amplifier that has a frequency response that's not the usual stereo setup. Combine the technical problems with the potential to infringe on later patents, and that's probably why we haven't seen a clone yet. Oh, and even if you can nail down the technical and legal aspects of the technology patent, don't forget design patents: You need to make sure that your radio doesn't look so similar to a Bose design that it would fool somebody. That's the least of your worries though. Standard disclaimer: IANAL (I am not a lawyer). If decide to take on this project and market the result, you will need one.
Do Las Vegas Casinos pump oxygen into the buildings?
This is a an urban myth. Casinos DO NOT pump in oxygen to the casino. For one reason (and probably the most important) it is illegal! A felony, actually (IANAL). Secondly, it is a fire hazard. An oxygen rich environment will cause any fire to be accelerated, even if only a little. Thirdly, considering the amount of air exchanged each hour, an incredible volumn of oxygen would be necessary to make a difference. This would also mean special equipment, more staff, etc.. It would be incredibly expensive, and the risk/reward ratio is just too small. Actual casino interior/exterior design (besides location) is the single most important factor in drawing patrons. The truth is that a MASSIVE amount of air is replaced each hour. The casino has huge air handlers that keep the air free from smoke. They sometimes add scents to the air to keep it smelling fresh. A typical casino can exchange the entire volumn of air in the casino several times an hour. This, of course, gives the impression that oxygen is being pumped in because it smells so fresh and clean.
What internet providers cut off internet for illegal music dowloads?
ISPs don't care what you download. It's the content publisher who cares. Under the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) ISPs fall under Safe Harbor, which means they are not responsible for any traffic initiated by the users of their network. However, one of the provisions of the DMCA is that, in order to keep their safe harbor right, they have to comply with DMCA Takedown notices. So basically, if you access a website or are downloading an audio or video file that you can't legally download/access, the ISP will _most likely_ not do anything about it. This is because, as before, they are covered as a safe harbor, and they don't want to make their customers angry by constantly shutting off their internet. The problem lies in the uploading of content. Because you are technically "hosting" a file when you download it through peer-to-peer programs, the ISP is forced to take action whenever a DMCA notice is received for your computer. So a content publisher will go onto a torrent site or a p2p program such as kazaa, search for some of their own content, connect to a server, and then automatically send DMCA notices to the ISPs of all the IPs that they connect to. By the nature of the p2p protocol, your IP is not safe at all. You can potentially use a proxy, though your speed will likely be extremely slow then. Essentially, any p2p software you use will be hindered by this simple fact. If you can disable sharing completely, then your ISP most likely won't receive a DMCA takedown notice for you. If you use something such as Peer Guardian, that blacklists content provider's ISPs, you will be slightly more safe. The best way not to get your internet shut off is to never upload anything illegal, ever. And you'd be advised not to download anything illegal either, though it's less likely you'll get in trouble for that. Note all this advice is IANAL and you'd probably be well off to consult an attorney on these matters, just to be certain.
