Every time I go to fairs, conventions, thrift stores, etc, I see people that sell celebrity portrait drawings based on copyrighted images. Do these people ever get in trouble? How would someone prove that they were deriving a work from a copyrighted image?

There would probably have to be some waiver signed in case the patient changes their mind in the future. And some sort of physical and mental health assessment.

My question is, could someone legally trade sexual favors for things other than money, or is that illegal too?
I tell ya, prostitution WOULD end with poverty.

Face it, if these hard-working immigrants werent in the US (legal or not), would YOU do their work?? Where my parents live, they employ latinos for EVERYTHING, then, treat them terribly. These immgrants work harder than ANY other American, even those of you who say "I work 12 hours a day..blah blah blah" That's behind a desk, NOT in the hot sun, without anyone telling you thanks for a job well done....So, given the chance, go out in the blaring hot sun, do maual labor for 12 hours, then tell me, is YOUR job that difficult??? We take so much for granted in this country, you forget that gratitude brings blessings--be grateful for what you have, and thank those who do the work you think you are "too good" for...............

There was a programme on the other night about how the american troops react to being shot at they panic and dont do it the perfessional way and shot at civilians and booted cars to stop them

When the british got shot at they stayed calm and called for air assistance and and then they could move on but with the yanks oh no they **** themselves and even an american general admitted that the british are better trained and if americans went through british training they would die of exhaustion

There are so many people here in need. Our jobs are being outsourced, there is poverty, homelessness, abused children and spouses, children of drug addicts who are stuck in a broken foster care system, children who need to be adopted, drugs, not enough police on our city streets, and on and on it goes. Fire departments need to beg for donations to but needed equipment, our schools are under-funded, and our taxes keep rising, while programs are being cut. But Bono sits on his million dollar pulpit and gets star-struck idealists rallied about Africa!

Why is Bush so bellicose with Afghanistan, Iraq, and Iran, but soft-pedaling his differences with the most dangerous rogue State of all, North Korea?

I just want to know the feelings behind both the ANTI and PRO immigration movements.

I want to know what motivates people to choose either side.
And in my opinion, I think both legal and illegal immigration are both topics for discussion within Washington...I know this because of where I work.
I feel very neutral and dont care...
but some of you PRO folks are quick to say the others are racist. I would be interested in knowing the response to the argument on paying taxes and protecting schools, medical care.

and some of you ANTI folks say racist stuff and use illegal as a synonymous word for Mexican. Don't you think that some of your comments are mean-sprited, racist and ugly?

ONLY RESPOND IF YOU
1) Understand the question
2) Plan on answering the question stated.

I am not interested in any advertisement of your belief system. Like I said B4 i really don't care, and no I am not Mexican, born here, bred here and trying to understand where folks are coming from.

I agree with Bono on his statement on poverty in Africa, but what about the US. There are children here that go to bed hungry and there parents work for minimum wage and work hard and don't have medical care for there children or themselves and don't even get a good education. So why is it this away if u are in a foreign country u can get all these services free,but not here .

I am not interested in events such as the Iraq war or Hurricane Katrina, but rather individual people and their stategies that have resulted in such strong sentiments such as right and wrong, left or right, with us or against us, or loyalty vs treason.

I did not vote for his x cia director father, and i'd never ever have voted for his idiot son. The world wants nothing to do with us since this clown stole the Oval Office. Or should i say the USSC awarded it to the idiot. Guess the USSC like daddy Bush.

Democrats don't like Republicans because the average Republican is a conservative christian/religious person. Republicans don't like Democrats because the average Democrat is a liberal. We may believe differently and have different views but why can't we just listen to each other? Why can't we consider the other side? Why do we keep fighting each other? Why can't Democrats and Republicans come together? Our differences in beliefs, opinions, and views shouldn't keep us away from working together. Why can't we work together as one group. One party. One people. Americans. Nothing else.

Whn ppl are dieing of hunger, of diseases, why does the US, CANADA, UK, CHINA, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN, VENEZULA, RUSSIA and all countries of this world where “people” of the same human race live invest for guns, warships etc. to kill and draw blood of their own race speaking a different language, religion or skin color. Is it wrth it? Why do we do it? Why do we have to let this continue? Ppl die without food, without medicine. Isn’t it time we undrstnd? Why can’t we all be like brothers and sisters and share this world together? Would it ever happen and when do we decide to make the change? Humans breathe, they eat, laugh, cry, love, understand, hate, forgive. Every human lvng and dead has done so at least 1’ce in their lives. Why can’t we make a change and for change make humanity #1? Spend so that ppl get to live longer, happily with all their material, social and spiritual needs satisfied?
