Would it help to make the drawing look a little different than the original, like mirror image, or something like that? Lots of artists sell pop art based on famous images of celebrities and historical figures. Are they breaking copyright laws?

last time I post this question I got some serious people asking for help related to their sex offender issues
one time one mother's son was in prison and didn't know where to turn for help.
and it felt good for me to refer that mother to a sex offender support group.
you know for every sex offender it's someone's mother's , father's , brother, son, daughter, grandfather, grandson.
it not easy when you have love one that did something wrong and is gone.
we sex offender know what we did was wrong and there some of us that wre working hard to impove ourself.
so if you know someone that a rso let them know that there are help and support for them

Yesterday, I took my Will to work so I could take advantage of having three people together in the same room to witness & sign it. I hadn't realized that, as it was drawn up fourteen months ago, every line that required the date to be entered, already had 2005
typed. My boss caught it and we crossed out the year and wrote 2006 above it, then everyone initialed it. Is that sufficient or do I have to have a new one drawn up? Thanks!

When national leaders commit crimes they cannot be judged by their own supporters. i.e. the president is subject to trial in the Senate, usually his pals.

Cops should not be investigated by other cops. Cops are investigated by Internal Affairs , other cops.

Why is it that ordinary people have to face a jury of their peers but the powerful and rich face a jury of their friends?

My grandpa died about 3 years ago. My mom remembers my grandpa talking about going to get his will done, but that was several years before he passed away. My grandma said he didn't have a will and everything was hers. My grandpa worked VERY hard for his money and very hard to keep it AWAY from my grandma. He had seperate accounts from her and everything. He was very tight with his money, she is just the opposite and was 10s of thousands of dollars in debt.
If my grandpa did indeed get a will made up, would the family have automatically have been notified that there was a will, or would we have had to inquire about one to find out? (Not that it matters, as my grandma blew the $100K he had in savings less than a year after he died.)

I ask because I see programs about gays on television and they are funny and popular, but when a program about religion and real people comes into play, it gets yanked off the networks. Musical groups get ostrasized for speaking their minds by having their records burned and being accused of not being patriotic. Exactly whom are we trying to not offend?

Protesting can create awareness, but how much awareness is necessary at, say, a funeral? Is it possible to leave a protest site as a protester and actually have completed the opposite of that which you were trying to acheive? Should motives for protesting be detail specific, or can they be strictly 'general'?

With 1 church brought to mind in the central US with a track record of protesting at military funerals with signs such as "Thank God for dead soldiers", should funerals be considered "private by law" or "public domain"? I'm not proposing a legal assault on the protester's rights, but rather protection for those receiving the protest. When is a protest not a protest but a chance to jab at a wider issue at the cost of, and with only an audience consisting of, a family and their grief? Key words "..at the cost of..".

The ultimate question here is "Is it time for a law concerning protests and public peace?"

My neice had a trust set up for her when her father died 13 years ago. Her paternal grandparents have been in charge of the funds. She is 15 and her maternal grandparents have custody of her. We have recent reason to believe all of these funds ($150,000 13 years ago) have been exhausted ofr the paternal grandparents use, not for my neice-she does not have access to the funds. What steps can her legal uardians take to look into the spending of funds from the trust? We are willing to take criminal and civil actio in the interest of my neice.

Can someone give me either from personal knowledge/experience concerning a very serious situation: I have a close friend who is being badly psychologically, emotionally abused-manipulated, conned and constantly lied to and mistreated. She is at the end of her rope and is talking about "taking care of this particular individual". This would be considered "pre-meditative", I guess, but I don't know the law..so I can't say anything. I need some strong facts, preferably legal. Help and Thank you very much.

their obvious aim is to heat the planet up to a point where humans can no longer inhabit the majority of the planet, Is this because they beleive what the orion ETs tell them or just because they are insane, a lizard needs the sun to survive once there is no winter they will thrive and our species will decline rapidly. I am disgusted how politicians of western nations think that if they lie often enough we will beleive them, Humans dont need to be governed so why the strict control mechanism.

I have a very complex problem. My father owns property in SC he has had a couple living in that property for 10 years while he has lived in another state. My father can not remember if there is an agreement to lease the property or not. However he has asked no payments for 5 years but has asked for the couple to fix the property up. After 5 years he did request rent but only received one payment. Recently my father gave them a notice to vacate giving them over 30 days to vacate the property. She has stated that she will refuse to leave and will no longer be in contact with us. She sent my father a letter telling him she would leave in December and would expect a certified check in the amount of $37,000. We can only assume that she is claiming this is the cost of the repairs she has done on the property. She however has never given receipts for the repairs even when asked. Does she have rights to this property? Can he evict her? Even if there is a lease can it last for 10 years? Thanks!

Got stopped in a small town. The cop told me I was going 70 at one point, and I know I never went over 64 in a 55. He ended up giving me a ticket for 58 in a 40, funny since I didn't go over 55 until I saw the sign that said 55.

Two weeks ago today in Honolulu, HI I bought a car and signed a contract stating my monthly payment. Today a dealership rep calls and asks me to come over to sign more paperwork. I thought I had forgotten to sign something so I went. The guy tells me I'm supposed to sign another contract with my new monthly payment, which is $118.00 more. I tell him I won't sign it and want the general manager to call me, since she's the one who told me that my monthly payment would be what I signed for. I can't find any legal answers on the 'net because the government websites are sooo confusing. Help!!!
