If I post poems and lyrics on a web page or anywhere on the internet, is it classed as intellectual property and therefore copyright or do I need to pay to copyright my lyrics and poems before I display them for the public to read?

I'm working on an essay, and I wanted to get a few facts straight on this.

Since its last reauthorization on March 9, 2006, when will the act expire?

Does it violate any parts of the Constitution other than the Fifth Amendment? If so, which?

Thanks.

Has there ever been a case brought to the Supreme Court that ruled what the first amendment of Freedom of the Press meant?

To me it's always meant that the press has the Freedom to go anywhere they want.

I strongly believe that there needs to be a law that says they have to report both sides of an issue. For instance: Iraq. They report only the bad. Only soldiers know about the good we have done there.

I don't remember the numbers, but in the last 15yrs crime has consistently gone down, while the amount of crime reported has gone up. Leading the American people to believe things that just aren't true.

Don't you know Gov. Corzine's vehicle was doing 91 mph in a 65 mph zone. Plus, he was not wearing a seatbelt. If this were you or I, we would be in hot water.

I just got off the phone with my cousin. She told me that on Friday, her 9-yr-old son came home and said that his teacher made him stuff paper towels in his mouth after blurting out answers during class. The boy is currently undergoing tesing for ADD/ADHD. I know that he's a handfull. I used to watch him during the summer. He can drive you crazy to the point of exhaustion! I just can't imagine what good would come out of instructing a young child to shove paper towels in his mouth! The boy has enough problems with his self esteem without being made a spectacle in front of his whole class. So, my question is... is this act of telling a 9-yr-old boy to shove something in his mouth to keep him quiet and teach him a lesson, child abuse? And, what actions should be taken to prevent it from happening again?

My boyfriend is about 10 months older than I am, so he is going to turn 18 before I am. Would it would be illegal for us to continue going out (as in kissing, sex, and other intimate acts) after his birthday? I live in CA

"Interrogations might not be exercises in gentle persuasion, but neither are they excuses for physical beatings, suffocations, sexual humiliation, or any of the other abuses that some U.S. guards and interrogators have inflicted upon detainees in American custody. Pain will make people talk, although we may question the quality of the information thus obtained." ----excerpted from "Unconquerable Nation"

If any of the students or faculty had been exercising their right to conceal carry under state law the killer could have been stopped before he killed that many people. Why does everyone seem to over look this. Why do people only get one side of the story on the major networks.

weve heard from Alberto Gonzales under oath. He remembers that he fired them, but not when he fired them or why, but he still wants to take full credit. Since neither the White House nor the Justice Department has so far offered any reason why 10% of the US attorneys were fired I ask you,
Why were 10% of the US attorneys fired?

My family and I, after living in an apartment for over two years, recieved a hand-delivered eviction letter in the mailbox. It was dated the first, we only got it the fourth. They evicted us because of a 'long concern over the cleanliness of the home'. They were in our apartment many times, fixing the various things that went wrong, including many floodings from the bathroom above ours, and they never said one word to us about the 'cleanliness of the home'. Well, we found a new place, a better place and have lived there for a couple of weeks. Our manager stopped by today to give us the head's up that our old landlord called our new landlord and told him that our apartment was so filthy he couldn't even step foot into it. He's a damn liar but our new landlord believed him and now the manager is going to come by every week to make sure we're keeping the place clean. Is there anything we can do to our old landlord for telling such lies about us? It surely can't be legal to do that

For the past 3 years my family's life has been a living hell because we have been treated like slaves on the black market by the family court system in our area. In court I have been riduculed, insulted, screamed at, made a joke of, and threatened to be thrown in jail for actually following court orders made by other judges. My child now has to lives half of her life in a neighborhood consisting of 8 red alert pedifiles, with her grandmother who smokes marajuana everyday, her grandfather who smokes ciggarettes everyday, and gets no child support from her father because one of the first judges I had made a mistake and took away my full custody with no just cause. So I consulted with a lawyer and was told that none of this would've happened if the judge had ordered properly on my case. So my question is, can lawyers sue judges for making a wrong judgement? I feel I deserve something for pain and suffering, lost wages, unpaid child support, and doctors bills since my child is always sick.
