Guys im being sued for copyright infringement by thompson. I bought a scanned pdf copy of a book online a year ago from some website that sold student textbooks I had this file sitting in my computer and decided to sell it on ebay last week beacause I didn’t need it anymore. Ebay noticed it was a pdf copy and must have reported me to the publisher. Now the the publisher is threating to sue me if I dont provide them with the sale document with the price it was sold for. They said once I provide the information relating to the sale they then will consider for a settlement offer if they agree that’s the route to go since it probably would not be worth going to court over this small sale. But what if their settlement offer is to high?. All this for a 20 Dollar sale and Im a fulltime student that does not work. I don’t know what to do and I cant afford an attorney and I already wrote them a letter apologizing but they still want me to repay them that money I made (20 bucks) which is not a problem for me and once that is done then they will make a settlement offer. What kind of money do you guys thinks they will want in damages or for settlement? Or for infringement laws browken? Would it even be worth getting an attorney for this? What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.

I cannot understand how a mother could do this to her child? What is happening to our world that a mother could do this? This is happening far to often to children. This woman was caught in a sting operation because of something she posted on the internet.

The Idea was originated from a white boy who's family where slave owners. Does this ignorance still dwell within the last generation of whites from there misguided up bringing into a nation that once treated blacks as a foot stool to success, because of it's leaders. From the construction of the United States to the Millions maybe even Billions that were taken from the Souls of African American Ancestors during cotton exports /slavery days. Does the Idea of grand parents with knowledge & stories so cruel to even death to family members from these old laws.. Is it enought for the black youth to endure; not only stories, but a generation of No Wealth with Slim to No Education/ rasied in a background so vivid but true; What is the Black Nation to Do??/ When it is time to lift your head/ not for being a skin color; "But a human in the world" is humiliation in children cartoons the way for our children future or is this a way of (Money/Power) Over a Society we all strive to figure out.

I have been the child's legal guardian for 8 years. The mother just recently entered the penal system, and wants to grant me temporary custody so I can take the child for a visit. The POA ends when she is scheduled for release. I don't trust her. I already need to fill out a form concerning the legal guardianship and have it notarized. I don't know why I also need to be granted temporary custody by the birth mother.

I want to sue a parent for certain damages. What should I do about contacting a good attorney even though I do not have the funds to cover the legal fees for a good attorney? Do you think my parents will still like me if I sue them?

I received a ticket in North Carolina for speeding 79 in a 70. I was charged with Speeding and Driving without being licensed by the state (my priviledges were suspended from a previous ticket, which is paid, but paid late). I missed my court date, primarily because it slipped my mind, which is the truth. I received a letter from the NC DMV about it and when I looked at the ticket, in small print it said there will be a warrant on me if I don't show up. I'm planning on calling the courthouse tomorrow, but I'm really nervous about them arresting me. Do I still have the option to pay it and not be arrested? How does this work?

The total fine was $160. Wish I wouldn't have forgotten it... would have been a lot less painful.

In fact, I want reparations from the nation to make up for the fact that Italian-Americans were once persecuted in this country!

natural curiosity, but nowhere have I ever found that there is a mandate for separation of church and state. There is, however, a mandate that the State (USA) shall not "establish" a state religion.

This may be splitting hairs to some, but I think it warrants serious consideration. I myself am not for an over-abundance of religion in political life, but I do not think our forefathers ever had the idea to "rid ourselves of a moral base". Is it not a moral and ethical base that keeps us from killing one another just because? And is it not this moral base that keeps us from committing any one of a number of atrocities upon one another?

One can argue, I believe, that without some religion in our background, anarchy and criminal activity would be the order of the day. That without some moral and ethical bases upon which to guide our conduct, we are certainly no better than a madhouse filled with, and governed by psychotics.

So, where did "separation of church and state" come from?

I thought I better put a warning in the topic header as this is a very sensitive subject.
I was wondering if someone could tell me if it is required by law to bury a stillborn baby? What about a pre-term fetus?
At what gestational age does a fetus need a death certificate issued? What happens if you can't afford to bury the remains, where do they go?
I know these are such morbid questions but, I was always curious about it and I didn't want to ask anybody in fear of offending them.
Thanks!
