To the best of my knowledge, US copyright law only protects the font software, and not overall letter shapes. But as many fonts are designed in other countries, this still raises the question. Is it illegal to manually re-create someone else’s font? submitted by /u/Desserts6064 [link] [comments]
A central issue in the Lindsay Clancy trial is criminal responsibility. It’s not simply whether she was mentally ill or psychotic, but whether her mental condition impaired her capacities in the particular way required by Massachusetts law. The jury will hear competing psychiatric evidence and then ultimately decide whether that legal standard has been met. But most jurors presumably have no…
Question about how TV/streaming distribution works. So there was this one show I watched that aired on tv overseas in one country but select few countries had access to it with Youtube on the company's official Youtube channel. Later this year, a new season is airing on the same youtube channel but the countries have been expanded but instead of the episode persisting forever, its going to be…
I'm specifically thinking about a town like Helen, GA, but I'm sure the laws around incorporated jurisdictions vary greatly from place to place. Helen is basically a tourist town. There's an estimated 500 actual residents within the city limits, but the town sees an estimated 3 million visitors each year. Spread out evenly, that's 8,000 extra people each day, and it's not spread out evenly. While…

Are these considered separate…

What possible reasons could a judge have for not sequestering the jury? submitted by /u/Equal_Personality157 [link] [comments]
Suppose you’re about to encounter the police. You press the off button 5 times to disable biometrics. The police tell you to unlock your phone. You say no. Then there’s a court order. You say you don’t remember the passcode. Forgot it because you’re stressed. submitted by /u/Least-Perception547 [link] [comments]
The FCC is working on new "know your customer" rules. If I understand correctly, they will force phone companies to collect customer IDs in order to sign up for phone service, or to maintain existing phone service. A consequence of this is if you don't have a US passport or government ID to hand in, you would eventually lose your phone service. I know you may be reading and think, "well, duh, of…
Location: Canada I know people are probably sick of hearing about this issue but I'm hoping to get a serious answer to this because anytime this is asked people just react emotionally and let feelings get in the way. I would just like to preface that I don't honestly believe Enes is a woman and he will ever play in the WNBA, I don't think anyone actually does think he will but from a legal…
They didn’t have any visible placard and was just wondering. I don’t like assuming about people but it shouldn’t be legal right..? submitted by /u/0325cb97 [link] [comments]
