Copyrights

Are you SURE it's ok to put it on the Internet?

Disclaimer by Blanche Cohen

I do not profess to be a lawyer nor expert in any area of Intellectual Property Law. As a professional in the software industry I have been interested and critically aware of the issues for over a decade. Since June 1994 the general public and various Government agencies have been publicly bombarded with information, some accurate, some biased, from many sources.

This is the starting location for my studies on Copyright Law and related issues in Intellectual Property Law.

Spam, Junk Email and UCE
USPS US Postal Service regulations concerning chain letters and such
Good Times Virus And just because I'm tired of getting email from well-meaning but technologically unaware people, check out this location for complete information about the Good Times Virus.
Russ Smith & earthstar I too, have been inundated by junk mail from earthstar.com. Russ Smith has done quite a bit of investigation into it.
Gary McGrath's Self-Defense against UCE We all get tired of phone calls during dinner from strangers trying to sell us something we don't want. Well, the concept has moved to the internet. Only this time, the equivalent is junk fax, since the receiver (me, in this case, and you!) must pay for the unwanted solicitations. Where's a court action when you really need one?
