Reasoning of the law

The lawyer I talked provided and in depth of information and answers for my questions. We talked about the differences in torts and crimes for where I was heading. "Because tort law is so broad, it takes a while to understand its boundaries." pg. 77 
My lawyer went into depth about his answers when I asked him the ones dealing with copyright. The lawyer answered my question on the important issue dealing with intellectual property he answered The first big issue is who owns the content. The question of ownership is very technical. It is almost like a complicated jigsaw puzzle. There are copyrights, trademarks, licenses, and all sorts of things that you need to consider first to make sure that you’re nice and safe. He meant that there was a lot to go through for my work to be protected and dealing with ownership. "A working knowledge of these issues can help everyone from business executive to citizen alike." pg. 103 
The lawyer had quite some answers and went to my questions in a certain approach. When it came to the question about infringement  he answered even if you run a blog site and someone uploads copyrighted material to it and you haven’t made certain filings with the U.S. Copyright Office for safe harbor, you’re in trouble. What he means is that I need to do certain filing and I can get in trouble regardless if it is not mine and I admit it but the fact with someone else's work on my blog can get torn down and pay a huge fine. It will make things for you better if you did know that you are liable for innocent infringement. It would worse if you did not know because that can land someone in a whole lot of trouble. 
  "Fraud refers to various crimes, all of which have a common element: the deception of another person for the purpose of obtaining money or property from him" pg. 114  
Fraud is what I would like to avoid next to copyright issues.

Legal Authority

It was not an easy task to reach a lawyer. I did my research online to find lawyers that dealt with copyright, patent, trademark, and intellectual property which ever subject would be just fine.. I stumbled upon Weide & Miller which dealt with all the subjects I have listed. Now I should remember "Unethical behavior is a risky business strategy and it may lead to disaster" pg. 20
I needed to make absolute sure that every single word coming out of my word did not sound like a kid in elementary school. I needed them to be professional, mature, and prepared to talk to the professionals."When making ethical decisions, people sometimes on the reason for the decision and they want to do what is right" pg. 20 I contacted the place and I'm suggesting the person at the front desk answered. I asked him if there was an attorney available for me to talk to on questions about trademark, copyrights, and all related topics. He tells me the attorneys will like to answer my questions for a cost of being to explain in depth questions about them. I was truly nervous because one screw up with my vocabulary meant the end of talking in an interview and the cost of me failing.That right there gave me an authority to talk to one of lawyers and amazingly I did. The man I talked lasted over half an hour. We went over my questions I asked and even went as far before even conducting the interview this is for a college project. I went in deep begging and pleading for him to help me out and even told him that you were in that time Mr. you know what it felt like to do projects that landed your career and made who you are today. The persuasion worked and the man was very nice and I'm very surprised I did not have pay to talk to him. The fact he did not charge me for the half an hour interview truly gave me a sense of hope. I thought this company that resides near Summerlin, Las Vegas was a great choice. I was truly surprised by how honest the lawyer was to me and how he was not a greedy cheap lawyer now these days. The interview went quickly and easily and I was satisfied with some of his answers and I did agree and disagree with some terms but occasionally we worked it out.

The Questions Final

Ian Galdamez
BUS250H Contracts, Negotiations, and Copyright
These questions I am asking to the lawyer are all related to the subjects of Intellectual property and copyright issues. Some indeed are important to not only for me in the future but for others as well. The terms involved here all deal with copyright and trademark issues and trying your absolute best to make sure all of your work is protected. "Each of us have a duty to behave as a reasonable person would under the circumstances" pg. 94

1. What is the most important problem related dealing with intellectual property for an online content publisher?
2. There is always going to be different terms and tasks for this but what is the difference an assignment, a work made for hiring, and a license?
3. There will be times where it can happen to not me but anyone else. Why should I care so much about getting ownership issues resolved
4. I may not know this either, and the penalty will be massive and put anyone in misery. When are there times where I can be liable to infringement?
5. This is constantly happening a lot. How do some sites such as YouTube get away with such acts?
6. How about when it comes to linking videos? Is it all right to do so?
7. How can I fully protect myself when I'm licensing my own content such as work, posts, and blogs?
8. Is labeling Your work with the copyright logo guaranteed that your work is protected from thiefs?
9. It is going to be a rough time for me indeed for this. How can I easily solve the very complex issues that deal with copyright and ownership?
10. How will I know what type of protection is available for my work and/or projects?
