Factoring Lawyer Matt Bracy discusses his latest blog
January 28, 2010
Matt Bracy host of the factoring Channel writes “The US Department of Justice decided several years ago that it does not like structured settlement factoring, and will not allow structured settlements it owns to be factored. Exactly who made that decision, and why, has been hidden behind the executive privilege.”

Where can I get legal advice on anything?
January 25, 2010
It is tedious (as well as expensive and time consuming) to always go to a solicitor get legal advice on minor things like driving licenses or software usage.
New laws being published do not always get to the people and sometimes these people can get caught out without knowing why they have been fined or arrested.
Where can I get British legal advice on virtually any matter (as well as the minor things) without going to a solicitor or going through law school?
Cheers
Try the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Should Obama make the origin of his internet campaign contributions public?
January 25, 2010
Odd numbered amounts like $133.72 cents are coming in for his campaign. Sometimes one individual is donating like 35 times in a single day. Isn’t it clear these donations are coming in from over seas, and that they are donations from non US citizens. That happens to be illegal.
Obama receives illegal funds from ‘terrorist hotbed’

Barack Obama, photo by Russ Jones.According to Federal Election Commission filings, Barack Obama has received illegal donations from Palestinians living in Gaza, a hotbed of Hamas terrorists. Obama received more than $24,000 in campaign contributions over a period of two months last fall from three Palestinian brothers from the "Edwan" family in Rafah, Gaza, which is a Hamas stronghold along the border with Egypt.
The story was uncovered by Pamela Geller of the Atlas Shrugs blog. (see Federal Election Commission report)
Attorney and conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel notes foreign nationals are barred from making contributions in connection with any election — federal, state, or local — and an individual is allowed to give only $2,300 per election to a federal candidate or the candidate’s campaign committee.
"The donations are basically through and through illegal — that’s number one. And number two is how the Obama campaign tried to conceal it," Schlussel Terrorist with hostagechides. "They listed the campaign contributions as coming from Rafah, Georgia. They used the ‘GA’ from Gaza so it makes it look like it’s legal; and then for the zip code it says ’972,’ which is actually the area code to dial over to Gaza," she contends.
The attorney comments that if the Obama campaign is willing to "accept thousands of dollars beyond the legal limit and they’re also going to flout [Federal Election Commission] restrictions…that’s very indicative of what kind of president [Obama] is going to be."
"They’re not going to be worried about the details and they won’t mind if they break the law to get to the final result that they want," adds Schlussel. She believes it is a "major news story when a presidential candidate receives money from ‘a bastion of Islamic terrorism.’ And Schlussel argues that the media is "bending over backwards to help Barack Obama and cover up any negative news about him."
Schlussel says Pamela Geller will likely file a Federal Election Commission complaint against the Obama campaign for violating restrictions and limits on campaign contributions.

Oh no!
A conservative commentator has discovered some shady contributions that the vast left – wing conspiracy is covering for?
A shocker!
As to the source of his campaign funds I do not know if he can do that.
Can you sue a person for public humiliation because of something they put in their internet blog?
January 25, 2010
My friend’s sister-in-law has been spreading horrible rumors about her through a blog on the internet. She has called her names and spoken of her personal business on this website! None of it is true so we were considering suing for libel but didn’t know if public humiliation would also be worth trying to do. Normally we would just drop the matter and move on but the woman has gone so far as to bring my friend’s newborn baby into the picture and post pictures of him on her blog! Enough is enough!!!
YES YOU COULD PEOPLE SUE FOR ANITHING
LIKE REMMEBER WHEN MILEY PUT THAT PIC WHERE SHES POSING LIKE A CHINNESE SHE GOT SUED FOR THAT AND IT WAS JUST A PICTURE

January 24, 2010
Does an email recipient have a right to "publish" and/or "make public", the contents of that email, providing they protect the privacy of the sender (i.e., block username, email address, real name)?
I am curious if it is "ok" to, for instance, publish on to my public blog, a portion of an email I received from another private party (not a corporation or such). I intend to remove ANY identifying info about the author. It is solely the content of the email I want to push to my blog.
Is this legal? Or do email composers own the Intellectual Property of the emails they send? Please let me know whether or not you are an attorney. Thanks
Please, if you are not an attorney, let me know WHERE you got your information. I’ve worked in the internet space for 10 years now, so I have heard a lot of "opinion" on the subject. I would like some facts. Thank you for taking the time to answer my query!
Just to clarify, I am not intending to "plagiarize"… it would be clear from the context that this was an email sent to me from someone… not a piece of prose I am ripping off. I would say, "check out this email someone sent me"…
The links below are a few law places with opinions about publishing a private e-mail. It recommends a statement such as "Email sent to this address may be published or made public," etc. The copyright of the e-mail is owned by the sender or the sender’s service provider (if sent from work).
Anyone use blogs for professional/career reasons? Or, just entertainment?
January 24, 2010
I’m compiling a research paper for grad school on the use of blogs. One of the primary focuses is the use of blogs within professional communities and organizations. For instance, do you visit blogs to keep up with the latest happenings in your career field? If anyone knows of a great blog for lawyers, doctors, or even strippers, let me know! Chances are that your input will make it into my paper. Help a grad student out. Thanks.
Blogs should be used for professional reasons. There are a tremendous number of professional blogs. For education, check out http://www.weblogg-ed.com/, http://teach42.com/, and http://www.discoveryeducatornetwork.com/blog/.
Personally, I do keep up with my own profession (education) through blogs. I use bloglines as my aggregator.
Can someone get sued for his blog postings?
January 24, 2010
I maintain a blog in which I wrote a very harsh posting about someone I dislike a lot. Can she sue me for that posting if she finds that it harms her reputation? Will the law system accept the posting as an evidence against me?
Have you read perez hilton lately? She can scare you and threaten to sue you, will she win? No.
