Can someone sell digital, copyrighted copies of someone else's published, but not copyrighted work?

I hold a family ancestry book that be published, but not copyrighted. I have since found it available on-line for mart. This individual has copyrighted this. Is this trial?
Answers: The answer would really depend on what licenses you originally published the book lower than. For example, if you published the book under a Creative Commons License later there is the possibility you consented to a third event developing derivative works for commercial gain.

Or you may have unknowingly signed over your rights to your publisher who surrounded by turn sold them to a third party. That might crop up if you used an online publisher. Or maybe it be the genealogy company that did your book and they retained all rights?

If you don't mull over you did any of those things then no, they can't legitimately do that. A simple letter to this deputation should suffice, otherwise get a legal representative.
There's no such thing as published but not copyrighted.

Copyright attaches to any creative work as soon as it's created.

If it is published, it is copyrighted by uprightness of being surrounded by fixed form.

It was probably surrounded by fixed form before it be published, so who owns the copyright may be a matter of, err, dispute.

Or, the published copy may enjoy copyright only within the presentation, and not in the content. the cheap outmoded novels you see contained by new bookstores (Dickens e.g.) are copyrighted this passageway, as the content itself is otherwise in the public domain.

Which raise the issue how old the work is - if it is old-fashioned enough (like since 1923 in most cases), the untested copyright may have expired.
As soon as something is created, it carry a copyright, whether it has be registered or not.

Normally, registration is done in anticipation of litigation.

If you are the creator, you can register like peas in a pod work as yours, using the date you created it, then distribute a cease and desist note to the person selling it, and emergency the proceeds.

You might need counsel to relief you. But if the person does this like mad, there might be a big pot to run after.

For a specific answer to your press you should consult legal counsel beside whom you can discuss all the facts of your luggage. **
Copyright is automatic when you publish a work. And no, they can't sell it minus your permission.

The usual problem contained by a copyright dispute is proving you originated the substance, and when. A simple way to protect it is to put a copy contained by a sealed envelope, and post it to yourself. DO NOT open the envelope when it arrives - of late keep it contained by a safe place. If mandatory, you can present it in court, still hermetically sealed, and show the post-date on the envelope to prove when it was created.

Registering a copyright can give support to you in international copyright claims.

Beneficiary of parents 401 K. Legal Advice Needed!?

My mother passed away in 2006. She have been on disability near her workplace for a few years prior to her passing. I hold since realized that nought became of her 401K. When I asked the company more or less it I was told that merely a spouse could receive this money; however, my mom had be divorced at the time of death for 20 years, going away me as her sole beneficiary. They apparently have since changed the company statute which would have allowed me to inherit the money, however they said that I still can not inherit it due to the certainty that my mother went on disability prior to the ruling change . Is this accurate? Shouldn't I be capable of get at most minuscule a percent of the money since the money put into the 401K was deferred from my mother's wage? To complicate matter, I have defence to believe that some family member have not be completely honest with me more or less her assets. Also, I don't know how to determine whether she had a will. Should I wish legal counsel and would a attorney take a luggage like this?
Answers: The benefits of a 401K plan be in motion to the beneficiary. If it is your mother, I don't understand why you be not the Administrator of the Estate (Administrator is if there be no will)? Why are you waiting until now to find out? Her estate is probably settled. It's crestfallen that your mom passed away and it appears that you obviously be distant from her. Noone would've kept assets from you if you were within the picture. Assets would've been prearranged too. As for a will, if there be anything left for you surrounded by the will, you would've known something like it, if there be a will. If there be no will, then her assets would be split through her heir (which would include you). Also you have to certify that you had an opportunity to petition the courts so that you could be the administrator and you didn't. If in that was any money disappeared, you have to know that at hand was probably debt too. A funeral is not cheap and you can't avoid taxes at adjectives.
A 401K plan belongs to the participant if she was fully vested. While the company might administer it, they own absolutely no control over it. Any proceeds from her 401K plan would be cut of her estate and should have be included in probate.

Ask for answer from the 401K provider. If you don't bring back help, contact the U.S. Department of Labor who oversees 401K plans.
Rica 82: Who are you to cause statements like those something like a person you don't know within circumstances about which you know incredibly little? Your answer was rude and presumptive, the poster did not ask for a stranger's commentary consisting of flippant assumptions roughly speaking her relationship with her mother. Isn't it at adjectives possible that she has be mourning the loss of her mother instead of concerning herself with financial matter regarding what she stood to gain from her passing...apparently this would be your first priority, but not everyone is that shallow. Not to speak of her age; she said she is recently out of college. Do adjectives college students without supportive family know what to do in such situations? Not everything is as cut and dry as you give the impression of being to think it is...please remove your chief from the sand and try to be aware of the words you're using, presumably to give "advice".

Can I be fired if I have to stay home every other week beside my sick toddler?

She has have a virus every other week, with fever, vommittg, wheezing, etc. My daycare said that Bush passed a new ruling... But I dont know of anything besides the family move act. I am pretty foreign here and am on a 90 day probationary spell. Theu just give me another 90 days of probation though, so they are giving me another shot to get it together. But I hold no one to watchfulness for my daughter if she keeps getting adjectives these illnesses from day assistance. HELP!
Answers: Quiet simply yes they can, and if you have only been put on another 90 afternoon probationary period after they are not willing to cart you on permanantley at this moment in time. You are lucky they didnt a short time ago terminate your post inside the first 90 days.
You have be given a second chance which indicates to me that when you are at work you are plainly worth having around other prudent they would not have troubled them selves next to another 90 day probationary term.
Dont you have friends, ethnic group, a partner her father who could help you?
I craving you luck

EDIT: Vixxen if you can do with out the post, why dont you explain your situation to them tell them that your unreality is not intentional but youre daughter comes first and for the foreseable future you are disappearing to take prudence of her.
They will appreciate your honesty and may have a see for you when you are in a better situation but for a vacancy afterwards a favourable citation.
If you can not do without the income it may be worth conversation to them and explaining your situation. Some employers are more compassionate than others.
I wish you powerfully.
Unfortunately, they can, especially if you are on probation. In their eyes, you are not showing yourself to be a reliable employee, which is what they stipulation. Even if the time off is short pay, it does hurt the company deeply more than the money they save by not paying you. I've particular people that missed too copious days because their car be a piece of crap, and they had no opening to get into work.

My with the sole purpose suggestion is, if you haven't already, take your child surrounded by to see the doctor. There may be something more there than only catching the latest virus every week. She may enjoy allergies to something at daycare.

Is it morally acceptable surrounded by America for doctors to choose who to treat and who not to treat?

Answers: In 'most' cases, yes.

There are exceptions - someone brought into an ER in a life-threatening condition, for example, is entitled to instantaneous care. But excluding that, it's a private business arrangement.

Many Doctors, for example, make a moral judgment not to provide abortion services. Many will provide contraception to adults, but not to minors.

Richard
I can think of instances where on earth it is morally acceptable and responsible not to treat. If the merciful presents with an malady that requires a specialist, and the physician in grill does not have that expertise, he should refer out.

Or, if the treatment have more risk than promise to the patient.

I believe your parent, if they don't approve, can directory child molestation charges on the boy friend, that is if he is 18 or elder. Questions. Does he have a charge? Can he give you a roof over our commander and clothes for your body, food for the table, fun at the mall, movies, etc? OR can he basically give you sex. Will you live within a group or with his clan. Will he always be at hand or gone? Does he do drugs? THINK girl..where is your go before? Well, maybe I really don't want to know but you sure should know what existence will bring you there. Home really must be a mess, impossible, where near is abuse, drugs, alcohol. If this is your home...budge to the authorities and get existing help not the boy friend because you mentioned zilch of love or marriage. Social Services can support with a discouraging home life close to I mentioned above but running away to maybe worse problems isn't the answer.
Two years and you can be on your own. Get your own errand, make your own course in natural life where you can take home decisions which really are base on real time not dreams or fantasies.

Is there a tenet in the UK forcing private homeowners to use fireguards if they own small children?

Two or three people very soon have told me it's the regulation to fit a fireguard, as we have a one year matured and another on the way. We've not nonetheless lit the fire, but have skilled our son to keep away from it anyway. Would I be breaking the decree to light it in need a guard? Obviously I am aware of the need to supervise etc, and that fireguards aren't within to be relied upon, and am not being casual, I just want to know if in that actually is a canon relating to this... Thanks.
Answers: I certainly hope that within is no law governing fire guards, we surely do not necessitate this pathetic affairs of state to dumbdown any more than they already have...
There is in a minute, actually. The tenet requires you to use a fireguard to protect children under 12 years of age (7 contained by Scotland) in a room next to an open fire or other heat appliance.

Heating Appliances (Fireguards) (Safety) Regulations 1991, amongst others.
I'm not aware of any law. We hold a small smokeless fuel burning stove and our son has be fine. He's never gone anywhere near it. The Health Visitor never said anything when she visit and it was lit.

If it's an plain fire then it might be safer to own a fireguard, but I find that the heat keep them away from it anyway.
Not that I know of. We have a mortgage and a 1 year matured son and we have never be told theres a law that requires us to fit a fireguard, although I agree its patently worth doing.

We stopped using our "real flame" gas fire after getting a lb550 gas bill the winter we used it! Its still here but has be switched off and disconnected. So we lone have to verbs about keeping our little one away from ther hot radiators!
at hand is no law covering fireguards simply as there is no ruling stating we have to own smoke detectors/alarms

GC Services is taking me to court?

I recently found out that I owe money for a traffic ticket that I go to court for, but the court is claiming I never paid. I did repay the ticket and the court claims I do not owe any money. But I get a send for from GC Services stating that I owe 600 dollars (twice the cost of the ticket) and I need to settle them. They told me if I did not set up a payment plan I would enjoy my license suspended. I cannot afford to have that develop, because I have to enjoy a valid drivers license for my job. So I agreed to trademark a 100 dollar payment, while I go back to the courts to integer this all out. I concluded up calling them back three weeks, following asking them not to cash the post dated check, because I have a court date for the intial ticket. They said okay, as a backup I did a stop payment on the check. They call me today and said that I have a court date at 12 noontime today and if I don't give them the 100 dollars, they are going to frills my wages, take my sports car, and possibly put me in reformatory for check fraud. I was not trying to commit check fraud, and I hold never committed a crime before. So I told them that I did not hold the money that day, so they said after fine they would just enter a judgement against me. I asked what court my grip was at and what my luggage number was, and they said I could not travel to court to discuss it. Is this true???? I have no right to protect myself, even though I called them and asked them not to filch the money out of my account? I am terrified, that they have no suspended my driver’s license, and of what else will happen…has anyone else ever deal with this company?
Answers: This sounds any like a collection agency trying to return with some money or it's an out and out scam artist trying to rip you off. They're making a bunch of isolated threats to intimidate you into giving them some money (the court will never see this money).

Contact the court clerk to ensure they have a dictation of your payment. If not, label them a copy of your proof of payment and furnish it to them and ask for a receipt.
You said the court say you don't owe them any money. Get a letter from them stating this and distribute a copy of it certified to this company (keep the original) along with a note telling them not to contact you again. If they do, consequently you can get a advocate and sue the crap out of them. Nobody except the DMV can suspend your license.
