Re: Trickle Down Effect of Copyright Infringement

Mardi_9504 — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 23:13:39 -0000

Illegally downloading a song, movie, or television show seems harmless and you’re only hurting those that are already millionaires who don’t need the money, right? Obviously this is untrue if you have even a basic understanding of how entertainment products are produced. All of those that help to make the final product depend on the revenues from sales for their salary to be paid. So, when you download the latest song or movie from a pirating site, you’re putting people out of work.

I’m not the first one to tell you, I certainly won’t be the last and at times the story can get old. However, it’s important and it’s real and the new campaign against infringement debuted with a video today.

Watch the video and read the Hollywood Reporter story HERE.

First time this bullshit story was reported it was not "last week" in 2011 but in 2008. It has no credible source except the blogs of Right-wing morons and their dupes. Did not happen.

If I were a bar taker, I'd be happy as long as I pass. My school's passing rate wouldn't matter much to me. Besides, the best part of life in the field of law is the satisfaction and fulfillment people get from it.

I agree with Lou. Sometimes law schools rank higher/better just because they are attached to a big school that has other programs besides law, such as undergrad and other professional schools.

Lawyers are treated like a good because they help to provide the right justice to the people. But in today's time where everyone is corrupted its difficult to find the good lawyer. This article explains very interesting facts of a good lawyer. I like this article. Great post!!

Mr. Henson's article is dead on, and I am another living example to prove it. My paralegal training and real world experience in a civil litigation firm provided me with a more practical working foundation than law school. To paraphrase a local judge, "Law schools are good at making law students, but terrible at training working lawyers." Law school provided a valuable foundation in the history of the law, and in the elements of the various aspects of each substantive and procedural area of the law (the WHY), but did nothing to teach me HOW to practice law. The monetary value I was able to provide to clients and my employer after law school came from the practical experience and network that I gained as a paralegal - not sitting through 4 years of mundane lectures in law school.

Guest appears to fit into the category of maladjusted, unhappy, annoying folks who look a BIGLAW job as the ultimate reward for being superior to everyone else. There is nothing idiotic about Carson Henson's post. Networking is the key to finding a job for most law students.

Re: 3 Steps 3L’s Should Take Now to Prepare for Student Loan Repayment

Great list. I know too many students that come out of school in serious debt with no strategic plan of playing it off. It's a dangerous line to just think you'll get such a high paying job that it doesn't matter. Often, you still have to work your way up the corporate ladder (and pay scale) and that's not always feasible. A little planning today goes a long ways. Great info!

GPS Tracking is good technology. These can be used in many ways for tracking or as information of location. Need to be used for good purpose.

You couldn't be more correct; I wish I had googled myself earlier. Yes terribly excited, and no resources for a patent attorney, which was a nightmare. However I've reversed an iowa case through supreme court pro se as well as wrote referendums, both to help the community. No resources as of yet for JD from hahvahd. Patent work is tough. I currently have "Tunnel Vision" my book that is underway, and I'll have resources to blow life back into this wonderful creation that is not in public domain. Like a hamster running in the back of one's mind. I had a 2nd generation plan that could now bare fruit once I've resources, mainly the specifications where I fell short with R&D and patent attorney. I now know what the material will be and yes, there's a solar bank involved.

I'm flattered that you wrote about this and like that you like it. I can see it too and is doable with resources and a bit of R&D, I may see it through through and hire patent attorney just to oversee and make sure all the I-s are dotted. Thank you for throwin' it out there.
