How legal is the reproduction of Sprites in webcomics?
April 30th, 2009I draw a webcomic, and in an upcoming arc I reference the Direct X demo Space Donuts. I wanted to feature actual sprites from the game (over original artwork), but I want to stay legitimate. I know there are several all sprite comics around now, and I’m unclear how legal this practice is. Furthermore, I’m not even sure if the Donuts sprites are copyrighted– they’re a free download with the demo and there’s no license file included. Can I use them?
I was actually referring to computer graphics sprites, the image files used by the game to represent objects on screen.

Where can software developer/web service creators find experienced legal assistance with documents?
April 11th, 2009If a software developer (or web service firm) creates a product or online service (such as an application, or a service like YouTube or MySpace), lawyers need to write all of the Terms of Use and conditions legal documents, as well as assist in future partnerships with other companies.
Is anyone out there either a lawyer who has experience in this field or has developed web applications or personal computer software that can reference a firm or a place to find one?
Should pro-gay-marriage advocates organize a boycott of dictionaries and other reference materials?
March 27th, 2009I was just reading my dictionary, and for marriage it says:
the social institution under which a man and woman establish their decision to live as husband and wife by legal commitments;
the legal or religious ceremony that formalizes the decision of a man and woman to live as husband and wife;
the formal declaration or contract by which act a man and a woman join in wedlock.
Obviously Webster must be a bigot. Are *** activists planning a boycott yet? Will it include all reference materials, or just the “tough parts”?
Kyle - what are you talking about?? Moses married a Cushite thousands of years ago. Where do you do your research?
While I’m thinking about it…Boaz married a Moabite, David a Hittite, Rahab was a Canaanite….I could go on
Kyle - Regardless, I am not seeing that in the dictionary. You are missing my point I think. I just want to make sure I am not referencing bigot materials. Do I need to throw out my dictionary or what?
Is it legal to not interview a person that is qualified?
March 25th, 2009I previously worked in a position for 1 year and was working for that same company for 4 other years. i was a temporary resident in the u.s. so i had to have a work permit. well it expired so i had to leave. but it was on good terms with the company. now i have my green card and tried to apply but they would not interview me for that particular possition. i applied for another position and i have not been hired. i mainly think my old manager did not like me for personal reasons. so now she is giving bad references to the other location and not willing to interview me even though i’m well qualified for both positions. Is this legal?
also, i’m not a recent immigrant or somebody that doesn’t speak english. i been here since i was 5. so i’m as american as you can get. Also, i might not have been clear on my question. I’m not sayin im entitled to anything. I’m asking is it illegal to deny an INTERVIEW. The answers i’m getting are as if i asked about getting the actual position.
let me ask this then. is it required for them to give you a reason?
Is it legal to sell paintings of commercial logo interpretations?
March 24th, 2009I like to paint logos, but I try to combine 2 different common logos into one logo that looks familiar, but is not an exact duplicate of either. My question is, is it legal to sell my artwork, or am I going to have problems with Coca-Cola and McDonalds getting all bent out of shape if I morph thier logos together. If thier is some law, can someone reference it?
