Legal Issues You Cannot Afford To Ignore

by Mike Sigers

Ask Bob Silber

It’s almost time for us to shut down this campaign, tally up the questions and figure out the best way to make the info available.

Before I present all the questions to Bob, I’d like to give you one more snippet of info and one last chance to Ask Bob Silber.

1) Did you know that there are four simple things your blog/website must have right now, otherwise you’re asking for trouble ?

2) Did you know Mrs. Fields Cookies was fined $100,000 and Hershey’s Chocolate was fined $80,000 for having improper Privacy Statements ?

3) Did you know the marketing strategy you’re using right now is probably illegal ?

4) Did you know most peoples conceptions about intellectual property is completely wrong ?

5) Do you know what the real uses of Trademarks and Copyrights actaully are ? Probably not, because almost every blog/website we check is catastrophically wrong.

I just noticed a great stance taken on parts of these issues over at The Blog Herald. Matt has taken a stance that I seem to agree completely with, which is unusual for me, since I’m not easily swayed.

Take 5 minutes and Ask.A.Question.

Take 5 minutes to help ensure your freedom in the future.

Don’t let this get so bad that the government comes in and whacks this whole thing like only they can fudge it up.

Well, YaChin, if we all had your talent, maybe we could make our own art and take our own photos. But the majority of us don’t have anywhere near the talent you were given.

The art you’ve made is mind-boggling to an unskilled one such as I. Use your talent wisely and it will make all your dreams come true.

And, if you’d like to present a more professional image, one befitting an artist and not some kid who thinks it makes them sound big, feel free to remove that crude language and use your words more wisely.

There’s no need for that and it serves no purpose, other than to make you look foolish.

Your art deserves better surroundings than those worthless words.

Peace.
