Copyright Infringement Case – Innocent, So Do I Need…?


I’ve been caught up in the trolling efforts of a well-known firm that pursues possible pirates of pornographic films. I’m innocent, I’ve never even heard of the film and I don’t participate in piracy. I’m willing to offer my computer to be searched to clear my name, though they’re pressing for a settlement of a few thousand dollars before they publicly name me as a defendant (one of those ‘John Doe’ situations). Seeing as the best evidence they have is an IP address that was somehow affiliated with my internet account, do I even need to hire a lawyer for this?

I Am Into Computers, But Do Not Think I Will Be Able To Pass Computer Science Classes.?


Hi, all my life i have been into computer gaming, and fairly decent with computers. I recently have been looking into my college major, and realized that my interest in computers may have a very hard major affiliated with it. I do not want to just settle with a business major because that doesn’t excite me, computer animations and maybe testing or creating games really is what i want to do. My question is, if i have little to no actual computer science skill, will i be able to keep up with the classes and work? Also what should i do to maybe prepare for it ( being able to not jump into it extremely confused ).
Thanks to all who give me advise!

Advent Computer False Advertising?


My boyfriend “recently” bought me an Advent Modena M100 Blue laptop, on the box and the little sticky label that is on the corner of the laptop is states it is a dual core. Plus, it says it is a dual core on the websites for this model.
HOWEVER
It is not! My brother has looked at its “underwear” (the secret bits I wouldn’t know how to find) and it clearly says it is a single core.
Why is this? How can Advent get away with lying and misleading like this? If it were not for my brother, I would not even have known this.
How can they market a product as dual core, when it is only working off ONE core, when the vast majority of computer users would not even notice, let alone be able to activate the second one (if that is even possible – my brother thinks not)
Is there anything I can do about this?! It was bought for me christmas last year, so a long time ago, and has gone from slow to ridiculously slow during that time, hence finally getting my brother to look at it for me to see if anything needed fixing. Ideally Id like to complain to Advent and even more ideally get a replacement laptop that at least meets the stated specifications on this one, as those were the specs which were paid for in the first place.
Any advice on what rights I/my boyfriend have, if any? Thanks in advance

Is Reselling A Subscription Based Online Service To M Customers At Markup Price Legal?


I have a computer business and have been looking into reselling online backup solutions to my customers but I wouldnt make any money at 30% commission becoming an affiliate or reseller partner. So I have been wondering if I can get away by selling it to my customers and getting them to pay me each month for the subscription (higher price) and then I pay the online service the original price and I make margin. Is this possible? The only thing is would the company get suspicious if they saw me paying multiple accounts each month?

Is Yahoo Really Working On A Way For Members To Take Over An Abandoned Group?


I’ve read messages on here that are 2, 3 and more years old saying that Yahoo is working on a way for members to take over Yahoo email groups that are abandoned by their owners. It seems like it would be simple to do with these steps created by Yahoo:
1. Create a button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer system that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
2. When 2 group members have clicked on that “I’m abandoned” button, Yahoo would automatically send an email message to the owner asking them to reply to Yahoo with a special code or to a special website
3. If no reply is received from the owner, repeated email attempts to contact the owner would occur once per week for 2 months (in case they are on a long vacation with no email access).
4. If no reply is received from the owner during that 2 months time, the people who told Yahoo about the abandoned group would be made owners of the group.
A good option would be for the members to be able to vote for one of their own to take over the list of an abandoned group. This could be done by adding a “I vote for the following people to be in charge of this group” box, next to the button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
1. Yahoo could have a pull-down menu of all members in that group, to be selected by the members reporting the abandoned group.
2. Yahoo should send an email (with a reminder a week or two later) to everyone in that group, telling them that 2 members reported that the group had been abandoned. These messages could give the name, ID and/or email address of the owners, asking all members to contact them, if they know them, urging them to assign someone else to be the owner, or become an active owner again.
3. The people with the three top number of votes from the group members would all become owners of the group. Hopefully with three owners, there would be very few abandoned groups in the future.
I ask again, is Yahoo really working on a way for members to take over an abandoned group?
