You can look at Sherlock Holmes. The character is in public domain, but some aspect of his character isn't, as the last few stories are still protected by copyright.

That first one is interesting... I once stopped for a load of pumpkin bread before boarding a plane. I put it into my backpack. The tsa agent saw the buldge and started to punch my backpack! I yelled at him to stop and he said he thought it

70% isn't always better than 0%. But if a small restaurant did this, they would tack on delivery charges. The customer should be paying for the service, not the restaurant. I realize that a delivery charge is also added on. But it fee

I've worked with several start ups and my experience is the exact opposite of what you said. Due to costs of scale, it is virtually impossible up beat cloud architecture. Ignore the fact that you can get started for free it next to fre

I don't use Uber eats, or any other service. How does it work? Does the restaurant pay the full cost? I would have assumed it was free to the restaurant and the customer pays the delivery free. If that was the case, then why is there a

Well yes and no... This is coming from a person that just replaced a 25 year old car with a brand new one. In general a car is a car. Other than maintenance, a car from ages ago will get you around just fine. But there have been a ton of i

Yes, it is a bailout... If used in a certain way, otherwise it is a loan. Considering the government ordered the businesses to close, bailing them out seems the right thing to do. It isn't like last time when banks were mismanaged an

I'm not sure how that article claims that spying is illegal. Typically it isn't illegal for a company to monitor is own equipment. That article says they can't force you to divulge your social media password. Most companies p

Variable names sound be succinct . They don't need to be short, but they also shouldn't be essays. I had one coworker who would essentially write everything the function did. Variable names would be 100+ chars. It was impossible.

A small business isn't going to go to a wholesaler for small items that they use. If you are a small shop, with a handful of employees youll probably just go to Costco to get the small number of items you need. That is how Costco got s

I never understood the reasoning behind not allowing togo alcohol from a far food place. I can always walk next door to the convenience store and buy a can. So why can't the restaurant sell it?

I believe your first statistic is based on where you get the disease or not. The second is just based on the number of car accidents per year. I don't think we really know what the odds are you will be infected

So I don't know Italian or European parent law. But how would this be illegal? It appears the part was redesigned from scratch, so I don't it used any process that is patented. Of course maybe patent law is different over there.

I'd the virus is that widespread then there really isn't that much to fear. Consider we know most of the days caused by the virus. If the virus is much more widespread than we think, the number of deaths is so the same.

I'm not a lawyer either but slander and libel involve false statements. Using an iPhone isn't a false statement. I'm not sure how you misuse a copyright. But there is no copyright involved here. Trademarks maybe, but you aren

My reading of this article is getty was claiming they own the rights to the photos, and requested payment from the photographer. Because they didn't have a record of her paying them... Despite the fact she didn't get it from them.
