Online Piracy and Why It’s Illegal

My name is Michael Forrester. Thanks for visiting my website. I hope to provide you with some valuable information. Have you heard about online piracy? Maybe you have heard the term, but don’t know what it is. I had a friend who had to seek out a lawyer after he was accused of committing online piracy. He had no idea what it was or that he had committed a crime. My friend was playing an online game. The people playing the game were talking about a movie, and my friend said he had never seen it. Someone told him that if he wanted to see it he could get it for free. He was given a website where he could download it. This was the beginning of the mess. I’m going to share some information with you so you won’t make the same mistake.

Potentially Dangerous Activities: Is It Worth It To Require Waivers?

Posted on May 15, 2019

Homeowners associations and townhouse community associations often have to deal with bored kids coming in and trying to turn local playgrounds and sidewalks into impromptu skate parks, or people trying fancy bike tricks in the middle of the street. This creates liability issues for the HOAs (not to mention damage) if one of the people doing this hurts themselves. HOAs and residents may consider having waivers for all residents -- if they get hurt, they won't sue the HOA and so on -- but the effects of the waivers are not as clear-cut as many think.
