How do I acquire a copyright? -

at least I think thats what I need. You see, I found a freelance mixer to record my bands music. But I found out (by asking a lawyer) that unless I have copyright, who ever produces the product and edits the music file is the owner of it. He or she can legally edit it however they want and call it their own, because I gave them the file. It s like if you write a report and give it to someone to publish. Without legal proof, anyone could call it their own and yo wouldn t have a leg to stand on. How do I get a copyright?

A copyright is implied to the originator of the song, unless there was a contract that gave the copyright to the producer. You can register your work with the US gov t at http://www.copyright.gov/register/.You generally don t need to register to have a valid copyright, but it makes it infinitely more difficult and expensive to claim if you haven t registered your work.

Is laptopsgoingcheap.com a legitimate company? Too good to be true? -

I stumbled upon a too good to be true laptop computer sale through http://www.google.com/products. I searched for the HP dv7-2180us and found that laptopsgoingcheap.com is selling them for $620.00 which is about half of the other retailers. The sites appears to have spawned from the UK (which isn t a good sign so far). I won t buy from them without any prior experience or some type of feedback so if you ve already been burned, post your response here. If you haven t already ordered, I don t recommend it at all at this point. The site advertises a 7-day return policy...wierder already. Here is their contact info, supposedly:Contact Us By Phone:+447024057519Contact Us By EMail:1 VICTORIA PLACE,THE PROMENADE,KINGSBRIDGE,DEVON,TQ7 1JGContact Us By EMaillaptopsgoingcheap@gmail.com OR cheaplaptopsonline@yahoo.comfrom:http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/laptopsgoingcheaponline/the-template/about/Page

I want to know the same thing, I just ordered from them and they said the credit card system was broke..They gave me the option of paying with money order or signing onto yahoo messenger to talk to a representative about how to pay with the credit card which would probably involve giving them my card number, so I m sayying EFF that.They had a really good deal for a Acer Aspire 1410 though :( 285$!!I m not going to trust it. I told them to let me pay with paypal, or nothing. They said they only accept paypal if you ordered more than 3 units. I replied saying make an exception or I m on the road.We ll see what they say. Lol. I wouldn t trust it though.

Yes, this site is a scam. http://store03.prostores.com/servlet/laptopsgoingcheaponline/StoreFront You can see from the url that the site is part of Prostores.com. I have notified them they have a fraudulent site and they said they would have it removed. As of 11-4-09 it was still operating. Report Abuse
