It is unlikely that you will face any trouble over this. Technically, anyone can report anything to the police, but police and prosecutors evaluate intent, content, and harm. A charge is unlikely to be pursued unless there’s clear evidence of grooming, sexual content, or coercion. The person’s... View More

You could be implicated in conspiracy to commit a crime or aiding and abetting cybercrime, even if you didn't commit any hacks yourself.

While it's not high, there is still some risk. It's helpful that you are avoiding logos and artwork. But if these phrases are distinctive enough and commonly understood by fans to refer specifically to the anime, using them could lead to trademark infringement or a claim of implied... View More

UK defamation law is very different from US defamation law and much more favorable to plaintiffs, and for that reason, a British defamation lawsuit cannot be directly enforced here. An American court would have to review it (essentially trying the case over again), with the different standards that... View More

Yes, you can do this, but there are some requirements you have to comply with. Obviously doing it the other way around - selling your own perfume under another manufacturer's brand - would not be OK at all. But since you are not claiming any affiliation with the original manufacturer, their... View More

I am an expert in paraphilias and the law, and a New York lawyer, so I am happy to help you with this question. Zoophilia content is illegal, but it is not criminalized to the same degree as child sexual abuse material. Merely possessing a zoophilia image or other obscene image (other than child... View More

You should report the copycat app via the Google reporting form at https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/contact/policy_violation_report?sjid=120013622250789082-NC.

That's a great idea! Amazon and other U.S. based platforms will apply U.S. law which includes the U.S. copyright period, which ls longer than in many other countries. For works created on or after January 1, 1978, copyright lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years. If it's a work... View More

That's a great question, and I think that you should be on pretty safe ground because your use is transformative: it is designed to shine a light into your partner's creative process, which is quite different from the original purposes for which the reference images were created. I would... View More

No, there is no legal liability on you for viewing leaked OnlyFans content. The only exception would be if the model was underage, but since OnlyFans checks IDs of its performers, this is unlikely.

A trademark covers a specific type of good or service, so registering "Buzzle" for a game and "Buzzle" for a pizza shop would probably not be an infringement. But when you have multiple digital games all called "Buzzle", there is more obvious scope for infringement.... View More

I'm very sorry that this happened to you. No, it is not legal for him to post these private videos of you, and depending on where you are both located, it might also be a criminal offense. Other than by contacting him to alert him that you might take legal action, there is no simple solution... View More

It would be useful to know a bit more about the case. For now, let me assume that you are accused of reproducing copyright material, and that the DMCA judgment will order you to take it down. As you mentioned, if they lack identification details or an address for you, enforcing the judgment may be... View More

This sounds like an archetypal example of fair use. But that doesn’t mean that you may not receive a copyright claim.

You may have more rights depending on where you live. If you live in California, the UK, or the European Union, you can request removal of your personal information. Additionally, even if you live elsewhere, if you were under 13 at the time then you may be able to get the content removed under... View More

Great question!
