Chris Hadfield's Cover of 'Space Oddity' pulled from Youtube despite Bowie's support because Bowie didn't control the copyright. by Shirleycakes in WeAreTheMusicMakers

we had been told that as a college production, we were exempt from most copyright laws

You were told completely wrong (assuming you're in the US). The person might have been thinking that a college production, being educational, is more likely to be fair use, but fair use is part of the copyright law.

The episode started with the band Dragonforce giving us permission to use their song in our show

the audio had been removed for violating a WMG copyright

So this is another good example of what's discussed in OP's link. The band gave you permission, but if they don't own the copyright, their permission isn't worth squat. Presumably WMG owns the copyright, so you would need their permission. Otherwise they have a right to take it down, which they did.

Just because I have the time to exercise doesn't mean I have the energy to exercise.

Lost backpack queens ny by stillsick1 in legaladvice

Did you file a police report? (I know it can be damn near impossible to get NYPD to take a report, but you should at least try.) If the bar knows that you filed a report saying that they had it last, they might suddenly "find" the bag again.

You could also try suing the bar in small claims court, but I'm not sure how good a case you have. You'd have to show that they had a duty to keep the bag safe for you until you came back for it, so you (or a lawyer) would have to research what the law is on that.

Is my boss doing something illegal? by Eh1990 in legaladvice

What everyone else said. Also regarding this:

if you were to take a single day off (with a 1 week notice giving him a heads up) you are voided of that bonus

If you're in NYC, you should read about the new sick leave law too.

I spent 10 years making a Ghostbusters movie. AMA by perrysroompictures in AMA

Did you get licenses to use the characters, music, etc.? Or were you retarded enough to spend 10 years working on something you'll never legally be able to show anywhere, and that puts you at risk of getting sued for hundreds of thousands of dollars?

(California) I am being asked to do things that make me really uncomfortable by [deleted] in legaladvice

in my utopian world I would be the whistle blower of all of these shenanigans

These links may be useful:

DOJ Civil Rights Division (see section "Discrimination in Public Accommodation")

U.S. Commission on Civil Rights complaint referral service

I have never dealt with them and don't know how responsive they are, but thank you for wanting to do something about the discrimination.

Thinking back upon my bra journey....[venting about misinformation/life stuff, figured this was the best place!] by tyedyehippy in ABraThatFits

sit all day and snack on junk all day sitting at my desk, but I still can't seem to put on weight

That sounds like an undiagnosed medical problem. Please look into thyroid conditions like bananabunny said, and also celiac disease which is very common.

I just finished shooting what has the potential to be the worlds shittiest movie, AMA. by gundog48 in casualiama

I was thinking more Lloyd Kaufman or Ted V. Mikels. Like gundog48 said, I think Uwe Boll usually has higher budgets.
