WHAT’S MINE IS NOT YOURS

Yesterday evening I went & had some dinner with some old friends of mine down on Upper Street in Islington. As always it was a little rowdy & we downed a few bottles of wine. So was feeling rather good.

After leaving the restaurant I headed over to the station. On entering I noticed this rather nice lady tapping away into her phone, & I thought, she’s quite nice & her red jeans are pretty cool. I proceeded to the platform.

Much to my annoyance there was a 30 minute wait or the next train, but then to counter that Miss Red Jeans comes over & sits next to me. What could I do, I had to start up a conversation.

Her name is Bianca & she is Italian, over here from Milan to do a summer course at LSE on Intellectual Property Law ( smart & beautiful ). So there we were talking about Intellectual Property.

It is a subject that I have always been interested in as it is so connected with the Birth & Continuing Saga of Streetwear & Design. My feeling is that today the likes of FUCT would not have been able to do what they did with the laws the way they are today. I mean look at what is happening to Shepard Fairey/OBEY & Associated Press over the Obama Hope image.

Regardless of this I wanted to know if the 40% law existed. When I was working at Gimme 5 back in the day, Nigo started a label before BAPE called 40%. The pretense of this was if you changed an image or someone else’s design by 40% you would not be liable for prosecution etc. We were making some great T-shirts with SuperModels & Movie images etc. Popping Graphics & slogans on them etc...& we sold a bunch load.

Well according to the lovely Bianca this law does not exist, well at least not today & not here. Perhaps in Japan...as she was not aware of Japanese Law.

But the idea of prosecuting under Intellectual Property is a not a new thing, but with the birth & growth of the web it has become a bigger Legal Problem as people Download Music for Free & Images that they can manipulate & use. Of course it will be hard to prosecute one & all, but their are a few who will pursue this avenue with Venom. Associated Press for one & Madonna. If memory serves well she was one of the 1st people to appoint a team of lawyers precisely for this purpose, & Bianca concurred : )

This seems to be a part of law that will effect creativity a lot in many ways, as people more & more re-edit what has come before. But on the flip side it also forces people to be more original & stretch their boundaries into pastures new. We are so inundated with rehashes of what has been before, i would be nice to see something new. Creatives taking some risks.

As you would expect the conversation dwindled on to subjects such as, ‘where do you live?’, ‘how long you here for?’ & ‘here take my details & give me a shout’

My main mission now is to find Bianca a good thing to go out to that represents what London Nightlife is about...apart from the side that she has seen...Chinawhite, Mahiki etc. Girlfriend is quite excited about seeing something London & Underground. Shame Work It was on this weekend gone as that would have been perfect. Any suggestions would be great as Bianca is leaving on Sunday morning.

Think I need to delve deep into the FB event pages on my Profile & find something for Bianca.

Be Well & think twice about taking that Intellectual Property & Playing with it...it is not as easy as it used to be.

Be Well.

One traditional definition of an intellectual property audit is “a cataloging of a organization’s intellectual property assets.” It is required for an organization to meet its due-diligence requirements for mergers, acquisitions, or other transfers. Today, organizations see an intellectual property audit not only as a balance sheet for intangible assets but also, more importantly, as a self-evaluation that the organization constantly and consistently engages in to determine the value of its own assets, determine how to best capitalize on those assets, and keep abreast of the changing values of its assets in the face of the ever-changing economic and legal ecosphere.hipotecas

When selling a condominum which has a property management company, is the property manager allowed to disclose any information to a potential buyer? Where could I find more information out about this? Specifically disclosing information which as not yet been distributed to current owners. Life Insurance Toronto

Purchasing this type of asset can incur other expenses when bought, sold or transferred so do not undercut what it is going to cost you. There are additional expenses to add to your list such as conveyance costs and transfer fees. There will also be a fee payable if you have to register a bond.

I am planning to rent out my house. I have made considerable renovations to the property. I was told that I could write these home improvements off when my house becomes a rental prop. What I am not clear on is whether I can write things off if I am working with a property management company or if I must manage the property myself.debt consolidation

As for susha’s comment that one’s is as good as another’s idea. Have you seen the crap they are hawking on the info-mercials? There have been some other pretty bad ideas in history that I don’t want any part of either. Some of the most recent ones might involve mass genocide, building levees with concrete toppers on unstable soil (Hurricane Katrina & New Orleans), and deep water oil drilling with no back up plan. I really don’t want my name associated with those, but that just might be me.

At any rate, before friends would come over for a playdate, but buddy would get her children to go into their rooms and pick some specified number of items that were too important to them to share with other kids. once they’d done that, they put them somewhere safe and the mom would say, ok now. we’ve taken care of the things that are important to you, everything else is ok to share. and kids (hers and mine) seemed satisfied with that.

Personal property loan can be beneficial at that time, when you are in need of a loan to accomplish few important tasks. Personal loan is a secured loan and it can be easily availed by pledging your immovable property like your home or land as collateral. This collateral acts as a security against the repayment of the loan.Green Deal Scheme
