    Thinking of suing someone? Think again, New federal law.

    Class Action Fairness Law signed today.

    ANY amount over $10,000 must be handled by a federal court.

    90 Day waiting period meaning you sue someone, they have 90 days to prepare their case.

    You MUST sue the person in THEIR own domain (IE: their home town, county, state)

    Trial Lawyers do not get high fees anymore, the JUDGE tells them what they may charge per CASE.

    JUDGES decide the actual amount of the award and they are allowed to throw out anything.

    Bush gave an example, a lady sued a grocery store over a coupon for $0.50.
    The judge awarded her $0.50 because that's all it was worth.

    So someone steals an image set from you, the judge looks at the pictures and if THAT judge thinks the pictures are only worth $50.00 thats what your getting.

    Read about it on Cnn.

                      It was actually good untill Bush added all kinds of crap to it, it looks nothing like it did when he first got it.

                              Wrong.

                              Federal Copyright Law specifically awards a MINIMUM of $750.00 per image per occurance of the violation.


                              If you are going to use an example....Perhaps you should have some knowledge of the laws that govern the example.

                                  Heh, someone violates federal copyright law, you SUE them.

                                  This law takes precedence.

                                  Considering CNN just aired Bush signing it into law and READING it word for word, I'd say thats pretty good qualifications Mr. Arron M Esquire.

                                                                                  For those who do not understand the difference....A class action suit is where MULTIPLE parties file suit against the same defendant for the same reason. (This is a basic example....Not textbook.)

But if fewer than one-third of the plaintiffs are from the same state as the primary defendant, and more than $5 million is at stake, the case would go to federal court.
