Silent No More About Con Artist Perry Belcher
It's been more than a year since convicted Internet marketer Perry Belcher's shenanigans have been written about on this blog. In fact, it was out of sight, out of mind until one of Belcher's fan club decided to threaten me today.

Can you copy online photos?
As an Internet lawyer, I’ve noticed that many website owners mistakenly assume that if you find a photo you like on someone’s website or blog, you can copy it and put it on your own website.
In most cases, re-using a photo without written permission to do so (typically a license) violates copyright law.
And just because a photo is on someone’s website doesn’t mean they own it. That p

Bad dye jobs and repackaged butchering
Shady grocery store butchers will take hamburger that’s old, put some new red dye in it, and shove it back on the shelves with a different expiration date.
Every 4 to 6 months, shady Internet sellers will take an old product, slap a new name (or version on it) to pretend something has changed, and re-launch the product with a short deadline to get it. These product launches are their system f

Do Not Track Me Online Act of 2011: Jackie Speier
Firing another shot in the do-not-track Internet privacy battle, Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA) introduced the Do Not Track Me Online Act of 2011. The decision by Microsoft, Mozilla, and Google to add do-not-track options to their respective Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome web browsers was never going to be enough for Congress.

Alliance for Main Street Fairness: Internet Tax Lobby
Who could possibly be against an alliance for main street fairness? You should be in this case because “fairness” to this DC-based lobbying group means that you pay more taxes.
The Alliance for Main Street Fairness starts off from the faulty logic that the government should loot more money from online business transactions in order to be “fair” to those selling in brick-and-mortar store

Facebook Privacy Invades Your Dating Life
As an Internet attorney that follows online privacy issues, Facebook continues to concern me. Here’s another example of why there are privacy issues with this social media site.
There’s a new dating site created by stealing 250,000 Facebook user profiles. In other words, your profile could be listed on a dating website without your consent.

Should you put your blog on the Amazon Kindle?
As an Internet attorney, I find it fascinating that Amazon’s Kindle provides an additional outlet for your blog readers. In fact, Amazon Kindle editions of books now outsell hard cover and paperback books on the site. In other words, there’s a huge Kindle audience.
