I mailed in the original along with 2 copies to get filed in the Riverside County of California Superior Court family law division. Those documents were rejected because all three copies didn’t contain original signatures. Yet, if I pay 100 bucks then they will accept them via fax which won’t have an original signature plus its only one copy.

How is faxing in a single document for 100 bucks any different than mailing in the original with two copies?

I understand not posting an e-mail address but what about an e-mail message?

Say I order an item online that is legal in my state and have it shipped to me. If in the mailing process, the package travels through a state where the item is illegal, can I get in trouble or can the package be confiscated? If so, why?

I run a personal, non-commercial blog (with some ads) on my own domain. I was solicited (by email) by a sales rep on behalf of Company X. In previous blog entries, I have spoken poorly of Company X specifically and Company X’s industry as a whole. The email contains only the correspondence and lacks any terms of use or disclaimers about reproducing the content. I have posted the original email and my response word-for-word (I have removed the sender’s last name, and altered the sender’s email address and phone number). It is my understanding that: (1) email is considered insecure and non-private by the vast majority of internet users, (2) it is common knowledge among average people that online communications are neither secure nor private, and (3) claims to privacy or usage restrictions against the recipient of an email are invalid and unenforceable. If relevant, this is in Pennsylvania. Thanks!

I’m part of a company that sells items and I just received an email from the person in charge saying not to sign up this one person because they are fraudulent and owe money. Then the email has the persons name (both used) social security number, address, birth date and license number. I know that this may be fraudulent info, but if some of it is correct can you actually send out a mass email with that kind of information?

This is a “political/technology law” kind of question.
Imagine if Barack was paying yahoo to send out a mass email to all of the users in yahoo’s directory. is that legal? isn’t that like some kind of privacy act thing? or what? if they could why haven’t they?

I got an email wanting me to claim relation to a dead Iraqi and to transfer 10.5 million out of the country. Sounds very shady to me. I need to know who to contact about this. Help me please.

I’m not planning this, as much as it’s crossed my mind because the ***** left me pregnant with two young kids and the thought of blackmailing him or just causing him embarrassment is pleasant. But couldn’t I get in trouble? What if I sent to from a public computer and used an email address I created just for the purpose of doing this. How would anyone know for sure I did it besides him?

I recently broke up with my girlfriend and now her new boyfriend keeps emailing me after i have told him to stop repeatedly. Is there any legal action i can take? Nothing he has said were any threats, its more of just a nuisance.
