Do you allow the posting of content created by third parties on your website (e.g. videos, audio files, or even written comments)? Do you run any on-line service where you collect information provided by third parties (whether that be a dating service, auction site or other classified service)? If you do, you probably know that you are safe from copyright claims for infringing content that is posted by those who are not your employees or agents if you follow certain steps.

Putting TV or cable programming onto the Internet may soon not be as easy as it once was, as the FCC has just issued its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on the captioning requirements for online video. The proposals advanced by the Commission are summarized in our firm's Advisory on the subject, here. These rules are proposed pursuant to a Congressional mandate that requires captioning of television programming that has already been captioned pursuant to an FCC rule, when that programming is later

The proposed rules , summarized here , would modify the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule enacted by the FTC to enforce the Children's Online Privacy
The FCC today announced that it is extending the deadline for participants to comply with the new EAS CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) rules until June 30, 2012. The deadline had previously been set for just two weeks from now, September 30th; however, in light of the fact that the FCC had yet to finalize all of the new EAS CAP rules, it decided to extend the deadline until next June.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the legal industry, and paralegals are at the forefront of this transformation. As AI becomes more integrated into legal workflows, paralegals can streamline their daily tasks, enhance efficiency, and add greater value to their firms and organizations. But what exactly does AI mean for paralegals today—and how can you leverage it to your advantage?
A fine issued to a low power FM station today makes one wonder "what were they thinking?" The decision cites a situation where interference was reported by an FAA Control center. That interference was tracked down by the FCC, though radio direction finding equipment, to an LPFM station. When the FCC inspectors arrived at the station to inspect the transmitter, the person on duty at the station, and then the "owner", both refused to allow the inspection and refused to turn off
The FCC today announced the public testing of a new TV White Spaces database system. Starting on September 19, 2011, the FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology will open a 45-day window to allow the public to try out the TV Band Database developed by one of the potential TV White Spaces database managers. If approved, the Database will be used by white space devices to find available frequencies and avoid interfering with authorized services and registered facilities.
Looking for opportunities for a new FM station? The FCC has just released a list of new FM channels to be auctioned in the next FM auction , scheduled to begin on March 27, 2012, along with the proposed rules for that auction. On the list of channels , the proposed minimum bid for each channel is also set out. If the Commission follows the schedule used in prior auctions, we should expect that the deadline for the "short-form" application to participate in the auction (which basically
Currently, obtaining paralegal certification is not a mandatory requirement; in fact, for most states (California is the only exception to this rule), the paralegal field is not required to be regulated at all. However, many paralegals choose to be self-regulating, following standards and codes of ethics of local or national paralegal associations.
Modern trial practice has evolved beyond basic organization. With technology reshaping courtrooms and attorneys expecting more than ever, paralegals need to elevate their capabilities while mastering the fundamentals of trial excellence. This comprehensive guide from Steno, built from author Joe Stephens' real-world experience as both a practicing attorney and law professor, provides a blueprint for delivering exceptional trial support in today's complex legal environment.
Most of us think that legal assistants and paralegals are the same but actually there is a difference between the two. Although a Paralegal may also be known as a Legal Assistant, in some geographical areas, there is a difference between the two.
When an FCC licensee goes bankrupt, the question of how to treat the interests of secured lenders is the one that, from time to time, comes up for debate. Two recent cases deal with this issue – one appearing to be an aberration that would make lending to a broadcast licensee difficult if not impossible, while the second providing a more lender-friendly interpretation after a detailed analysis of the history of FCC and court precedent on this issue, affirming what most in the broadcast com
The FCC today made it easier to move an FM translator from one location to another , but at the same time adopted new policies that seemingly restrict how far a translator can be moved. Today's decision uses a waiver process to relax the rules so as to permit a move of a translator a greater distance in a single application, but the decision also labels multi-hop moves as an abuse of the Commission's processes.
Broadcasters, along with virtually every other business, are supposed to have a bulletin board someplace in their place of business, accessible to employees, where all sorts of notices, many required by Federal law, are posted. Sometimes the posting requirement has been expanded to include posting on a company intranet, if that is a common way of communicating with employees.

A paralegal is a professional who has received enough training to assist a lawyer. Although, it is important to note that paralegal does not mean the same thing in every nation. For example, in the US and Canada a paralegal assists a lawyer but is not qualified to give legal advice. The exception is in Ontario, Canada where paralegals are licensed to act independently of a lawyer.
