This was Mrs./Ms. Berschler's reply to my question on copyright and public domain books from the 19th century and from before that: "Just a thought to add to Mr. Watson's excellent answer to your question, and that is how do you intend to portray the books on the shelves appearing in the game and then how game players can access the books or portions of a book that a specific character may have read. There could be some intellectual property issues buried in the visual presentation which should also be explored. Good luck, it sounds like an interesting game concept."
First of all, thank you for the concern! On the portraying of the books, I am not only the game's writer, but also who shall draw and animate everything. So the covers are probably going to be generic hard covers with antique designs. You said you found the game concept interesting; if you are interested, it shall be called "Who Hides in the Dark".
Thank you for your follow up to my comment about your game's development. By the way, if you are thinking of using the name of the game as a trademark, you will want to be sure there are no prior takers. If it is just going to act as a title for the game, copyright does not protect titles. Good luck, sounds like fun.
My son was taken for a blood alcohol, possibly drug testing as well last night. Can he be cited in PA for DUI if he was only walking in an area with a friend, that was not in the same area as where he car was parked? Apparently his breathalyzer was .09, limit in PA is .08
Found out this morning that reason he was even approached was that about 30 minutes earlier he brushed a fence with the front of his car leaving a pizza place, before going to a hangout spot in the woods where he drank a couple of beers.
We are financially distressed, and he had a DUI 2 years ago, was in the ARD program.
Thank you for any insight you may have.
Civil Suit and Marriage
My girlfriend was involved in a car accident recently where someone in another vehicle died.
The family of the person who died is now threatening to sue all those involved. And it is my understanding under Nevada law that they have up to 3 years to bring a civil suit.
My question is:
If we were to get married in the next 3 years, would my savings/finances be in jeopardy as well as hers if a civil suit is brought against her after we get married?
What about if the civil suit is brought against her before we get married?
