Demystifying The H-2b Visa
Posted on December 4, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
It happens all the time these days. A contractor is awarded a large contract, but finds he doesn't have enough workers to perform the job. He advertises the position, asks around the community, always with the same result - no workers available. Finally, as a last resort, he considers importing qualified skilled workers from outside the United States, but everyone tells him it is legally impossible to import such workers. So he ends up violating the law by hiring undocumented workers, as a matter of survival. Something is wrong with this picture.

“Intellectual Property (IP) 101”
IP includes patents, trademarks, and copyrights. A patent provides an exclusive right to an invention. A trademark provides an exclusive right to an indication of source of a product. A copyright provides an exclusive right to an original work. A service mark provides an exclusive right to a service or origin of a service.
United States copyrights accrue automatically, but a work must be registered with the United States Copyright Office to perfect the federal copyright. Trademark rights can also accrue without a federal registration, but those rights are weaker, and a federal registration is preferred in almost all situations.

Hedge Fund Regulations Guide 101
Posted on November 25, 2008 - Filed Under Legal and Law | Leave a Comment
The popularity gained overtime and the ever-increasing crowd of investors in the Hedge Fund industry has augmented the need for higher degree of regulation in the hedge fund market.
Hedge funds are very similar to mutual funds except that there are fewer regulations on hedge funds. As a result hedge funds require a much larger investment. Hedge funds are very reticent, that is, they are private, between individuals, and do not have to be made known to the government or other companies. This allows hedge funds to be free from the regulations that mutual funds have to adhere to. Because of this large companies move undisclosed amounts of money and gain significantly without authorities noticing. This reticent nature of hedge funds makes them look suspicious and leads to many apprehensions in the minds of the investors, such as; these funds are unethical, speculative and risky. Also their high price tag and the extravagant amount of money required for their initial purchase makes people think that the investors are being hood winked into putting money into these funds. Only ensuring high levels of transparency in the working of the hedge fund industry so that an investor knows exactly where his money is going can clear these apprehensions.

Copyleft is a licensing system, were copyright law is used to enforce the removal of restrictions on distributing copies and modified versions of a work (including software works). In copyleft licenses such as the GPL, the owner of a copyright permits others to distribute their work (in either unmodified or modified form) but only provided the distributor (licensee) also allows others receiving the work to exercise the same freedoms. For this reason copyleft licenses are also sometimes known as "reciprocal licenses".
Copyleft licenses are also sometimes described to as "viral" on the basis that once a work is placed under a copyleft license, then additions to the work are also usually placed under the same copyleft license and so on. On the whole, the viral description tends to be frequently used by critics of copyleft licenses, whereas proponents generally point to the fact that derivative works can usually only be legally created with the copyright-holder's explicit permission for proprietary licensed software.
