Being sued for copyright infringment? Attorney?
Guys im being sued for copyright infringement by thompson. I bought a scanned pdf copy of a book online a year ago from some website that sold student textbooks I had this file sitting in my computer and decided to sell it on ebay last week beacause I didn’t need it anymore. Ebay noticed it was a pdf copy and must have reported me to the publisher. Now the the publisher is threating to sue me if I dont provide them with the sale document with the price it was sold for. They said once I provide the information relating to the sale they then will consider for a settlement offer if they agree that’s the route to go since it probably would not be worth going to court over this small sale. But what if their settlement offer is to high?. All this for a 20 Dollar sale and Im a fulltime student that does not work. I don’t know what to do and I cant afford an attorney and I already wrote them a letter apologizing but they still want me to repay them that money I made (20 bucks) which is not a problem for me and once that is done then they will make a settlement offer. What kind of money do you guys thinks they will want in damages or for settlement? Or for infringement laws browken? Would it even be worth getting an attorney for this? What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.
I think I just got scammed on half.com?
I bought a textook on half.com and a little over a week later, the seller contacted me and said he had never placed the textbook up for sale. He said he would contact ebay, but never mentioned anything about a refund. I told him to refund me my money, but I haven’t heard anything back from him yet. I contacted ebay myself. Will I get my 93 dollars back?
Yes, I did use paypal.
can somebody help me with my MATH please!?

How to go about selling an item on craigslist?
I posted an item for sale — a textbook– on craigslist and someone e-mailed me asking for my full name and address so that person could come pick it up and they will send me a money order or a check.
I live in NYC and I only bought an item through craigslist once: I met the women at her nearest train station and she gave me the item, I gave her the money in cash. Wouldn’t that be easier?
I never sold something before though. Can I tell the person, cash only? I don’t want to seem rude.

Spanish homework, please help me correct a few sentences?
I need to make 10 flash cards. 5 of the flash cards will have to do with verbs, the other half with nouns.
Here are the directions for the nouns: If the original noun in the textbook is singular, write the plural form. So I am asked to write a complete and descriptive sentence in spanish using the noun in a meaningful context. I am also supposed to use at least 2 adjectives to describe the noun. Keep in mind I can not use words outside of my chapter vocabulary, so spanish speakers, do not add anything I did not use, only correct and add grammar.
1. Los inodoros es de (put here any store that sales “toilets”) y es muy caro y feo.
2. Los fregaderos es de (put any store that sails “refrigerators”) y es grande y bonito.
3. Mi apartemento (I want to say “building”) tiene muchos lavadoras en (I want to say “laundromat”). (I want to say “they”) son pequena y ellas son (I want to say “loud”).
4. Yo tengo tres televisors en mi apartamento. Ellos son grande y bonito.
5. Hay dos duchas en mi apartamento, las duchas son pequena y bonita.
Here are the directions for the verbs: Write a complete and descriptive sentence in spanish that uses any conjugated form of the verb in present tense. I also have to write a complete and descriptive in spanish that uses any conjugated form of the verb in the preterite tense.
1. Present: Hoy me toca barrer el bano. Preterite: Mi hermana barrio el bano ayer.
2. Present: Yo tengo darlo de comer al perro antes de salir para escuela: Preterite: Isabella darlio de comer al perro antes de salir para escuela.
3. Present: Tengo que organizarla mi habitacion pero es feo. Preterite: Lola organizo la habitacion.
4. Present: Yo rego las plantas porque (I want to say “they are dry”). Preterite: Sofia rego las plantas (I want to say “they are dry”.
5. Present: Yo vivo en un apartamento. Preterite: Ella vivo en un apartamenta pero ahora ella vivo en una casa.
Just re-write the 10 sentences (check for grammar, spelling, accent marks (if you can), etc.) for me and if you have the time explain to me why it doesn’t go this way, etc. Thank you.
Company idea!! In my one marketing class, we have to pick a company and research on it. What are good ideas?
Here is the criteria he gave us:
•Basic company overview (half a page, main locations, employee #’s, net sales, etc.)
•What “market” are they competing?
•Who are their main competitors (think inside and outside the box/marketing myopia)?
•Who are their main customers (B2B, retail consumers, end-users, etc.)?
•What is their core competency?
•What is their apparent marketing strategy (you may find this via articles or annual reports online, etc, but you should be able to think it through and give some insight, i.e. use the key strategy notes from lecture and the textbook chapters)?
•DESIGN AN NEW MARKETING STRATEGY AS YOU WOULD AS AN OUTSIDE CONSULTANT FOR AN EXECUTIVE TEAM OVERVIEW (EITHER REDESIGN A FAILING ONE OR BUILD-UPON AN EXISTING ONE, but you don’t need to actually execute promotions, just design or redesign the strategy)
•What are some of the long-term environmental factors (and I don’t necessarily mean that in a pollution, greenhouse effect sort of way) that have a role in the company’s outlook?
•Where or how can their business/company evolve to meet the changes on the horizon?
•Anything we’ve covered in class/textbook that you’ve discovered via your research that the class and I will find interesting.
I was thinking like DC Shoes or maybe Juicy Couture or even Apple. But IDK. Thanks!!!!

I really hate the professor in one of my graduate class, i wonder if i should suck it up, or drop him..?
So this is my first semester in gradschool, everything is new, i dont even know what im suppose to study on. There are no exams, but all projects and readings. On top of that, im 23, everyone is about 30 and in the prime of their careers, so talk about being intimidated. Now, i dont know if i like the professor, he acts like a dickhead up there. He said it himself, he is not an ACADEMIC but a CONSULTANT. I dont know…. he just doesnt feel like a professor, more like a sales man. On my other class, the professor was great, so I thinking its probably not adjustment on my part. So im wondering if I should risk my GPA and suck it up.. or drop him and find another class. I cant believe the college hires professors that doesnt have real people skills… Brains are good, but you need to personality to deliver it… He is like a walking textbook to me.
