Q. "Can I sell T-shirts with images of President Donald Trump in the U.S.? Will it violate any regulations?"

August 10, 2024

A: Selling T-shirts with images of President Donald Trump in the U.S. involves several legal considerations, primarily related to trademark and copyright law. Here are some important points to consider:

1. **Public Figures and First Amendment Rights**: In the U.S., using images of public figures, including elected officials like President Trump, is generally protected under the First Amendment. You can create and sell merchandise featuring his likeness, provided you are not infringing on any copyrights or trademarks.

2. **Copyright Issues**: If you are using a photograph or artwork of President Trump that is copyrighted (for example, a professional photo), you would need to obtain permission from the copyright holder to use that image on your T-shirts. However, if you create your own original artwork or use an image that is in the public domain, you should be in the clear.

3. **Trademark Considerations**: President Trump’s name and likeness may be subject to trademark protections, depending on how they are used. If you are using his likeness in a way that implies endorsement or affiliation with your product, you could face legal issues. Always avoid suggesting that your product is officially endorsed by him.

4. **Commercial Use**: If your T-shirts are being sold for commercial purposes, you need to be especially cautious about any implications of endorsement or affiliation. Consider how the images and text are used together.

5. **State Laws**: Be aware that some states have specific laws regarding the commercial use of a person's likeness, known as "right of publicity" laws. These laws can vary significantly by state, so it’s important to research your specific state’s regulations.

6. **Consult a Legal Professional**: Given the complexities of intellectual property law, it may be prudent to consult with a lawyer who specializes in copyright and trademark law before proceeding with your T-shirt sales. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific situation.

In summary, you can sell T-shirts with images of President Donald Trump, but you must ensure that you are not infringing on any copyrights or trademarks and that your use complies with applicable laws. ... Read More

Q. If I have a broken heel and can’t walk and someone approaches to physically assault can I pull a pistol and shoot them

August 10, 2024

A: In New York, the use of a firearm for self-defense is governed by specific laws. Here are some key points to consider:

1. **Self-Defense Laws**: New York law permits the use of reasonable force to protect oneself from imminent harm. However, the use of deadly force (such as shooting someone) is only justified if you reasonably believe that you are in imminent danger of death or serious physical injury.

2. **Duty to Retreat**: New York has a "duty to retreat" law, which means that if you can safely retreat from a situation where you might be harmed, you are obligated to do so before using deadly force. The only exception to this is when you are in your own home (the "Castle Doctrine").

3. **Reasonable Belief**: You must have a reasonable belief that you are in imminent danger. If you are unable to walk due to a broken heel, your ability to escape or retreat may be considered in assessing your situation, but it does not automatically justify the use of a firearm.

4. **Consequences**: Discharging a firearm, especially in a public place, can lead to serious legal consequences, including criminal charges, regardless of the circumstances. It is important to understand that the legal system will closely examine the specifics of the incident.

5. **Non-Lethal Options**: If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, consider non-lethal means of self-defense, such as pepper spray or personal alarms, which can be effective without the legal complications of using a firearm.

Given the complexities of self-defense laws, it is crucial to seek legal advice if you have questions about your rights and responsibilities in a self-defense situation. If you ever find yourself in immediate danger, contacting law enforcement is always the best course of action. ... Read More

Q. We just rented a home in Oswego, NY. It has been verified to have mold in the basement by a 3rd party lab. What do we do

August 10, 2024

A: Dealing with mold in your rented home can be concerning. Here are the steps you should take:

1. **Notify Your Landlord**: Inform your landlord or property management company immediately about the mold issue. Provide them with the report from the third-party lab as evidence.

2. **Document Everything**: Keep a record of all communications with your landlord regarding the mold issue. Take photos of the affected areas and any visible mold.

3. **Understand Your Rights**: Familiarize yourself with local tenant laws regarding mold and rental properties. In many areas, landlords are required to maintain a safe and habitable environment, which includes addressing mold issues.

4. **Request Remediation**: Ask your landlord to arrange for professional mold remediation. Mold can be hazardous to health, and it’s important that it is removed safely and effectively.

5. **Consider Temporary Relocation**: If the mold issue is extensive or poses an immediate health risk, you may need to consider temporary relocation until the problem is resolved. Discuss this with your landlord.

6. **Health Precautions**: If you or anyone in your household is experiencing health issues related to mold exposure (such as respiratory problems), seek medical attention. Avoid spending time in the affected areas until they have been properly remediated.

7. **Consult Local Health or Housing Authorities**: If your landlord is unresponsive or unwilling to address the issue, you may need to contact local health or housing authorities for guidance on how to proceed.

8. **Consider Legal Advice**: If the situation is not resolved and you feel your health or safety is at risk, you may want to seek legal advice regarding your rights as a tenant.

9. **Prevent Future Mold Growth**: Once the mold is removed, take steps to prevent future growth by ensuring proper ventilation, controlling humidity levels, and addressing any water leaks or moisture issues promptly.

It's important to address mold issues swiftly, as they can pose serious health risks.
