>What's the difference between a trademark and a copyright?

>(answer below)

>

>===========================================================

>CYBER-DETECTIVE is an amazing new tool that allows you to

>find out EVERYTHING you ever wanted to know about your friends,

>family, neighbors, employees, even your boss! Do background

>checks, get criminal records, locate missing family members,

>get a copy of your FBI file and you can do it all in the

>privacy of your own home.

>===========================================================

>

>The Answer:

>

>A trademark is a distinctive symbol or words that identify a

>product. Once registered it protects the owner from unfair

>competition as long as the trademark remains in use. For

>example, if the menu says " Coke " but it's " Pepsi " they pour,

>Coke will surely hand the matter to Spofford, Whipple,

>Snodgrass and Snoot for legal action.

>

>A copyright protects the original creation of a writer or

>artist for a limitedtime - in the U.S. it's currently for the

>creator's lifetime plus 50 years. But what constitutes

>copyright infringement? For instance, how much can you quote

>from a novel and under what circumstances before quoting

>becomes stealing?

>

>In other words, copyrights leave more room for

>interpretation. And that means more frequent need for lawyers

>at $400 per billable hour. There's your real difference!

>FAST FACTS:

>Americans worry about a big national debt and a government

>bureaucracy that never seems to stop growing.

>

>In 1801 President Jefferson worried about the same

>things. After all, the number of government employees had

>grown to 130 and the debt had ballooned to all of $17

>million, an amount equal to the hourly interest on the debt

>in recent times.

>

> Today in Washington more people spend more money than

>that on a typical federal agency Christmas party.

>Today's MailBits.com Trivia Question:

>

>What is a pixel and what can it do for you?

>(answer below)

>

>================================================================

>DID YOU KNOW that the Democratic Party only needs 6 seats to take back

>the House of Representatives and only 5 Seats to take back the Senate?

>Want to help us? We are the ONLY political group in America that

>solely supports progressive non-incumbent Democrats running for

>Congress. Please visit us at: http://mailbits.net/ad/iaction.asp

>================================================================

>

>The Answer:

>

>Pixels should not be confused with the imaginary, elf- or

>fairy-like creature in children's stories, such as Pan.

>Pixies can only get you into trouble.

>

>On the other hand, to paraphrase an old song, pixels can

>light up your life--and in fact they already do if you use a

>computer. The word is a combination of " picture " and

> " element. " Pixels are the smallest picture elements on your

>computer screen. They are the thousands of dots that,

>combined, bring you the image of a spreadsheet, the text of

>your report, or the message that you have caused the machine

>to make a fatal error.

>

>On laptop screens a defective pixel may cause a permanently

>off-color spot. If you experience this, either return the

>computer or make that misbehaving pixel stand in the corner.

>Dot's all I have to say about dot.

>FAST FACTS:

>

>The Duke of Windsor, who gave up the throne of England to

>marry the woman he loved, was quite a playboy when he was

>young. On one trip to the U.S. in the 1920s, during

>Prohibition, he even got caught in a speakeasy during a raid.

>

>Fortunately for him the nightclub's hostess kept him out of

>the papers. She pushed him into the kitchen, hid him under a

>chef's hat, and gave him some eggs to fry.

>

>Had he not abdicated as VIII, the symbols of his reign

>would have been crown, scepter, and skillet.
