CONSUMER BUZZ
Senior Survival

By Raine Bee

 

I was amazed the other day when I heard about yet another misleading practice designed to take advantage of senior citizens.  We've heard about payday lending, where you typically go to a check casher or other alternative financial service provider for a short-term loan. The payday lender agrees to loan you the money and you agree to pay it back by your next paycheck, plus interest and fees.  By the time your next paycheck rolls around, you're unable to pay back the loan due to the exorbitant interest and fees added on.  So, the cycle continues whereby you take yet another loan, so forth and so on.

LEGAL BUZZ

Know Your Rights

By Andy Herz

 

The legendary New York-born soprano Maria Callas ("La Divina") once told an interviewer, "I don't need the money, dear. I work for art."

 

If only it were that easy for all of us.

 

As both a producer and intellectual property attorney, I and my clients frequently seek to thread the needle of creative fulfillment and commercial success.  This is the first in a series of Legal Buzz columns intended to offer some practical tips and perspectives on that challenge: how to protect your rights and profit from your art, without sacrificing your creative vision.

LAST WORDS OF THE MONTH
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
"
Among poor people, there's not any question about women being strong -- even stronger than men -- they work in the fields right along with the men. When your survival is at stake, you don't have these questions about yourself like middle-class women do."
