For example, most authors of novels have a day job. Isn't there an intellectual copyright law though that says the employer owns anything the employee comes up with? Are there exceptions?

Would it be considered copyright/intellectual property infringement if a job was posted on a website and being reposted onto another website from the website it was originally posted on? Any direct link to a governmental clause or from any legitimate source will be really helpful. I really appreciate the help! Thanx a bunch.

The wwe zealously protects their Intellectual Property copyrights as well as media copyrights. In some cases the characters are completely created by wwe including attire, catchphrases and names. Obviously those qualify for Intellectual Property rights. However, how and why can they hold the same rights on characters that were created or at least developed by the wrestler himself? To my knowledge management may give them ideas or command them to perform a gimmick but for the most part the identifying characteristics are created by the talent such as attire etc..Wrestlers are independent contractors and have to pay for their own gear from what I heard. They think of most of the catchphrases or use finishing moves they had used for years before going to wwe...Why and how does wwe have rights to those parts the wrestler created? I never understood the "Intellectual Property" rights at all anyway..How someone can have rights to an intangible thing is beyond me. To me that leaves a tremendous area of gray to what could, would, or will fall into that category..To me it sounds vague and they could use it to apply to anything.

Hi, I created a website and a product is sold on that website. I never copyrighted the product or website. However, someone decided to clone both the website and product. Would this be grounds for an intellectual property violation? Can I still get this guy shut down for this? I know this has to be illegal somehow! What argument can I use to get rid of him? Thanks. I am also able to prove that my website came before his. (My registration date came first)

Hi guys, I'm curious as to what extent that people can create websites. I understand that for domain names oen is safe from copyright laws for as long as the site never claims that they are affiliated to the original owner. But what about intellectual properties and trademarks? Does this site break any of those: http://www.familyguyquotes.com/ A reference on your idea would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
