Yes, its illegal. Sometimes a company puts out a piece of software they make it free for personal use and businesses must pay a licensing fee. Its worth it for you to simply purchase the software and support the business that distributes it out so they can continue to put out more great software.

See a lawyer.\n\nIf you can prove that your business used the phrase, then it's yours, especially since his is the same line.  I would go ahead and trademark it NOW.  Since you had first use of it, he's going to violating your trademark.  \n\nIf he doesn't cease, gather together any physical evidence--letterhead, business cards, receipts, etc.--and take him to court.  (The mailing yourself an envelope thing doesn't count, really.)\n\nHere's a reference site:\n\nhttp://www.unc.edu/~unclng/TRDREGIS.htm

It's not so much inherently illegal as it may be fraudulent business practices as applied.\n\nYour state attorney general is one option. The Federal Trade Commission is another. Outside the US, seek similar authorities.

It's legal for a business to record anything in the office, video or audio. With the exception of the bathroom, and even then they might be able to get away with it. \n\nIt isn't however, advisable for you to carry your own recording device into the office.

Not as long as you state that it's simply for entertainment, you don't own the characters (list them if you made your own) and that you aren't making any money off it. It's considered 'fair use.'

Newsgrounds has to accept all liability when they have control of an item. In your case you are talking about an item that originated from Nintendo corporation. It's copywrite or can be interpreted as "trade dress" which means it's part of or even looks like Nintendo proprietary material.\n\n9 times out 10 it's all frivolous but who would lock horns with Nintendo and then find out it is really the tenth. \n\nIf Newsgrounds has been tied up in a "takedown" or litigation they might be very suspicious of anything and could easily be running a zero tolerance policy. Yes it's a pain in the rear but that's because it's also a pain in the rear for Newsground as well.\n\nEmail to them and apologize you were unaware of the sensitivity of the material, there's a good chance they might reinstate your privileges or you might have to serve out a period of time before reinstatement.\n\nOK to stop it happening again, stay away from anything that has a name or any similarity to commercial material. It's a pain when that's where the interest is but good exercise if your into music to get a bit of music generating software and create your own sequencing and music from scratch to substitute for commercial material. Then give it a name like PVT1 so it can't be construed as even a copywrite name.

Downloading is only legal if what your downloading is downloaded with the creators permission. Computer software listed as Shareware, freeware, or open source is normally legal to download. Hundreds of sites have this including www.shareware.com and many others. \n\nCompanys often also will give free versions of thier software for 'trial' purposes. Other companies will allow you to download thier software in full and expect you to purchase a regestration code to use it fully. \n\nNote - if you are downloading software that normally costs money, you are probably being illegal wherever you download it from. It isnt the method thats the problem its the fact that you are stealing it. So if you want to keep clean and safe - look out for shareware, freeware and open source products. (eg open office may not be as good as micrisoft office but it is free)
