rental right

Read a random definition: anticipatory replication

A quick definition of rental right:

Rental Right: A rental right is a power given to the owner of a copyright to control the use of copies of their work beyond the first sale. This means that if someone wants to rent out copies of a movie or computer software for a fee, they need to get permission from the copyright owner. This right is recognized in Europe and under TRIPs.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Rental right is a copyright owner's power to control the use of copies of their work beyond the first sale. This control applies when the copy is offered to the public for temporary use for a fee or some other commercial advantage.

For example, a store that rents DVDs and videotapes must obtain rental rights from the copyright owner to legally rent out copies of their work. Similarly, a hotel that offers the loan of DVDs or videotapes must also obtain rental rights.

Rental rights are recognized among members of the European Commission and under TRIPs. The right also applies to the rental of computer software.

Overall, rental right is an important aspect of copyright law that allows creators to control the use of their work and receive compensation for its use.

i had to drop out of a grad program but i explained it in my gpa addendum bc it was the same underlying event causing both

i was also named in a civil lawsuit that got dismissed but only one school asked about it
windyMagician
19:41
sorry probably not helpful

idk what the situations are, but you absolutely should write about them if the school asks about them—the only time you should be asking *whether* to write one is when you're not sure whether your situation qualifies as what they're asking about
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
19:59
better question is usually *how* to write about them
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:00
I had to write about write

... write-ups at work (petty, and they were removed from my file after a year, but even so the app asked so I wrote)

20:05
Ah it cancelled out my msg cus I switched tabs. But I’ll just tell you guys cus I get mixed answers: a) accused of cheating on a calc exam freshman year but was cleared of wrongdoing, b) sent to the hospital senior year because I go too drunk
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:12
Seems like you'd need to write about A because it went through a formal process, but it shouldn't hurt you if you explain it straightforwardly and explain you were cleared (just don't be weirdly salty about it like you're holding a grudge)
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:12
Re B, did this involve school in any way? Is there an app that has a C&F question that you think this applies to?
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:13
Maybe you're not deep enough into the process to know this—each school has its own unique set of C&F questions, so you should disclose exactly what they ask about, no more, no less
NosyBeagle
20:14
OH
NosyBeagle
20:14
Ok why did I think it was just gonna be one type of q for all. My bad folks. Ignore my info dump
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
20:16
No worries! Frankly I think it's wild that applications have weird hidden quirks that you don't know about until you're actually logged into LSAC working through the app. There's some info you can find about the oddball/unique questions you'll find on specific apps, so you might want to look for that for schools you're going to apply to

Like on various consultants' blogs, reddit, etc

ima write my personal statement about being fired and how that made me want to do law but it would be funny if I also had to write an addendum about it
NemoPropheta

turns out defense companies don’t like it when you question the war machine 🙏

I wrote optional essays about a situation that affected my undergrad performance. For any school that required an "education gap addendum" I was basically like "pls see my optional essay"

did they accept that?
NosyBeagle
21:12
that reminds me of filling out job apps and they want you to type out your resume in a text box. like huh??? open the pdf, idiots
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
21:18
I mean I was nicer about it—I'd put a couple of sentences explaining it super lo-res, and then I said something like "I speak to this situation in detail in my optional essay."
ParallelAgreeableOrangutan
21:20
They don't send your application back to you and tell you to redo an addendum if they don't like it, so the only way to know whether they "accepted" it, as it were, is admissions results
