What? you want a suggested story idea?\n\nokay, this guy Bill starts a company with a partner, Joe. Bill has 2 million dollars to hide and thinks he can funnel it to Joe's south carolina bank and no one will figure it out because Bill is not listed as an owner of the s.c. corporation & Bill lives in georgia.\n\nSo Bill rolls along collecting regular paychecks from Joe and a few bonus checks of $50,000 or so every 6 months. This goes on for say 10 years. But Joe is not stupid, Joe figures out it's stolen money and stops giving Bill his usual payoffs. Bill can't complain or call the cops because it IS stolen cash.\n\nBill tries to get it back from Joe but Joe spent it on a big fancy beach house for himself. Bill was so rattled he left the entire paper trail out where his wife could find it. She took the evidence of money laundering to the police. They laughed at her story and said it couldn't be true. She was hurt to be thought of as a liar.\n\nSo she called the FBI and they didn't believe her either. So Bill will never be caught. And Joe will keep the money and the beach house. \nAnd no one will EVER see the truth.\n\nThe End

That is illegal and could result in legal action being taken against you.  If you want to find serial etc. i highly recomend you do not use yahoo answers and would suggest that you might find a serial on torrent site like mininova.org, as crack and serial sites are extremly often infested with virus spyware and other bad things.

In general, a phrase that short probably is not copyrightable. It may be trademarked, which would protect it from being reused within the same commercial context (so you probably can't write a book, play or screenplay with that name). But, for instance, if you wanted to open a pet store with that name, you'd probably be ok.\n\nThis doesn't constitute legal advice, however. Before you do anything, consult an attorney.

I like www.ghosts.org/stories/n.html for ghost stories, it is a ohio page, but its got some good ones on it, and for crime stories(serial killers) try crimelibrary.com, for true ones that is, its very interesting atcually, they got all sorts of weird crime stories. including the amityville horror story, with orignal pictures of the house.

Yes, it's illegal, as a copyright violation. You cannot (legally) electronically duplicate anything that you do not own the copyright to.

You can't - it's still copyrighted, so such ebooks are illegal.  Unlike music, they arn't as popular on teh illegal filesharing front either.  You are going to have to go to the library, check it out, and read it that way.  Otherwise you ahve to pay (or get someone to buy it for you).

It's funny. I wrote a short story called Shadow People that hasn't been published yet. I've also written The Spotted Hyena and Devils Hole which were published at sffworld.com Sounds like you have enough imagination to be a very good horror writer.

As far as I'm aware, there's no law on the books in the United States for that kind of thing.. the only picture issues you might have are generally copywrite infringment

Since it is already licensed and selling in bookstores, it is illegal for any website to put up Azumanga for free on the internet.  You could just go into the bookstore to read it.  It's all four panel comics so there is no consistent storyline and you don't have to worry about cliffhangers. :)

Had a book called 'breaking the rules', haven't got it now. Look for it on line, a poem or two might be published on line.

I don't understand your question. If you are looking for stories about real crime, you could try http://www.courttv.com\nThey have excerpts from police interrogations and trial transcripts on many, many crimes.

Actually it is NOT illegal, as long as you do not sell or broadcast the copied material.  You can make as many copies as you want as long as it is for YOUR use.  Once that copy leaves your hands it becomes illegal.
