Are there any lawyer types among us that might be willing to answer a
question or two for me? - off list of course!

Thanks

John...

If it's a simple question, perhaps a call to Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts
would do (http://www.vlany.org/legalservices/artlawline.php). They have a
hotline staffed by volunteers who help where they can, and refer where they
can't. I do agree with David, though; if it's a serious question, pay for =
a
serious lawyer. I have several, in different price ranges, and use the one
appropriate to the seriousness or complexity of the issue at hand.

Good luck.
