apply for online tax, you're allowed about 7 days after applying to use it on the road
What car??
Thanks for the quick reply.

yup can do BUT that would rely on the car being on the insurance database
is it a private sale? do you know if they are still insured?
It's private yeah. I am not sure if i'm honest, the reg plate isn't shown on the ad so I can't do a MID check either!
I'd rather not say what car because all it is going to do is cause trouble from my experience on here before!
Good point. One min, will go ask Father
also even when you go to look
with a decent phone you can check the MOT history

handy for looking at fails and advisories
when i got my last car it has passed but a couple of advisories allowed tme to fix what could have been big problems in 12 months
Will then be sent to current registered keeper won't it?
Okay, so I went and hung out with a few people for a while earlier. I was wearing a band t-shirt I bought at a music festival and on the back it has (in rather large lettering, I admit) the words: F**k you from Florida.
We were in McDonalds for ice cream and a cop approached me, said the manager had just pointed my shirt out to him and that it was an actual offence to display obscene or vulgar terms IF someone were to make an official complaint.
Now, I don't like being a smart arse to cops because last time I was (despite being right), well I didn't come off best. So I just took it on the chin and said we'd leave when we had our food.
Question is, what is the offence for displaying vulgar words/phrases. And is it a criminal or civil matter (I'm guessing criminal since he said something about being arrested). For anyone who says 'free speech', well no because I can't remember the exact terms of it but free speech doesn't cover things like that.

I think 'freedom of expression' is more applicable than 'free speech', but am sure Aus rules differ to UK rules ...
okay copyrights and piracy
how does it work if for example you already own a film on DVD,then download a copy in HD?
same film but in a different quality

That's a good one. I guess it depends on what the copyright owner is actually entitled to - just the film as a whole, or across all formats.
I had a quick flip through my law textbook - basically as the owner of the DVD you're the owner of the copyrighted material, so based on that the answer to your question is that downloading a different quality (SD or HD) or version (i.e. extended or uncut) constitutes a copyright infringement.

I would say it's breaking the copyright, as I am assuming the DVD with be out in Blue Ray which is a HD format which you only own the SD format...
thats what i wondered,i thought it would be but i could see how someone could argue otherwise
you know whern people talk about music its just a file,nobody really thinks of the quality
however on video there are now many different levels

Well if you wanted to be really fussy reguarding music I suppose they could say a CD is a lossless format, whereas a MP3 is a lossy format, so owning a MP3 is illegal technically, but owning a flac file wouldn't be...
But who cares seeing as our age old Copyright laws say even converting a CD into a digtal file format is illegal!
Oh and another point about your DVD thingy, it would probably have copy protection on it, and so would the HD format, that means by having it uploaded to the internet, someone has broken a law there by breaking the protection. Bet you forgot that one!

dont forget about digital copies released with hard copies
the uploading is a separate issue though,im talking about owning a digital copy along with a hard copy of the film
if i own a punto and a newer updated version comes out can i just go to dealer and take one as i already own a punto?
if you dont get caught?
however the 'new' punto isnt the same car
it has different components
in the main a film contains the same actors,storyline etc and hasnt been refilmed to become HD
