I am planning to start an IPTV service that provides links to third-party streaming content without hosting or streaming any content myself. The third-party company is located outside the U.S. and offers TV channels for viewing only, with no download capability. Customers will pay a monthly subscription to access this content through my website platform. What are the current laws concerning IPTV services, and what are the legal ramifications for selling access to TV streaming feeds from third parties?

My mother, who is an abusive alcoholic living in Wisconsin, has filed a Small Claims lawsuit against my partner and me in California. We cannot afford to travel to Wisconsin for the court proceedings due to financial constraints and work obligations. We have a hearing for a temporary restraining order set for February 15th, but it was not approved initially. How can we file a written answer for the Small Claims case in Wisconsin without physically traveling there? Is it possible to file the answer in California and mail it to the Wisconsin courthouse?

I am an international student living in a campus dorm in the USA. I installed a spray device in the shared bathroom 4 months ago and left for a 20-day winter break. Upon returning, I found repairs were needed due to water leakage, which the university's insurance company claims was caused by my device. They are seeking $40,000 in repairs and hold me responsible. As a non-citizen student with no insurance, no work authorization, and financial aid for education, I need to know my legal position and potential consequences. Can they sue me without a social security number, and what can they do if I have no assets or money to cover the amount? Will this affect my future visa petitions or my current status at the school?

I left my gun in a hotel in Georgia. The hotel called the police, who gave me a case number and asked if I intended to retrieve it. I am concerned that I might be walking into a trap or legal trouble. I am a TN resident and do not have a GA weapons license. The gun was in a holster with ammunition in the magazine but not in the chamber. What should I do?

A judge previously ruled on an objection in my case, but at a recent status conference, the opposing party brought up the same objection without any new circumstances, and I was not given a chance to respond. The same judge then made a new ruling based on this objection. What can I do to address this situation?
