Read a random definition: in promptu

A quick definition of Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act:

The Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) is a federal law that aims to prevent the production and sale of fake or counterfeit goods, such as fake designer bags or pirated movies. The law makes it illegal to sell or traffic counterfeit goods and provides for the seizure of such goods. It also imposes criminal liability for those who engage in counterfeiting and provides for enhanced civil penalties. The ACPA helps protect consumers from being tricked into buying fake products and helps ensure that creators of original works are properly compensated for their efforts.

A more thorough explanation:

The Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA) is a federal law that aims to prevent the counterfeiting of trademarks and copyrighted merchandise, such as computer programs, phonorecords, and motion pictures. The law makes it illegal to traffic in counterfeit goods and services, and provides for the seizure of such goods. It also imposes enhanced civil penalties for those who violate the law.

One example of the ACPA in action is when a company discovers that someone is selling counterfeit versions of their products. The company can take legal action under the ACPA to stop the sale of the counterfeit goods and seek damages from the seller.

Another example is when law enforcement officials seize a shipment of counterfeit goods at a port of entry. They can use the ACPA to prosecute those responsible for trafficking in the counterfeit goods.

These examples illustrate how the ACPA helps protect consumers from being deceived by counterfeit goods and helps businesses protect their intellectual property rights.

You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46

Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48

16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
