Blogging Legally

28 Jun 2007

In order to keep ourselves out of hot water, I have resorted to amassing a few handy resources. In case you are also contemplating risky journalism, I recommend you visit these links and make sure that you cover your bases.

EFF’s Legal Guide for Bloggers – This is a great resource, presented as a list of questions related to various topics. The guide is very easy to read and covers a wide variety of topics, including intellectual property law, defamation law, copyright law, and much more. If you only read one guide, I’d recommend reading this one. (via)

Legal Guide for Podcasters – while we are yet to enter the podcasting game, it has been discussed as a possible future addition. This guide could come in quite handy! (via)

Now go exercise your right to Freedom of Speech!
