Most people online perhaps own a blog.Some of them might not, but i believ they trying and want to own it like others. It’s like a medium for us to write almost anything without restriction, because we control our own blog.However, when i said without restriction, is it applicable?Sure, people do know blogging is all about expressing ourselves, but do you know that you’re held responsible for what you blog and get sued or sometimes facing the threat of being sentenced to spend years in jail?The solution is Blogging & Law conference 2009 held by e-lawyer.
Well, i bet we are not familiar with laws because we are not studying in laws.But that does not mean we have to igone it.This is what i found about it from Nuffnang blog.
- Is it against the law when I link to other blogs?
- What should I do if someone claims that I have infringed his or her copyrights?
- Do I have rights to ask someone to remove the link to my blog?
- Can I use pictures found in other websites or google images?
- If I found out others have defamed me in their blogs, what should I do?
