Who Owns Weblog Content?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the something-to-think-about dept.

dirvish writes "Information Week has a story discussing copyright issues and legal rights associated with employee blogs and RSS readers. Recently, some companies have come out with formal weblog policies and others have fired employees for inappropriate blogging. With an increase in official company blogs, and some large companies like Microsoft and Google offering popular blogging services, the issues become even more clouded. Some bloggers are beginning to speak out about corporate and government control, others would probably prefer to not risk their jobs."

  1. Will I have to buy all my son's movies again? by borwells · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    My spoiled son has a huge collection of DVD movies. He also has a sizeable collection of VHS movies that he takes to Grandma's when I'm out of town. And another collection of movies for his VideoNow POS movie player.

    Am I going to have to buy all of these again so he can watch them on the new PSP? Or is Sony going to give me some way to rip them and write them to UMD?
