Who Owns Weblog Content?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday February 3, 2005 @05:39AM 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."

I'll save you some time by reading you a section from your employment agreement: "We can fire you any time we want for any reason or no reason. If you don't like it complain to the Bush Administration."

Thank you, that will be all.

I wouldn't go that far. However everything I blog would first get run by (and sanitized by) marketing/management before it was published.
