12 Laws Every Blogger Needs to Know
An anonymous reader noted a nice piece discussing 12 laws bloggers need to know which includes explanations of matters including domain name trademarks, deep linking, fair use of thumbnails and so on. It's worth a read for most anyone who puts words on this here interweb.
One thing that has crossed my mind regarding "blogging" and such is where does one's privacy end? What a person saves to his or her computer should be their own business. After all a blog is often nothing more than a bunch of text files in a directory on an individual's private harddrive. If someone decides to produce disagreeable content and save it in their public_html directory, then that should be their own business. If third parties do not like it then perhaps they should not be snooping though the files on that person's harddrive?
