ok, I have read about half of it. Just my personal opinion on this, but keep the law makers out of it. The last thing we need is more laws. It just adds more costs and headacks to life.

Just my opinion, please consider that before telling me how wrong I am on it.

That is an EXCELLENT READ! You can actually make it a hyperlink if you wish, the writer certainly deserves it.

Now one important note to ALL readers - do not take any advice or posts regarding the law in that post as legal advice and if you have detailed questions contact a lawyer -

What the blog post does well, is play it safe and inform users of some best practices that I just plain think are great advice. Not stealing someone's contnet or taking credit for it, only using properly licensed or owned images etc

Everyone should read that entire post

Jim , We live in a great country however it is a country where a judge can bring up a lawsuit of 56 million against a dry cleaner for losing his pants. Though I agree with your opinion it is something you probaly should not ignore.

Thanks for the advice brandon, It was just that while reading it, I just kept seeing more laws and rules being writen by old men who don't know squat about anything related to blogging or the internet. It was not that I did not agree with much of what was said in the blog, it was more the tone that I was getting, or possibly it was the cold medicine.
