Blog law : 12 U.S. laws every blogger needs to know

Rich McIver recently emailed a link to 12 U.S. laws every blogger needs to know. I've been a little slow to get it up.

Excellent summary of the law and how to stay out of trouble in each of 12 areas of the law. Here's just a bulleted list of the 12.

  • Whether to Disclose Paid Posts
  • Is Deep Linking Legal
  • The Legal Use of Images and Thumbnails
  • Laws that Protect You From Stolen Content
  • Domain Name Trademark Issues
  • Handling Private Data About Your Readers
  • Who Owns User-Developed Content and Can You Delete It
  • The Duty to Monitor Your Blog Comments, and Liability
  • Basic Tax Law Issues in Blogging
  • Limited Liability Laws and Incorporating
  • Spam Laws and Which Unsolicited Emails are Legal
  • Are Bloggers Protected from Journalism Shield Laws
