  As an attorney myself, let me say “Great work”. All the essential topics are there. I can’t wait for episode 2.

  BTW, another defamation case was filed over blog comments on the shoemoney blog. Back in June, a blogger was sued for defamation based on his blog posts (metadish blog).

• Blog Ministry » Blog Archive » Tubetorial - Blogging and the Law said:

  […] I don’t want to scare monger but it might be a good idea to keep up to date on what the law says about blogging. The recently launched Tubetorial is starting a series on what bloggers need to know about the law. It will cover cyber squatting, trademark amongst other things such as slander within comments. If you’re blogging, you’re now a publisher. . . congratulations! But here’s a dose of reality — publishing has always carried its share of legal liability, and getting sued (or worse) is not something you want to happen to you. […]

  […] When I initially saw the design for TT.com it looked extremely professional and definitely looked appealing to me, especially with their introduction video. They’ve now released 3 videos all of which were suitable and relevant to me as a blogger: What Bloggers Need to Know About the Law, Why Sell Information and Be the Master of Your Own Domain! […]

  I’m just really curious whenever i make nasty comments i never use proper grammar — from a legal standpoint does it help to use proper grammar if i am going to slander someone?

• Samantha said:

  Joseph and Jersey Girl, thank you.

  David, Brian has told me I should watch out for you. Whatever does he mean?

  And no, bad grammar will not protect you from defamatory comments, which would actually be libel, not slander.

  Looking forward to hearing more on this.
  Great site you’ve started here!!

• Ron said:

  I was actually a little concerned about copyright infringement when I was lucky enough to find this domain name available. It’s kind of close to another well known tv show/website that will go unamed at this point, though I hope to link to them in the future. Any comment on this, or is it more appropriate for me to discuss with an attorney? Look forward to more of your installments.

• Need Some Sort of direction... said:

  I really need some help on what a person that started a blog is allowed to say and post… Pictures, including showing a tag number all to the world that can be traced back to a household. The other stuff on his site I am not worried about but the information that is posted that could possibly harm my household I am worried about. If I could just get a direction to look up laws about blogging. I did watch the video but I am not sure if I can wait until the next edition comes out. Thank you so much for any replies that could help me. Greatly appreciated.

  Good intro, especially to someone like me who is a relatively new person to blogging.

  Hope you will address the issue of content theft .. if you spend half a day writing an article - someone can nick that article in 5 seconds using copy/paste and get some of the benefit.

  Great short tutorial. Recently I was checking out some free online courses and came across a good primer on trademarks, copyright, etc. I’ll post back when I find the link. I thought it was in the SBA website, but cannot recall:

  Keep up the good work!
