Online Legal Blogs - Understanding How To Find High Quality Law Blogs
0 sites like Facebook? Well since the owners of the domain are ultimately responsible for the content and are somewhat responsible via 'contributory infringement', societal sites design their EULA (End-User License Agreement, Terms of Service) to be able to protect themselves and their users to a certain degree. The same laws get copyright info: If you are caught using some intellectual property from another source, typically, the social networking site is notified, the content is removed, and you can be notified as to exactly why. Done. You fight that, then your in trial, but it all will depend on the severity and impression.
But protecting ones own intellectual rights on Social networking sites is a little more tricky. In essence, you have given in place your rights to any content on the site since, in effect, they can be using your activities to advertise and advertise. YouTube, as a result of practice, makes it extremely straightforward to 'share' a video on any other social site, website, or by email by giving the actual code needed to copy-n-paste. Just because an idea has been done doesn't mean it may not be done again, but better.
If you watch the infamous cartoon South Park, there can be an episode where Butters will take the disguise of Professor Chaos. He tries to wreck original havoc out of South Park, but everybody thinks his attempts are humorous. The reason they realize its so funny is that stunts were already done on episodes with the Simpsons.
Nothing Butters did was original because it had already been done relating to the Simpsons. That doesn't mean its not funny, you just need to innovate.
The details
A project like this would need a little legal research. You could conduct the majority of it for free just by reading law blogs together with networking with lawyers who are prepared to answer questions over message. You may have to pay for a small price for a legal question and answer service, but the benefits would outweigh the charges by miles.
Make use of the information to create lots of posts and guides on company start ups. The information may be turned in an ebook being sold or distributed as some viral copy.
The piece of viral copy could use to generate leads to your paid membership site about the legal aspects of beginning a blog. Remember to seek out the help of legal professionals and include a strong disclaimer on your webpage. What you are doing is not unethical, you just may not be held responsible for someone else's poor business decisions.
Another problem I see in lots of new bloggers is the mind set that starting a blog is cheap. The statement well said, it is cheap to start a blog. No one ever said it can be cheap to start an effective blog.
It is cheap compared to a concrete bricks and mortar business start up. Remember that when you will be thinking of blog options. Do not limit head to 'cheap' ideas.
Your Service
I realize the title of the post is Find a Blog About Blogger's Rights, but your service could include information regarding copy right laws, brand infringement, proper domain identity selection, fair use insurance coverage, royalty free libraries, and the power of an attribution hyperlink.
