blogging and the law

Via PCIJ:
Freedom_sakeKUDOS to the Electronic Frontier Foundation for recently coming out with the Legal Guide for Bloggers, a compilation of FAQs to help bloggers understand their rights, and when necessary, defend their freedom.
In creating the legal guide, EFF has taken cognizance of the fact that
bloggers have been getting into trouble for what they post…
Though the legal guide is based on United States laws, the general
underlying principles and situations should still apply to some extent
to our local context given the existence of a (presumably) strong
constitutional protection for speech here similar to the U.S.
Certainly, this reference should come in handy, especially in these
times.
