Keep on blogging!

If you're a blogger, this website is for you. EFF is Fighting for Bloggers' Rights

EFF's goal is to give you a basic roadmap to the legal issues you may confront as a blogger, to let you know you have rights, and to encourage you to blog freely with the knowledge that your legitimate speech is protected.

To that end, they have created the Legal Guide for Bloggers, a collection of blogger-specific FAQs addressing everything from fair use to defamation law to workplace whistle-blowing.

Other ways they're fighting for your rights:
  • Bloggers can be journalists (and journalists can be bloggers);
  • Bloggers are entitled to free speech;
  • Bloggers have the right to political speech;
  • Bloggers have the right to stay anonymous;
  • Bloggers have freedom from liability for hosting speech the same way other web hosts do.
