Due to the controls being intended by States to regulate blogs and due to the sprouting of litigations on blog content (see blogging can be dangerous to your health), it seems to me that blog lawyering is the future of our business. With 100 millions users, I think it is realistic to say that about 15% of those would result to lawsuits, which means that you have 15 million clients. Wow.
However, since a lawyer should not encourage litigation, in the spirit of good faith, I am giving some tips on how to avoid on-line litigation, which is from legalmatch.com. First, your blog should contain some sort of disclaimer liability. Second, you should not knowingly post libelous statements. Third, you should be careful in posting materials from other websites. Fourth, you should edit blogs that can be defamatory. By taking these steps, legalmatch.com says that you limit your exposure to liability. Now, if you are still sued despite following these steps, then you can get a good lawyer to defend you, which is obviously me, two (2) years from now.(hopefully)
