Just a quick post for the people interested in protecting their rights to publish and “speak”. The EFF and a group coordinated by Stanford Law School have published two guides.

The EFF guide to blogging and the law can be found here: http://www.eff.org/bloggers/.

The brand new Podcasting Legal Guide can be found here: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Podcasting_Legal_Guide.

If you want to pay attention to copyright, licensing, and trademark issues in your blog or podcast, take a look at the two sites. They are not too long for the everday Joe to read and extremely important when considering the use of other media sources (original or altered) in your personal or business publishing.
