Discussion of blogging is important at this time, as we are seeing the increase in the number of blogs and bloggers. The new ‘killer application’ is sweeping everything, as many people from different backgrounds want to create their own blogs and start blogging to the world. Not many of them know that blogging can be fun and challenging at the same time. Although blogging is not a new application, only recently researchers and scholars are becoming interested in studying this phenomenon and its implications. This is because blogging is changing how humans project themselves and others in cyberspace. Lawyers and legal scholars are also not distinct from the world, as they want to be first in exploring the legal issues and risks associated with the use of blogging and the liability of bloggers. But the question, do we need novel rules to deal with blogging? And to what extent are traditional laws helpful in answering our questions? |
