I guess Perez learned something from these law suits. I can see that there are credits on pictures he’s posting…

And here I am, thinking that “giving credit” is basic elementary. Apparently not. And truth be told, I don’t even know this Perez Hilton (yeah, I’m sooo behind).

We’re actually planning to have a Bloggers’ Agenda kind of thing soon. We’ll ask bloggers what legislative acts they want to be passed to the 14th Congress regarding info tech and blogging. Our digital rights are always at stake.

It’s always a big news until a relatively unknown blogger without the means and resources for legal proceedings get sued.

I noticed that PerezHilton is now putting credits below the photos on where he took those images.

@ Jeff, couldn’t remember Pixar contacting us at any time but that would have rocked if they did!

Abe, i remember that you used The Incredibles characters on your Ploghost site.

I actually contacted Pixar and i told them about it . Next days later, The Incredibles characters were incredibly removed.

I think the best thing to do to avoid being sued is to give proper credits for the articles or pictures that being published in ones blog

That’s why i had to purchase “whois protection” for m domain name. Though still not a guarantee, but at least i can make the crooks search of me a little harder.

haay you know how it is in the US. Suit-happy lawyers left and right. I am not surprised .But it could happen here if some enterprising lawyer sees a hole.Then again, we don’t have clear digital laws .

Your libel suit is still fresh on my mind…

But with regards to Perez Hilton, I have to agree with some of those complainants.. there’s fair use, and then there’s using property and claiming it as your own..

I personally never liked Perez Hilton myself, just way too “purposefully” nasty.. There’s airing your grievances, and then there’s just plain being a bitch.
