Blogging Law

An excellent summary on current blogging laws in the US.

Aviva Directory has very nicely recapped 12 issues that can hang up bloggers such as comments, images, deep-linking and citing others (fair use).

Of course, these laws are continually evolving as precedent hasn't existed for a lot of these issues--so consider blogging laws a moving target. In addition to advice following discussion of each of the 12 legal issues, suggestions framed as "always" "never" and "consider" provide conservative guidance. After the 12 issues, you'll find a healthy list of resources for more info.

Hat tip to David Maister for mentioning this site.
