Frankly speaking, it all depends on the mindsets and moods of the judges and juries.
Judge who can think will see blog as blog as blog as blog with or without disclaimers.

Those who can't will ignore it. Those who is out to sue, will sue with or without.

When you wrote your diaries, do you put a disclaimer for your... busybody parents who will take a peep at your discontent at home?

It is really all up to the states to catch up with the new tech. And it is only whether EFF is around or not. Then the rest is up to you to fend for your blogging. Your blogs are feedbacks and personal opinions and views and feelings and sue-ing you is ridiculous. Copyrights is another issue altogether, however.

Do we need to disclaim that when we are unhappy we say unhappy means we are unhappy but cannot justify and cannot be liable for our unhappiness???

This is rubbish... isn't it? :D This fails common sense in face of any legal tests.

Scope.

Pal, plenty of things appearing legal in the minds of people can be 'sued' and tried in courts. Like you are commenting a product, you think you have a right, but some coy may just 'try' you in courts for you to make mistakes and they get away with it.

So USA is lucky to have EFF. I sure hope it has a branch in Singapore.

Nobody probably understands the 'import and export' of copyrights and such. Blogging is really too new, too high tech in social terms. That's why some bullies could using it to their advantages, since they have the resources to sue anyone, and gamble on the results.

Nobody's really covered, so bloggers should rally around, and support each other in strength.

Otherwise... who'd cover you? Raincoaster, got the drift? The hungry lions will only think twice when the cows stick together.

Scope.

Actually, that should be more logical.
But we got a problem again...
Making comments is a communication with the blogger. The blog should have the rights of deciding on the comments, not the Supreme Court. Those judges may not even blog to understand blogging and commenting in the first place.

Eg. A comment: 'Fuck you'.
Sounds offensive in Asia.

But it could be a casual and naughty remarks between two entities who understand it as something else. And then, a legal action is taken because X may think 'Fuck You' is illegal, or refers to him, maybe due to the blog texts.

Then we have to write like Shakespear even on comments or waste time and money in court. Gosh~

Actually, disclaimers can only do so much. Because in actual court fights, ie if a court entertain filing against common bloggers, it is still your stance and (implied) facts that matters.

In the US, you have EFF. In Singapore... anyone knows who can fight for us?

Scope.

The technosailor plugin works great, it moves the comments over so I am happy. The only thing though is on the new blog, I see the comments, but the names of the commentors are gone. Same thing author names on the posts, they are gone too.

When I go to the dashboard, all the authors have a name like this: <![CDATA[AUTHOR_NAME]]>
Because the plugin inserts the <![CDATA[author name here]]>, because of those extra symbols, the author or poster's name does not show up. Is there a way around this to fix it, instead of manually editing everything?
