Interesting piece in the FT today (Digital Business section) by Dan Ilett. Dan explores how blogging is becoming a legal minefield with lawyers trying to plan the beststrategies for dealing with bloggers. Some blogs have a policy of publishing any legal letters they receive from aggreived clients so tough actions could backfire. Nonetheless people - especially employees - have to be careful about what they say in the blogosphere. Romantics who see the blogosphere as the home of free speech might get a shock when they realise that the same libel laws that apply to journalists also apply and could be applied to them. However enforcing compliance with orders could be really difficult especially as blogs link to each other so quickly and are so densely networked.
