The Law Is Struggling to Keep Up with Medium
10/05/2006

USA Today just published an article: Courts are Asked to Crack down on Bloggers , the article addresses many of the legal issues that have resulted from the emergence of blogs and RSS feeds.

While the article does say:

"The blogosphere also is the Internet's Wild West, a rapidly expanding frontier town with no sheriff."

It fails to address the issue of jurisdiction. Not all posters on the Internet are held to the same standard, it can become excessively difficult to sue an individual in another country, regardless of the laws broken there is no centralized standards board. Ultimately readers are going to have to weigh the credibility of bloggers, and realize that they are not held to the same standards as the traditional news media. Consider the source.

FullFeeds
10/03/2006

FullFeeds is a petition against partial content feeds. Not really sure of the petitions purpose, some content is better suited to a partial content feed, not only to protect intellectual property but to allow readers to quickly scan contents for items of interest.

While I understand the sentiment that most people might prefer full content feeds, I think the petition does not accurately reflect the issue. It is not a black or white issue, there is a whole lot of grey.
