To be awfully upfront and blunt I have to say this reading was a bit of a bore. But on the other hand I am fully aware that the information noted throughout this webpage is crucial in deepening my knowledge on my rights as a blogger. But to go from cute cartoon YouTube video to long and informative article on legal rights was obviously never going to be a good time. Perhaps if I were clever I would have approached the readings in the opposite order.

I do appreciate the wealth of information dot-pointed throughout this reading and I’ve saved it to my browser’s favourites so that I can quickly find it in future as I know just how important it it; not only for this media-related blog but also for my personal blogs too.

I never knew just how many issues there were within the laws of running a blog. And as I read through them, I couldn’t stop thinking about the dozens of blogs running through my head that I knew were breaking those laws. Whilst I appreciate these laws in that they protect my work and that of others, at the same time I know these laws are rarely implemented nor are people punished for breaking them.
