Bloggers sued over comments posted on his site by readers

The Wall Street Journal
Traffic-Powers.com sued Aaron Wall, who maintains a blog on a search engine optimization- tactics companies use to get themselves to appear higher in searches, alleging defamation and publication of trade secrets. The suit, filed in a Nevada state court earlier this month, also listed as defendants several unnamed users of the blog.

The suit contends that trade secrets on intranet placement optimization which is information limited to a certain number of people and only on a need to know basis and are subject to strict confidentiality agreements was violated.

This is something that as bloggers we have to be sure to watch out for. In addition, we ALL need to be aware of copyright.

As in the suit, publicly publicizing any trade secrets is against the law.

Bloggers, please be sure to read the comments that are posted on your web sites because you personally are liable for its content.
