Blogger Could be Sued for Copyright Violations

As citizen media develops, it is no surprise that certain news-gathering bloggers will begin feeling the pressure of accountablility to properly crediting sources. To me this concept is Writing 101, even beyond the specific photo credit issues in the seeded blog post. Because digital media makes it possible to "rip" any image or a quote available online, it is that much more important that pioneers of citizen journalism respect copyrights by giving credit where credit is due.
