Sometimes I find things on that interweb thingy, and then I put them here.
A lot of those things have to do with the webbernet. Others do not have so much to do with the webbernet. Still others have nothing at all do with the webbernet.
It's very nice to meet you.

Citizen Media Law Project Launches Legal Assistance Network for Online Journalists | Citizen Media Law Project
We are delighted to announce the public launch of the Berkman Center’s Online Media Legal Network (OMLN), a new pro bono initiative that connects lawyers and law school clinics from across the country with online journalists and digital media creators who need legal help. Lawyers participating in OMLN will provide qualifying online publishers with pro bono and reduced fee legal assistance on a broad range of legal issues, including business formation and governance, copyright licensing and fair use, employment and freelancer agreements, access to government information, pre-publication review of content, and representation in litigation.
The idea for OMLN came out of CMLP’s work over the last 3 years helping online journalists understand their legal rights and responsibilities. During this time period, we’ve published and updated our legal guide and legal threats database, blogged on topics of interest to online publishers, partnered with like-minded organizations on a variety of educational projects, and filed amicus briefs in cases with significant implications for online speech. While we are proud of the impact we’ve made and the success of the CMLP website, we also recognize that many online journalists and bloggers need more than generally applicable legal information—they need their own lawyers to tackle their own individualized legal issues.
Very cool stuff and something that I think will help a lot for small blogs full of quality journalists that are trying to get things off the ground. Kudos, Berkman Center.
