Who Owns the Blogged Word?

CK - Washington.   Discussions erupt about ownership in the blogged word. A blog is a site like this where operators post texts sequentially and third parties attach comments to such texts. The American perspective is here, and a European view is here.

Conclusion: Pretty inconclusive at this time, but both contributions are food for thought.

Ownership Rules for the German American Law Journal:   Commenters' words would remain theirs (or their employer's if that should be the case), subject to our edits and deletions, in whole or in part. Common-sensibly, significant editorial changes would be identified, while deletions of comments in toto would end up in a black hole, without credit. So, if you miss your comment, look for your copy and post it elsewhere.
