This past week a bill came up before the Kentucky legislature. This bill would make it mandatory for any "interactive service provider" to collect personal information from people before they'd be allowed to post on any sort of blog or forum. The lawmakers and authors of the bill say that it's to cut down on internet bullying, but had the bill passed it would have had enormous ramifications for my business in that it would just about shut us down, or force us to move it, and ourselves out of the state. That's because this company, and it's parent BlodgetTech host many blogs and forums that offer anonymous commenting. Luckily the legislation isn't going to move forward, but it was a pretty scary idea anyway. It's another reason to keep on the ball with legislation and your industry.
I'd like to point you to two very well written blog pieces about the legislation:
