I was just wondering if you could help clear my doubts. Qn: Is it possible for another blogger, who claims his blog is copyrighted,to sue another blogger who ripped off a small part of his 'work'. I find it amusing that some people are threatening legal actions against other bloggers just because they saw similar/ or same words used. How many different ways can we express ourselves anyway?

Secondly, what about those primary five or six students writing their blogs? Are you going to include them under the umbrella of the association? Thirdly, when you regulate, you are again going to stiffle creavity and instill fear into the people, especially those who tries to think out of the box. Fourthly, where in the world, at present is there such an association for bloggers? Lastly which country in the world is there such a govt that regulates blogging? If the Spore Govt wants to regulate, just let it be. It has to shoulder the consequences and the backlashes, not the bloggers.

I have yet to come across many articles on any such blogs which openly and defiantly express support for any government policy. (One which comes close is Aaron Ng’s support for self-regulation by bloggers, as suggested by Dhamendra Yadav and sgpatriot’s support as well.

Can you imagine a Xmass tree without a star at the very top? The Singapore flag without stars? Now girl that would be like having coffee without your creamer. Yes? Trust me girl, you always need a star to shine the way. Dory,

I just want to say an association is not a very good idea. But a code of ethics as mentioned by Gerald or Bambi boy is a very good start. For one it is less complicated and easier to formulate and develop. Secondly like the Geneva Conventions, it can evolve through time, but for it to be really credible. I personally think it is important to include not only bloggers but everyone that makes up the virtual community. This includes readers etc. Even the boys in the brotherhood. Only please make sure no rocket ships, planets, stars, galaxies on this logo! Hi,
