Bloggers & Law 

Lawyer recommendations for bloggers:

1.      Check the contracts with online platforms, social networks, messengers where content is published, including the various terms and conditions of publication, payment, advertising, etc.

2.  Intellectual Property Rights:

a.  Register your trademarks (TM), inventions, etc. This is also important to protect your site's domain.

b.  Draw up contracts with your contractors who help you create content so that you own the intellectual property rights.

c.  Enter into license agreements for the use of other people's intellectual property.

3.     Get consent to publish photos/videos of the person you are interviewing/filming.

4. When discussing products, services or people, make it clear that you are making an evaluative judgement. Otherwise, be prepared to defend your position in court.

5.      Always sign contracts: with contractors (design, copywriting, SMM, studio guests, photo/video editors, etc.).

6.      Use professionally drafted public contracts for the sale of goods/services.

7.      Remember: income from blogging is subject to taxation.

8.      Comply with consumer protection laws, personal data protection laws and other local laws where your blog is most likely to be used.

9.      Be aware of and comply with advertising laws, especially with regard to advertising bans. Ideally, advertising texts should be agreed with lawyers, not just copywriters, marketers, SMM, CEO, etc.

10.      Carry out regular due diligence with tax advisors and lawyers.
