US House hearing in defense of bloggers

Tim Chapman reports on Town Hall about a very positive development on Capitol Hill for defending bloggers and their rights.

This is very good, because it shows that there are politicians who understand and recognize the power of blogging, and that it's important for bloggers to be able to manage their writing without having to go through miles of red tape.

There are valid concerns of course about abuse of the laws, as one Republican representative pointed out. But other than that, it's good that there are people in Capitol Hill who understand why it's good to have rights to blogging without having to worry about too much red tape.
