If you work the web you need to be cognizant about copyright issues. What most people who publish blogs and social posts online do not realize is that for the most part, the writer relinquishes all rights to the publisher when it comes to online publications.  That's right, Virginia, all the blogs and tweets you sent out to the Internet now belong to the folks at Google and Twitter and Facebook.  Add to this the fact that you can still be held liable for copyright infringement or even sued for libel for anything you post and this adds up to double indemnity for everyone online.
