Good news for all bloggers. Just make sure to attribute the comments to some other site ;)

This is good and will encourage bloggers to take more risks. They are still liable to be sued if they don’t have another source to point to.

Users on Indianpad better link to the original source of the stories in case Lalu comes after them…
