Blogging Libel Insurance

Here's an interesting item. Be apprised that some protection from libel damages may be available to bloggers via their homeowners' or renters' insurance policies. Eugene Volokh discusses. Of note is that it seems libel coverage will depend on the specific wording of each policy and the governing state laws, so it's difficult to make sweeping generalities. Additionally, it appears that displaying advertisements or having a tip jar may also impact the extent of coverage. (via Les Jones)
