Journalism Intrigues

Is this tweaking??? Wait, no...I'm not on drugs. Thanks for clarifying, Micheal Flynn. It's tweeting...yet that's not what I'm doing now.
Blogging? Yeah, that's it.
This jargon will one day get the best of me.
Surrounded by so much experience, it has been a great start for my journey into journalism.

So, while reading the Foust book, Chapter 10, I was curious about your perspective when it comes to online copyright on the internet. It seems that even in the worst cases of illegal linking or infringing material, the only consequence is a mere slap on the wrist! Wait... not even that.
If ever "convicted," you must simply remove the information off your site, or give proper attribution.
That's it
So are there really any legal implications? And who really cares? Well, traditional journalists of course.
Is anyone gonna take the time to sue you anyway?! Sounds exhausting to me.
