Being a blogger, I decided that I would be better off if I'm aware of my legal rights.

Thus,weeks ago, I went to University Malaya. Yes, the premier public university of the country. It was ranked in the Top 200 of the THE - QS World University Rankings by Times Higher Education in 2006.

A law conference regarding blogging and law was hosted there, and I decided to check it out.

The audience listening attentively as the speaker shares his insights. I shall not load this post with information or make it sound like a lecture, but I'll just roughly talk about the topics which the speakers touch on.

The speaker for the first topic is Mr. Foong Cheng Leong, a lawyer from Kuala Lumpur and a blogger himself.He touched on intellectual property and regulations related to it. His topic gave me some insights on the intellectual property rights; on areas which most people are unaware of, such as rights in registering domains, the owners of the copyright of the images.

Next, Mr. Nizam Bashir, a Malacca lawyer & blogger. He talked about defamation, something very relevant for the Malaysian society as the number of individuals being charged for defamation or sedition has increased significantly.
The event ended with a session for refreshment. Since it was a half day event , I decided to take the opportunity to visit a friend of mine at the university, after the event. We took a stroll around the campus, but the weather was getting unbearable. So, we ended up, hanging out at Mid Valley Megamall after that.
