Legal Question in Technology Law in California

Copying the concept of a blog

I want to create an internet blog that borrows that concept from already established blog.

http://postsecret.blogspot.com/ is a fairly established website where users submit secrets via postcards to be posted on the site. I want to create a site that is the same concept. However, instead of postsecret, i'd call it emailsecret because i would receive the secrets via email instead of postcard.

what, if any, claims could postsecret have against my site. could they shut me down for borrowing their concept?

thanks!

Re: Copying the concept of a blog

This question requires more time and expertise than lawguru can efficiently help with. It is not a simple answer that can be replied to. I would be happy to help answer this question for you, but would need to do so as your attorney, and not a professional answering easy questions like in this general format.

Please call my office at your earliest convenience.
