Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Massachusetts
blog postings
If I were to publish a book of blog
postings that I find on the web, can I do
so without getting permission from the
bloggers who wrote and posted them?

Not unless there is express permission granted on the sites from which you are drawing the material. Copyright arises automatically from the moment that a writer writes.
