That would be a very nice book to have. If I were a laywer I'd write it.  
As a blogger I'd buy it.

That's not up to you to decide (and nor should it be). It is the creator's  
right to decide when, how and where his work should be reproduced.  
Exceptions are of course Fair Use for commentary, parody and the like.

People don't get sued for vlogging. They get sued for defamation, libel,  
copyright infringement or breach of privacy. In the same way people don't  
get fired for blogging. They get fired for revealing trade secrets.
