Is there any liability here?

I wrote a post today showing a headline on inman news. http://activerain.com/blogsview/37549/Is-this-legal-in . It talked about getting creative in a slow market. Their idea of creative was to print a want ad for buyers with a reward of a $1000. I thought that was illegal so I posted it to get some feed back and sure enough it is totally illegal. Is there any liability towards the author of that article if someone was to loose their license for following the suggestion? If so is that liability pointed at bloggers on the rain? Say I am confused about something and I post it and someone does it and looses their license or gets fined am I liable. I live in California and this is a sue happy state, just look at our contracts every April and October they add forms because of legal problems. If you know anything about this I would like to know. Maybe I will start putting a disclaimer in my signature.

I guess you could post a blog about murder, but unless there is a body you didn't murder anyone and wouldn't be prosicuted.  Short of race, religion, familial status, etc. I guess you can publish what you like.   You do, however, still run the risk of just being an idiot blogger - An issue entirely different.  :)
