Interesting point and in my case yes and all writing is attributed to the person who wrote it in print. And everyone got a book and a special private forum. In a way it was a community effort of mostly old timers who were there in the beginning. I'm curious about your point of view. What is your take on these. - If someone posts something in your forum. Can you legally repost in twitter saying.. so and so just posted? - When you post in a public forum do you automatically assign the copyright as public domain by virtue of where you posted and who can see it? - Facebook owns all of the content you post (pictures/posts/videos). Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content? |

It may constitute fair use. Publishing their work in a book and profiting from it is another story.

No.

As the sibling says, they do not.
> Doesn't this apply to all/most sites with user generated content?
No. A given website may state that as a condition of its use, users must assign copyright to anything they post to the owners of the company. This is not a common condition.
