In regard specifically to forum posting....
I just checked subsims user registration verbage, and they don't have it; but some websites state when you sign up, that anything you post becomes the property of that website/domain owner.
Can anyone shed some light on the actual legality of that?
I'm interested because this issue just came up at another site, where business ideas were casually posted among forum members, and now those ideas are being taken and reprinted by the website owner in a different format/location, etc. , somewhat against the will of the original post-ers.
Note the last sentence....
"By pressing the "Agree" button, you agree that you, the user, are 13 years of age or over. You are fully responsible for any information or file supplied by this user.
