Recent events have raised the issue of copyright of posters' contributions here. The owners and moderators of this forum have always held the view that anything original posted here can be freely quoted by anyone without concern for copyright, but this wasn't explicitly stated until now. Consequently, the following has been added to the Forum Guidelines:-By posting on this forum you are agreeing that your posts become 'public domain', and may be used freely by others. The legal owner of forum8.org makes no claim to copyright to any of the content of this website. For works previously published elsewhere and copyrighted, the usual laws apply.
Posters may wish to compare this with the equivalent section from enjoyinglife.org where they claim ownership of copyright of all contributions!:-
By submitting or sending us any material you become a contributor (hereafter "contributor") and automatically grant us a royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive right and license to use any and all rights under any and all copyrights, publicity rights, trademark, and other proprietary rights embodied in such material in unlimited quantity (in whole or in part) worldwide, and/or to incorporate it in other works in any medium now known or hereafter developed for as long as any such copyright or similar right may exist in such material. Contributor also permits anyone else who accesses or use the web site to access, view, store or reproduce the material for that individual's personal use.
Any comments, suggestions, complaints can be sent to the moderators at moderators@elitemail.org.
