Our policy now is nobody owns the content... I guess that makes it public domain...Not exactly. Unless the posters specifically state that their posts are public domain, they still retain ownership. Even a note stating that a condition of posting is that what's posted is automatically released into the public domain could be easily contested I think.
While it is easy to view this situation as a sinister plot, the truth of the matter is quite simple and benign... :)Hehe, that's usually the case but I'm glad to hear that you're willing to talk about it. I stopped posting to the forum on http://www.dpreview.com/ because although the site is absolutely terrific, the copyright page states that *everything* on the site is copyright by the owner. No exception is made for the forums. They even go so far as do reject liability for what people write, but seem to claim ownership non-the-less. I wrote the site admin three times about the discrepancy with no answer. I still use the site as a reference but my enthusiasm for is is far less than it used to be. I rarely write anything in the forums, and when I do it's nothing of *any* significance.
A shame, really.
Rick.
