Default views on quotes from the board in public domain?

Posted By: Scott Levy

As someone with a journalism background, this board and everything said on it is absolutely fair game because it is posted in a public forum. Similarly, blogs, speeches, etc can be replicated. Typically when reproducing quotes, the source (aka net54 forum) is named, which O'Keefe did and there is the responsibility to not twist/distort comments to take them out of context (no problem with O'Keefe here either).

Now if someone was to take a New York Times article and repost it on another site, without permission - that is an infringement.
