UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Chit Chat Ever had this done b4?

LOL... I was going to bring up that the layout and bullets were basically the same layout that is here... but didn't. Thanks jeologic for pointing that out! About the text... I meant if you write something other than the basic stuff. Basic words cannot be copyrighted.. like REGISTER, NEWS, FORUMS, SEARCH.... but a tutorial that you've written yourself CAN be and is copyrighted. There are graphics that are public domain... the copyright has been given up and anyone can freely use those graphics. But if you go to someone's site and take a graphic, photo, flash file, shockwave, midi, wav, etc. that they have created and use it, THAT is copyright infringement & illegal. One other thing, sites are not required to put a copyright statement on their pages. An author automatically holds a copyright on his work regardless if it's stated or not. (most sites put it on as a friendly reminder.)

BTW, I'm not an attorney and I'm only passing on information I've picked up here and there. I do have a good attorney but if I'm wrong and someone has other information... please share.
