Oh and thank you so much for the tips on copyrights. I did some searching and you are right. Taking people's words without their permission is a problem.

Why, I even found a very similar post written from a previous member! Strange how that works sometimes.

I guess I'll have to pay more attention from now on.

No its not right but I do know some people that have done it like I have a friend that got banned from a website and she requested that all her posts on the site be deleted because they were mostly her personal poetry, then after a few days she tried to register and log on using her computer but they used her ip address as a way to shut off access not just closing her account so she used another friends computer and registered. When she saw that her poems and posts had not been delted she let the owner of the site know that she had requested that they be removed as the site did not have copy right to those poems and stuff and if she had to she would seek court action for copywrite infringement because she in writing revolked the sites right to have those posts and peoms for which she held the legal copywrite for (she would write her poems and posts then send them to the library of congress and get the copy write certificate so that every thing she wrote on line was her own property and copywrited material. The sites owner had no choice but to remove her posts and poetry once she sent a copy of the library oof congress certificate to the owner. Then for months afterwards she used various computers to register just to varify that no one on the site was still using and posting her copywrited material.

Its not right that people banned reregister like having this friend of mine did, BUT it does happen and there is no way to prevent it unless the sites shut off ALL IP addresses of EVERY computer in the world but then no one would have access including those that had been banned.

HOW TRUE

Look at what happened to me the other night I was on another website and while they did not know who I was they were coming to psych central with out logging in. I know at least two out of the five were definiately NOT members here for they said so during the conversation, but anyway they came here and copied and pasted my posts and others from the community boards on that other website.


A friend of mine and I one night found a poem that she had wrote one night in a real time support group and had posted it in her blog and now it is on at least 8 different websites and not one of those people credited her, in fact they were claiming she wrote them. When she wrote to the webmasters (owners of those sites they told her too bad its on line in a public area that means its open to all the world to use as they see fit. The only way they would remove those posts with her poem was if she sent the webmaster copies of the library of congress paper saying they were legally copywrited by the library of congress. Shh now pay the library of congress $35.00 a poem for that official seal (as do I)
