Are the posts written on this newsgroup (or other discussion groups for
that matter) the property of the person writing them (the posts) or do they
belong to the group they are posted on? As to copyright.
Does the person who writes the post "own" the rights to it (the words) or
does the server, or whoever who started and runs the group- once it is
posted on it?
With the newsgroups, who would that be, the server one gets the groups
from?
Would this also apply to pictures posted, too?
I know there is fine print in some of the terms of agreement (photo
albums, for example) that seems to say if you use us, upload your phonts, we
own the rights to them, at least as long as they are on our server.
