Duly stipulated, but there are potential wrinkles I'm not competant to have a legal opinion on, eg.:
* What if we're in different countries with different laws? * I think some corporate message boards assert ownership of content. Does that work? * I may potentially make a post unprivate: is that permitted? * May I back up my journal including comments? * May I quote comments in their entirety, with attribution, elsewhere? * Do I have an obligation to remove legally obscene comments?
And it seems right, if I'm going to talk about copyright of some things, to let people know what areas I haven't thought about and the default and/or common sense approach may prevail.
