I just came across a big chunk of a thread from forums.secondlife.com copied to another website.
This prompts me to wonder if this is considered ok, legal and proper, copying people's posts without permission from either the posters or from LL?

I haven't read the fine print, but I doubt it matters. |

I am sure it happens all the time.
Sadly the truth is, do not post anything you would not want seen anywhere else on the web. (I learned this the hard way) _____________________

It's at http://owkvillagehistory.blogspot.com/2009/01/can-you-trademark-someones-island-name.html , in case anyone wants to take a look.
They must have copied the page source, not just the visible text, because the avatar names link to people's forum profiles here. _____________________
