Bob,

A question. Well, a few questions. Forgive me if they've been asked before.

I have heard posters from other message boards (Yahoo, RB) claim that it is a potential infringement of copyrights to cut & paste news articles onto message boards.

I'd like to know if you've ever had a case where some news agency or some other copyrighted entity has approached SI with a request to cease & desist, ban, bar or erase news articles or any other material that has been posted on the SI boards.

If so, did you comply with the request? Have you ever taken punitive action against an SI poster who posted such material? If so, what kind of punitive action? Is SI in any way liable for postings of it's members?

If copyright infringement is a legitimate issue is there a guidline that members need to follow?

Thanks!
