Copyright on BF?

[Hugo]

Hello guys!

Can somebody explain to me the fine print about copyrights on BFC? (Sorry English is not my native language... so I'm not sure if I have really understod it or not)

Example: If I take a photo then the copyright is mine. But if I included it in a post here at BFC, will BFC own the copyright to it by US laws?

This started in another thread, but I thought here (on the general forum) might be some layers who could explain this... and because if BFC expects to get copyright of all material here, then this might interest everybody who has (or has been thinking) about posting for example some knife designs here.

Hugo.

ps. No, I'm not attacking BFC, I just want to know where we stand.

Back to the top for Hugo. Spark? Mike? Could you guys explain this issue to Hugo? I tried already in the link provided above, and failed.

Anyone else?

Don't ask me, I just work here.

I believe the wording stipulates that we own all the content on BladeForums.com and it's subsidiaries, unless owned by someone else. Something like that. Anyhow - it's just lawyerese to prevent someone from stealing the threads.

Spark, thanks for the bit better explanation in the other thread

I've now made my own conclusions about posting photos here. BTW, that lawyerese which prevents other to steal your threads also gives you right to use all the material here. While not exactly what I asked, but close enough. The text doesn't leave us much protection. But that doesn't matter much now that I know it. So, back to business
