What exactly does IB do ? Or is their only business to buy up internet forums?

It's an interesting gray area.
But they may hold claim that if person A posts something, person B copies/pastes that to another site, person B is indeed infringing on implied copyright, and that IB is protecting person A, for their own benefit. That scenario could hold up. IB still holds no implied copyright, but person A does.

Now in the second example, person A posts something on an IB site, and person A then chooses to take his material elsewhere, IB is shit outta luck there, and person A can request IB remove all instances of said copyright material from their own database. (even if person A is banned from IB site).


I could be wrong, but I've played this game before...One scripted letter could erase all of my 16,477 posts from CF if I so chose.

Funny, I almost used that as a point.


Thing is, all Snide's Caturday posts consist of are (displayed) links to images hosted elsewhere. Remote content not hosted by IB, they have no possible claim to it.

Still he should post them here first...

I noticed a few times they get locked over there after a few days, and have to wonder why as I did not see anything posted wrong.

Maybe they close them so not to be confused with the next episode?

They let some guys take all the risk by starting a forum, come in and buy them for cheap money (if the rumors I heard were true), then find some old guys to work for free.

Sounds like a good plan. (shrugs)

That could be a whole lot of fun to do, especially if lots of people did it at once.

Can it be done for other people on their behalf, though?
