10 Things You Should Never Post on Social Media
I found this link on my Facebook page and I found it very interesting. Number 3 sure applies to sites like Spiritual Forums. Thought I would share it with you all. The link contains product for sale but its under Boom Social if you wish to go find it.
3. Claiming other people’s content as your own
Any time you use someone else’s content without attribution – images, quotes, or original ideas – you run some pretty serious risks. Remember that copyright infringement is a serious offence that can lead to legal action, and that can do serious damage to your brand. While you may get away with it in the short term, it’s just not worth it!

That's beyond ironic, since The Face Borg automatically assumes ownership of everything posted there! Screw FB, but yeah, good points !

That is a very good point made, Lynn.
A few months ago I discovered an illegal download of my own complete work on a website. I had not given permission for this, and owing to the IP address of that website being extremely dubious, I had an inkling the download may contain malware
I didn't want anyone to download malware attached to my work.
I contacted the server of the website and pages involved. I did not have to try hard. Within 24-48 hours those pages completely disappeared. On the 'copyright' issue alone. The server didn't mess about and closed them quickly, letting me know what they had done.
It would be a great shame if because of a copyright issue (which is illegal actually, not just a misdemeanour) -we came to Spiritual Forums one day and found it permanently offline!

Have you been receiving a lot of takedown notices Lynn? Can't really imagine what could be on here that would justify that.

Hello
On average 4 to 5 a month. So that is quite a bit honestly. Some of the requests are very harsh in nature too so I have that to sort out too as well.

It's unfortunate you have to deal with that Lynn - thank you for your dedicated work.
I imagine the reason some of those letters are harsh is because that is the only course of action they can take short of expensive litigation. It is probably the best way for them to get other third parties to take action with a looming -- albeit hallow, threat. But - you have to do what you got to do. I don't envy the position you find yourself in. Again - thank you.
