An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages. They differ from chat rooms in that messages are not shown in real-time, to see new messages the forum page must be reloaded. Also, depending on the access level of a user and/or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.

Forums have their own language; e.g. A single conversation is called a 'thread'. A forum is hierarchical or tree-like in structure: forum - subforum - topic - thread - reply.

Depending on the forum set-up, users can be anonymous or have to register with the forum and then subsequently login in order to post messages. Usually you do not have to login to read existing messages.

What are the legal parameters for quoting from an Internet forum, using the quotes in a new commercial book?
Q. I am writing a book entirely from Internet research. For one chapter, I want to quote several forum participants who are identified by user names only. The Web site requirements state that I must get written permission from them, but they have not responded to my requests. What can I do?

A. You can leave their quotes out of your book. You can't use other people's work without their permission. If they don't give permission then you can't use the work. It's that simple.

A. That really depends on a few more facts. For instance, was the picture of someone famous or well-known or just an average person? If the picture was just of a normal person and you are not using for any commercial gain and it was posted publically there is likely no chance that the person would have an action against you. However, if you are using the picture for some sort of commercial benefit, then the only claim which they could prevail on would be the tort claim of invasion of privacy--specifically "misappropriation of one's likeness". However, as mentioned before, a "normal" person would not be able to sure for this because their "likeness" likely has no value. So, basically no, there is no claim which I could think of which… [cont.]

A. I highly recommend the www.forumotion.com host for your message board. 100% free with great service, I've used them for 2 years with no trouble ever. They do an excellent job of providing a great forum that costs nothing and has comparable features to Invision Powerboard.
