Odd website with pet talk threads

[wombat2u2004]

Does PT have copyright to any of our posts? (I keep thinking the answer is "no" but can't remember where I saw that...) It seems like that copyright would supercede the carelittle site.

Yes, I agree it's "weird" that the site is copying posts but I find it surprising that so many people are shocked. PT is a public forum, anyone can view it (and thus copy, alter, do-what-ever with the posts, poems, and pictures). I'm not saying it's right, don't get me wrong, I disagree with it whole heartedly, but it is public information so to speak.

But are names for use by others ?????
I noticed that the replies to all of my posts were unchanged on that site, such as Karens, Catty1's etc etc......all there plainly for anyone to read.
Just a thought......

Uhhh... *smacks gum, twirls hair* I'll play my blonde card here , I'm not sure I understand what you're asking. lol

I understand that anyone would feel violated. And again, I'm not saying it's right, but once it's out on the internet, it's more or less up for the taking... a bit of a russian roulette, if you will.

This isn't the first time we've run into this; there was someone (or someones)stealing pictures of a pet talk cat and posting on another board as if that cat belonged to them. Heck, there've been people stealing other peoples' pictures and posting on here as if that animal belonged to them. (Some people have WAY too much time on their hands!)

In some ways, it's a great testiment to the comradery of this site and the "secure" feeling we sometimes slip into. And, in some ways, it's a great wake up call/reminder that "they" are out there... *insert theme from The Twilight Zone*

Have fun but becareful everyone!
