All I know is that I want him to stop writing about other people's CHILDREN! That is so far over the line that it is longer rude, but is now disgusting.
Not to be pedantic or anything, but I'm not sure where in the forum rules says that all postings belongs to AllDeaf and copyright ownership belongs to AllDeaf? By default, wouldn't they still belong to the individuals making the posts?
In fact, an interesting excerpt, from the Forum Rules link on the bottom left hand corner of this page, has (as is from the time this post was posted on December 23rd):
Forum Rules Link: AllDeaf.com - Forum Rules
I'm certainly not a copyright lawyer, or a lawyer of any kind, but it seems from the above that AllDeaf.com does not retain ownership of the message since they do not want to be held responsible for it. I do understand why they would not want to be held responsible since strange people could post illicit things and AllDeaf does not want to be liable for illicit postings by such people.
Maybe I missed a different copy of the rules?
Also, since "copyright" is being discussed here, the "fair use" section of the Copyright law may be of interest to read and understand to help protect your copyrights. You can read up on a general description on the "fair use" (section 107) here:
U.S. Copyright Office - Fair Use
A little more detail is available on Section 107 is available here:
U.S. Copyright Office - Copyright Law: Chapter 1
Understanding the "fair use" aspect of the Copyright law would enable one to better protect their copyright.

Did you tell the mods? Hope it all gets resolved. If there are no rules about it then maybe their hands are tied.

Threads like this just give DD more attention. Don't give him attention that he doesn't deserve by taking him seriously. That blog isn't going to get much traffic and anyone that takes it seriously isn't worth our time.
