Re: How do you feel about a Memorial/Tribute Forum?

Quote:
do you really think the site would need permission from family to repost what the individual already posted themselves? it does not seem so, if we were not mentioning full names, just their handles here.
It's a problem only if the memorial site is a separate site (vs. a separate forum on this site). It's not that I think that anyone would object, but only that copyright law is pretty clear about what you can do with someone else's words. If this site had permissions like FB's (well, the permissions FB gave itself before the courts got involved), then it wouldn't be a problem, but it doesn't, so it is.

I'm not a lawyer, but I do try (not very ably, at the moment) to keep up with this area of the law.

Just so we're clear, I'm very much in favor of a memorial forum. My experience (many dead friends from the time when I participated in a high-risk sport) tells me that it is both comforting and healing. I just think it's important that it be done properly.
