I have noticed two recent posts on another forum that were copied directly from Bee-L.  Anyone who does this is breaking US law unless they have permission from the original author.  US law says the act of writing results in automatic copyrights to the author, thus what he writes he owns legally as property.  Ditto with photographs.  You push the button on the camera you own the image and it is copyrighted.  To post a copy on another forum is theft of property. I personally find people who steal offensive.  I belong to internet groups where such behavior results in the offender being ejected permanently from the group for ethical violations.

If the owner of the other forum knows about the theft and is an honorable person he should delete the post immediately.
