no necessarily, people on yahoo copy info from other websites all the time, sometims it's direct copy and paste, other times it's reworded, certain text ( like the content of the church of scientology are copyrighted and are not allowed to be posted period , even though if you really hunt it down you can find it ) are prohibited if it's copyrighted text, but genrally posted messages can be copied from one forum to another, rules against spamming , mlm, chain letter are common to all websites that have forums, all of them prohibit that, the discalimer ofr copyrighted text is to protect the website owner more than anyone else

Not really. All that you can do is ensure that there is nothing publicly available for your employer to discover. For example, be very aware that if you have a Blog, post on popular message boards, or have ever used the Usenet, that your employer can, and likely will read what you've posted there.\n\nAs someone who has hired others, you'd be surprised at what personal stuff people actually encourage you to look at. I had one person who sent in her "Gothic Fetish" website as an example for the position of writing for a children's magazine.\n\nNote that your private information is basically off limits to an employer, and that your employer can not choose not to hire you due to age, gender, race or religion.

I don't think its technically illegal but it's not wise because you are violating someone else's privacy if you give out their full name.  I'm sorry you got in trouble and I don't think it's the school's place to correct an issue like this unless you did it while you were at school and in that case maybe the issue was more about using this type of website inappropriately. Either way, lesson learned, right? Don't use other people's names even if you're not saying something "bad" it still could be information they'd rather not have posted online.

its not illegal if you tell them that it is not real but if you dont say anything or tell them that it is real then it is illegal. just be careful if you do sell it.

You would have to ask the web master or owner of the site that the articles are posted to (not the search engines that find the artcle).  Depending on the content of the article (if they constitute harassment, libel, etc.) you might have some success.  But they are not obligated to do so.

No, it isn't legal to post any copywrited videos of any kind, but like everything else on the internet, the status of legal or illegal really doesn't matter.

It's legal, but considering how much time and effort search engines are going to have to put in to outsmarting the optimizers, it doesnt seem moral to me.  thats just more wasted money that could be spent on other stuff.

Chances are that the content is copyright by the original creator.  When this happens, they can ask you to take it off, and you must do so, or if there is significant damages, they can sue you.  If it is less than 10% of their site and is for educational purposes, then you can legally copy the info if it is not patented.

what do you mean is it true or false ?You must be very young to be asking this and maybe you shouldnt be looking at sites like this as it is an illegal act and it is very wrong and very true.

Yes, it is,. It is the way that it is used by the users that makes it potentially an illegal site.\n\nI guess it depends on how you use it.

No, this is an illegal activity.  Taking someone else's product and packaging it under another label is a crime.

Hmm a very intresting site indeed. The only input I can put its probally illegal.\n\nThe reason: All videos that are uploaded to a specfic server is copyrighted righted by the owner of the video. Example if someone uploads to youtube. The owner has copyrighted the video to youtube directly. By copying the video without the owners concent or without providing them the credit of the video infact you have broken copyright laws.\n\nLike gamefaqs or any other text based documents. All information is copyrighted to the owner who wrote them. You need there concent if you are going to move it somewhere else. \n\nHowever if you keep it on your computer for personally use only with no intent to publish, share with anyone other then yourself it is ok. i would not recomend a folder filled with them but maybe a few (3 or 4 max) should be fine. Otherwise it shows intent to steal.

Absolutely NOT. It's unethical and immoral. It can also lead you into legal trouble. Has this happened to you or are you considering doing ot to someone else? \n\nHere's more info from the below link:\n\nBusinesses, like individuals, must take care not to commit defamation. A business is entitled to be free from interference by false claims or statements made by competitors or other with respect to the quality or title to their property. In other words, a business may have a claim for defamation and be entitled to damages if a competitor makes untrue statements about the business's products. Also, it is improper to make false, disparaging comments about someone else's title to property. If you state or imply that someone does not really own some piece of property, when they in fact own it, you may be libel if the owner is then unable to sell the property at the desired price because of your statements.\n\nBe careful, not only in your advertising and marketing activities, but also with letters and in conversations, that you do not make false, disparaging statements about your competitors. Be particularly careful if you publish any statement about a competitor's products or services, or a competitor's creditworthiness or other important matter of character.\n\nAlso remember that the requirement of "publication" does not necessarily mean distribution of a magazine, newspaper or television broadcast. For the purposes of a defamation claim, publication means that you have made a statement about someone else , either in writing, orally or by electronic media, that is received by at least one other person.

The problem with this is, if any money is generated in any way from what you are doing, you are infringing on the copywrite.  That includes if you are using say google to host your website and google sells advertising space on your website (like they do).  The person who is liable is you, not google.
