Copyright Statement

I figured I'd best protect my forum by creating a copyright statement. We deal with a lot of images, graphics and art wise, and copyrights can be a huge issue when someone wants to leave. I was wondering if this statement seems fair to you folks

CLICK

I wanted to make sure that users retain the rights to any work they submit in a gallery situation, but let them know that graphics resources and tutorials submitted, as well as regular posts, remain copyright of the forum. It hasn't ever been an issue, it's just best to be prepared, right?

I think that's a good copyright statement.

I guess with your site, keep all the exclusive stuff esp stuff with a link to your site.

If you're overly concerened - you might want to have a lawyer check it out

Honestly, I just want to make users feel assured their work will not be stolen or anything when posting. I don't like websites that claim ownership to my works if I post them, so I can understand how that would cheese anyone else off as well. And of course, in the case that the member decides to leave and wants their work removed, they can.

It's all to make the user feel secure (and cover my own ass in the process)

That first line would be useful to me, do you mind if I use it?

Line two is actually nulled due to the Invisionfree terms of use, which makes me liable for any posted content or content linked to. And the last line is already covered in the user agreement

Do you mean their user avatar, or avatars submitted to the gallery?

I would have thought that covered it

I think it would be more fair to yourself if you stated that the creator maintains ownership of all copyrights of their work but they grant you permanent rights to publish anything they submit to your site on that site.
