I remember in a non-fiction book by Cliff Stoll, he quoted entire posts from the usenet groups and wrote some of his own opinions to them.
I am wondering, if that would be permissable from regular forums today? I know some websites claim all text on their message forum is 100% copyright, etc. So in that case, would quoting any parts of this in a book be illegal? Others seem to disagree with this and say it counts as public-domain, no matter what an admin claims.
