Can a forum be closed for copied posts?

While I am inclined to agree with Shotgun, there isn't much on wober worth copying. It's just a general chat forum, so copying somebody's life experiances or whatnot isn't really worth it. If theezy ran a graphics or PHP script site, more people would steal the content.


Wasn't really talking specifically about Wober, so it looks like you'd agree with me.

...this can be abused to help shut down competition. You may thank the corrupt copyright lawyers.

And the people who issue DMCA notices with malicious intent!
 
They can't be closed if the author of a topic goes on another forum and posts the same thing, if that was the case no forums would exist. As for others copying, word for word with multiple posts, I think hosts would warn you if a complaint was received.
