    People posting copyrighted pictures on a forum?

    Are forum owners responsible for any copyrighted pictures are that are posted on forums by users? As sometimes the copyright owner may sue or try to claim money or something like that.

    I seem to remember that there is a law in the U.K that means that it is not the responsibility of the owner which seems to make sense as it would be unfair and nearly impossible for the owner to check every single picture.

    Is this the case?

    That depends on the law that applies.
