Ok well anyway, there is this admin on another board, and she pmed me saying to change my board b/c it was violating the copyright or something...when all i did was copy the names of the categories. Well anyway i was advertising my message board in my signature and she deleted it because i refused to change my board...do you think this is fair that she deleted my signature, all b/c i wouldnt change it??

IMO thats not copyright infringement.....someone did a copyright thing and you

"Cannot copyright a single word"

That is what it seems like they are saying you did.....ill find the link and quote it. Its not copyright infringement in that case and and as long as you did not copy the entire contents of the catigory, she has no standing at all

It's called plagiarism if you copy multiple sentences word for word, but oyu can't copyright small things, like a few words.

I said:

So I don't think you are breaking any rules. You just couldn't copy the descriptions.
