and to this:

I am not a lawyer but I think this does include attachments, too.

It should be enough if you don't have a knowledge that some materials were posted without owner's permission. Also, you don't have to check content posted by other forum members. But if you know that someone has posted copyrighted material without author's permission, you should rather remove it. Of course, the risk that someone will sue you for allowing to post and store illegal content is extremely small, but for some people it can be simply unacceptable and have bad impact on the popularity of this forum (and of course EGSL an NaaLaa, too). So, if someone wants to use someone else's work without permission, he/she should take full responsibility for it by not informing about it on the forum. Just my opinion.
