Stop being a troublemaker, once removed there's a problem less on this difficult world...
You have to able too, to wear others' shoes...

More than likely, they were just trying to bully you into removing it, which I've had attempted with me in the past.
not true at all, a forum owner does have a responsibility of what is on their board, even if it was posted by a member.

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. I'd have laughed right in the lawyers face.

Even though removing the content won't make much difference to us, I'm peeved that a lawyer can come and tell us what to do. The website is hosted and run in US so we should be safe under free speech. I don't want to take the thread down. What do you guys think?

If the story is published in a local paper, or was broadcasted on the news, then there is nothing that any lawyer can do about you having the news posted on the net.

My idea on this is "I have no control on what my users post." If a member posted it then they did.

That argument would not stand if such an issue was taken to court.

You are maybe not in control what your users post, but as a site-owner it is your responsibilty to remove illegal content.

ignorance is not a legal defense, as the owner of the board ultimately you are responsible for the content. :)

However, from what the OP posted, there was nothing illegal about the content in question.

I agree, if you're just re-publishing an article that has been posted online the only one that could ask you to remove it would be the original source/author if you copied it from them.

Re-publishing libel is exactly the same as publishing libel.
