That's the problem- this guy doesn't give you warning or notice to remove, he just sues you as soon as he has secured the rights to the article... You have no defense- he has proof it was posted and that's all he needs to sue you and your forum.

In the link I posted it's this this guy has sued over 4 paragraphs from a 36 paragraph article...
