Copyright is binding with or without the notice.Well I don't believe you're actually effecting anything legally binding with those notices...
@Danal - there's a difference between copyright-infringing acts, and journalism.
Yep - quoting a forum post for any journalisted purposes is fair use. Thanks for posting that. Now everyone knows. Assume everything you post is already copyrighted by the forum owner and that anything can be used for journalistic purposes. Because it can. An article can quote a protected work (let's say a book) and it can quote a forum post.
I got that the first time you said it - you see a correlation and that's great. I addressed that already. Enjoy your signature. Have a margarita.

This shouldn't be getting you this upset.
I'll enjoy the margarita if you agree to switch to decaf.

Furthermore, TMC is not "Public Space". It is privately owned, and chooses to make content available via certain distribution channels. The copyright notice at the very bottom of the main page also carries the force of law.
If that doesn't cover quoting a forum post in a journalistic medium, I don't know what does. A journalist may read posts on a forum and quote them for their journalistic articles however they please - it's absolutely covered under Fair Use. You can't go one day without news organizations reprinting online posts from every possible source. It's legal. I'm not going to argue with you on this.http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html said:examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use:
quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment;
...
summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report;
its definitely one of the first things i noticed when i stumbled on TMC. and it seeems like im not alone.
it's like alot of TMC members take themselves too seriously, and there is a a level of ego in that tag that's hard not to laugh at....like, something you'd expect a middle aged, upper class person who first started using forums. (dont forget the monocles!)
then again, i never cared what some silly rags or blogs on the internet said. Meh.
Live and let live. It's a car forum. That's all. Just a car forum.
Well, you weren't here when reporters started running hit pieces quoting this forum out of context which would actually cause drops in the Tesla stock price. Putting the signature lines in stopped that.
