    Hi,
    My site has a forum that runs on vBulletin. I had added my own copyright line, but it reads as,
    Powered by vBulletin® Version 3.6.7
    Copyright ©2000 - 2008, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
    Copyright 2007 app2us.com

    Who owns the copyright to the content / posts on the forum?
    Does the Jelsoft line belong there? (Jelsoft is the company that owns vBulletin)
    Anyone else faced this problem?
    Thanks.

    Its in the vBulletin TOS that you must keep their copyright information in the footer. As far as im aware, this copyright is just for the actual forum software. It has nothing to do with the content.

    Jelsoft owns the vBulletin software but you own the content created on the forum. Just be clear about who owns what.
