    Is it illegal for me to put my private schools name in a message board I am looking to create? For example, if I went to Harvard (no I don't go there), would it be against copyright laws to create a harvardforum.com?

    You could have trademark problems with such a usage - especially if the site has advertising or any other type of revenue generating streams.
