An Internet post is world wide public and the writer knew that when he posted. Did he issue and show a copy-write logo or statement? Of course he did not, he is just pissed and using this as a ploy to scare or force you to his way of thinking. To be sure, have him to produce his copy write papers that were filed in the state he lives! He lost all rights when he pressed the send button unless he specified what he sent as copywritened and even that would be questionable.

Thanks Ken. The issue is a disgruntled former poster of the email list has sent me a request to purge every post he has made to the list. He is claiming he owns the copyright to anything he has written. Is he correct?
Thanks,
Kurt

Generally, you are not free to use a copyrighted work in its entirely, or substantial portions, but under the fair use, you can copy short sections of it if you are commenting on them, not reproducing the work as a whole. If it's something simple like a photo or painting, you cannot reproduce it in its original entirely, but I think there was a case where the court found that a low resolution thumb nail version of as copyrighted painting did not infringe because it would never be blown up and used as art. This looks pretty good: [2]Using materials from the Internet
