If my site policy is very clear in defining image ownership and rights
And even a warning is displayed before a user upload an img
Am I still in copyright troubled water if the user grabs anyone pic and post it as his/her own content?

if so it seems impossible to figure it out!

I'm sure someone will know for sure but this is what I heard. If a user goes by a real (traceable) name then they will be responsible for any infringement. If not the site owner will be.

... come on henryO you've been here long enough to know that this is a legal question and as such any answer you receive here is worthless, you need to speak to a lawyer if you are worried.

I have seen more or less similar topic on WebmasterWorld
And member experience is worth paying attention to
Is not a forum about sharing info?
When I will feel a need for it I will see my biz counselor .

Thanks, informative and constructive as I know now where to dig in and what I should discuss with my attorney.
