Who "owns" the content of threads in Drowned in Sound?

Enderlin [Edit] [Delete] 15:59, 22 November '10

Got me thinking from Theo's comment of "hope that goes in the sitcom" to deadonthestairs first class funny story story about his JD sports sacking.

Admittedly, there is some pretty funny stuff bounding about the DiS boards. Can imagine a neighbour of Jez's turning up with some SOAWJO or engaging in a sexy tea-based love tryst.

What's to stop someone from just taking other people's posts/ideas and using them in some sub- 2pints of lager sitcom?

Could Sean ride in and say, actually, I own all of those jokes/content and I want 95%, NOW.

Alternatively, is it the individual posters? How could ownership ever be proven etc yawn.

This is probably the sole reason I don't bring my A game to the table.

Anyway,am off to finish the sitcom, need some hilarious work-based dismissal story, hmmm........

*cue disser's saying "What a shit sitcom that would be,DiS is not funny" etc*
