Do I own the comments on my website? LegalVision Q&A

Question: My users contribute to comments on my website, who owns the content that is uploaded?

Answer:

This depends on what is set out in the Terms and Conditions of your website. If you would like to be assigned the intellectual property that is included in comments, you should draft this into your Terms and Conditions if you have not already.
