The easiest thing to do is look carefully for re-print or copyright information on the page you wish to link to or copy. Some say to distribute freely, others say to get permission (easy to send an email and ask) and still others flat out say dont copy or link to their site or page. Bottom line is do some due diligence and cover your self but most importantly the forum you are a member of.
Most forums dont have a lot of money and are generally hobby related. The company in question is a flat out scum bag. Just a shitty way to do business if you ask me.
This is good advice, support by the Media Law prof I talk to.
