I am in the process of writing a book based on my experiences. However, I have already written some of this information on a forum.
I do not intend on copying and pasting the actual posts. In fact there is a lot of information that was not included in the posts, which were brief. I do not intend to write my book using the exact same wording but the basic information is the same.
Would this be a copyright infringement?
I don't see how it could be since it was my words, my story and I am rewriting, expanding and adding further information, but I want to make sure I'm not crossing a line somewhere.
I looked at the copyright information for the board I was posting to which states: No portion of this site may be used without express written consent ...
I am not actually using a portion of that site, except my experiences which I plan to reword, but I'm worried I may have shot myself in the foot by posting to that board.
Thoughts?
