Forums are an open source info system.
So copying is allowed.

That is correct as long as the information is posted in a non private group / forum and as a general rule, posting the material source and person will also prevent future problems.

Members only, means that it still is shared info.
Maybe its not nice to copy such info, but i ll guess its not a crime either.
