need advice about legal disclaimers on websites

[Navaros]

i'm thinking of making a fan website for a TV show

the main problems are i don't wanna get sued for Intellectual Property violations. or for people posting weird stuff on my site's forums

so i'm asking y'all: how do sites get proper legal disclaimers to cover themselves from all of that?

surely they do not all hire a lawyer with money out of their own pocket just to do that

what's the secret to making a good legal disclaimer for free?

thx

Will the posts just be in the forum? I would have thought that all you need to do is state that the views expressed here are not your own. However you can get free disclaimers online.

i'd be much obliged for links to free disclaimers that do not suck ~D

I would e-mail the TV show you're making the site about concerning the intellectual property violations-see what their policy is on posting screencaps, pics and such. I imagine they'd be pretty lenient, it's free publicity after all.
