This would seem to imply that the recent threats were real. Copyright would only cover the FB chat because, unlike everything else, that was private (so, strictly speaking, Ryan had no right to make it public). It's a good thing that about 500 people made copies and will re-up it on YT now.

Depends on your state, in my state it would be perfectly legal for me to share a conversation I was a part of.

Interesting! I thought - like phone calls - it would be something you'd need the other party's permission to post online.

At least not in Texas. As long as one person that is a part of the conversation knows it is being recorded, then it is legal without any permission to record and would stand up in court. It depends on the state.
