Just take a look at German regulations. They require websites to have an imprint including contact name and address. Additionally, website oweners can be held responsible for content on other than their own website that the site links to. See for example http://www.heise.de/tp/english/inhalt/te/1260/1.html or www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/hans-bredow-institut/ publikationen/apapiere/14liability.PDF and www.uni-muenster.de/Jura.itm/hoeren/INHALTE/ publikationen/Auteurs&Media-Article.pdf for some articles on the legal implications of the German "Multimedia Law".
So, technically, Henri as the BBS operator could be held liable if copyright infringement happens on this board and the copyright owner decides to pursue legal proceedings in that regard.
