If someone was stupid enough to post anything on here that was usefull to their opposition in a court case, and the opposition's lawyer could prove it came from the person claimed (which is doable), it could absolutely be used against the poster in court.

As far as Copyright/Trademark issues, they only apply to the sale of material. And a lawyer could make an argument that anything posted on a public forum without being copywritten previously has been put into the public domain.
