I know that if I post it on a public board, I would be a criminal then.
Only if there were people on the public board who weren't your friend. Also if you have a falling out with said friend, the copy becomes illegal, since that person is no longer your friend. Copyright is all about friendship. Just make sure everyone adds you as a friend to their Facebook account, and you're in the clear.
