"Although web pages and email messages are protected as soon as  
created, copyright registration is needed before U.S. owners can  
bring suit. Also, prompt registration provides remedies that make  
lawsuits affordable. Statutory damages of $150,000 (or more, and  
attorney fees) for willful infringement can be obtained if published  
works are registered within three months, or unpublished works are  
registered before they are infringed."

"Notice on individual email messages (if blanket notice is not  
provided, say, in a welcome message) may also be useful. Something as  
straight-forward as "Please do not forward this message without  
permission" should be legally adequate and honored by recipients."

Note that persons outside the US do not need to register their works  
in order to bring suit.

Shawn, as usual, you don't have the knowledge to take part in any  
technical discourse, and have demonstrated a blatant disregard for  
the legal rights of other list members who have sent you offlist  
email.  I do believe you received an email with a specific copyright  
declaration, stating you do not have permission to publicly  
distribute it, regardless of its commercial value.  Your actions  
speak for themselves and I do believe you've made several kill  
filters here today, as well as opening yourself to litigation, then  
bragging about it on a public forum.

Enough is enough.  I think most people have now read between the  
lines of your shenanigans.

Folks, don't feed the troll - either off-list or on.
