As was posted earlier, the contract that subscribers agree to disallows posting of their information to newsgroups or mailing lists in the case of WSJ and most pay-per-view sites. In addition, what is the full context of that brief statement you pulled out of "copyright law"? That part of the law refers to the ability to "quote" part of a story, not the piece in its entirety, which requires permission from author/publication or whomever owns the rights. And finally, though not legal, pure Netiquette also says quote part of the article and include a link to the whole article. Although this has no legal basis the above statements do. If you go to an "all-you-can-eat" restaurant and start sneaking plates of food out to your family and friends that is stealing. Taking copy from a pay site and giving it to thousands of people is not different, just easier. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
