Hello Mr Von Rospach:
Thanks for your explanation on copyright. The key paragraph in your
letter seems to be this:
"There is absolutely no way a public archive of a mailing list done without
the permission of the list owner would be considered fair use. None."
I had not realized the list owner actually "owned" the material
contributed to the list under the international copyright rules. I
seem to be the only one (so far) who considers this a novel idea.
Keep in mind that unfair laws, eventually tend to be ignored by
reasonable people.
And I guess I need to go make those explicit (sigh), to save having
these discussions in the future.
I believe if you are less demanding of approval, less authoritarian,
less heavy handed with any dissent, you may find the list easier to
police.
Best Wishes (and good luck): Douglas Wagner
