Thanks to all for clarifying the situation.
I was not aware, that such services exist.

Hi Christian,
I really do not want anything being mirrored. So my questions are (to you
and the MusixTex community):
(1) Who is behind gmane.org and mail-archive.com, who are already
mirorring our mail?
gmane isn't just mirroring - its primary purpose is to convert an email list to
NNTP (news).
(2) Does anyone see any benefit in these mirroring activities?
I don't use it personally, but I know from other lists of plenty of people who
use gmane as their preferred mailing list reader.
(3) Have they been authorized by" Werner Icking Music Archive <tex-
mu...@tug.org>" to do so?
This is a public mailing list with no restrictions on signing up: IANAL, but no
authorisation is required to use the unaltered content of the list further
(certainly in the UK and the US).
(4) How can they do this technically and legally?
They have probably signed up a bot to the mailing list. Legally, see (3).
(5) What can we do to stop this and remove our mails from these sites?
Personally, I find mail archives useful for this and many other lists which I
am on (and find it slightly daft that a public mailing list restricts its
mailman archives to subscribed users). In my opinion, the only (unfortunate)
issue here is that you hadn't considered that this is a public list. Equally,
my home address (being also my business address) is on my website, so my
paranoia regarding email signatures is somewhat less than yours! :o)
