But the forum/email list does not have terms of use that transfer copyright from the writer to the owner of the server hosting the forum/email list. Literary works are copyright the writer unless they give up that copyright. But IANAL. Quoting short parts of a literary work with attribution is clearly fair use – at least in the jurisdictions I know about, there may be some jurisdictions in which this doesn't apply. Asking permission guarantees no future copyright case brought against you. -- Russel. =========================================== Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk
