Intellectual property protection is not merely for the benefit of

could happily be posting Finale on my website. The exchange of money
doesn't make MakeMusic's copyright somehow more important than yours
or mine. The terms of my postings on this list are that it is, as it
says on the subscription page, a private list. At no point did I
hand over rights or give permission for third-party distribution of
my writing, however inconsequential it may be -- not to
opensubscriber.com or archivum.info or mail-archive.com, not to the
list owner, and not through the list subscription contract itself.
Sounds like you need to get your intellectual property lawyer
involved.
That's exactly why these people think they can get away with this --
it takes a lawsuit to force them to act.
That's wrong.
And ethical actors who are concerned about acting legally shouldn't
be doing what's right only when under threat of lawsuit.
I agree it's wrong, but complain all we want to, it's usually a lawsuit
that gets most business people to do the morally proper thing.
