Once you're a subscriber to the list, you're a member of the list community, and that means you're no longer "everyone in the world." Secondly, that is not the only issue I object to. If somebody subscribes and downloads the whole archive for their own personal use, I have no objections (though I can't see that they'd be very useful, myself). It's the republication of the content that is the problem, for three reasons: 1. it's a violation of copyright. 2. it allows the posts to appear out of their original context, which could potentially lead to misinterpretations. 3. it's profiting from content produced by other people without compensating those people in any way (let alone getting their permission to do it in the first place). -- David W.
