It is not so much copyright _law_ I would worry about as it is the issue _copyright_: Did you write it? If not, who did? Did you ask permssion to copy it? Get it in written form, signed? If not, flip a coin: you are on your own. As to your mor egeneric question, it would depend on the impact to J itself as to how relevan it is: I would rather see J contiue than not, which means I want the money involved with J to go to its originators as _they_ choose, not me or any one else.
