Oh yes, then you're using the willful confusion argument. Looking and
reading are not the same as copying. Copyright law literally governs the
right to make copies.
Again, all I see here is people who don't want to bother paying for
material or asking permission (pirates and parasites), so they go round,
and round, and round, and round, and round with arguments about why they
personally shouldn't. Sorry, your feelings and your personal
convenience do not govern copyright law.

I see the internet/emails/ h-costume list as a group of friends. Someone

since we
live hundreds or thousands of miles apart, we scan the relevant
picture and
send to our friend to look at.
Is that copyright infringement or fair use? If the friend wants to
look at
the picture because they are merely interested in it, not if they are
planning on using it commercially. Often I have friends who are
looking for
an example of a piece of clothing, so we can go to our costume
mistress and
say, "Here is an example of the piece I want to wear."
Sigh. Every time anyone brings up copyright law, people then go on and
on about reasons why they personally should get an exemption from it.
Your being someone's friend does not give you an exemption, and your
offering something to several hundred people via an email list most
certainly does not give you an exemption.
