Google's terms and conditions are clear: you may not reproduce posts without
permission of the copyright holder (the author of the post). Legally there
is no discussion to be had on this point; neither in public nor private.
Philosophically, as Francis has alluded to, there's probably quite a lot to
discuss.

Where there is a legal discussion is on what the moderators do about the
fact that one of us has previously given Molly permission to reproduce posts
made to Mind's Eye on her blog. The question is what we do about this (given
that this permission was apparently not ours to give). This discussion only
relates to the indemnity of the Moderators and has nothing to do with the
actual group. Ultimately Molly may choose to carry on reproducing posts on
her blog, but, in my opinion, the Moderators should not be complicit in
this.

As a writer I value the protection of copyright laws, even if others do not.
