That was a good post by you also, Laby. I just think that the subscription-only newsletter is propietary information and it should only be posted here at the desire or with the permission of the newsletter organization.

The same argument can be made for subscription newspapers, and indeed any newspaper that is sold to the public. Although I'm not 100% certain, I don't beleive that the copyright laws prohibit the limited, non-commercial reproduction of copyrighted material for discussion and debate, particularly when the copyrighted material concerns matters of public concern or interest. The rules become even more complicated when the copyright holder leaks or encourages the disemination of the protected material, and then screams and yells when the material is discussed in a public forum.
