I am? How so? I don't recall any agreement allowing others to charge
for making copies of documents I own the copyright to.

To paraphrase an early comment "anyone with a cortex knows that
netnews is being shipped on CDROM". It's been going on for years, and
the people doing it have done nothing to hide the fact, in spite of
the persistent flame wars about it. I hardly imagine that anyone still
reading this list assumes that something they post doesn't become
possible fodder for a CDROM press.
