I reply with the following form letter:

This is a form response, and I apologize for that, but it allows me
to respond quickly and promptly to messages that I would otherwise
have to skip if I had to compose an individual reply to each.

Your message indicates that you may find the Copyright FAQ to be of
interest. The FAQ is available for anonymous FTP from either of the
following two sites:

ftp site: ftp.netcom.com
directory: /pub/ca/carrollt/law/copyright/faq
files: part1-part6

ftp site: rtfm.mit.edu
directory: /pub/usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ
files: part1-part6

If you do not have direct access by FTP, the mit.edu site supports ftp by
mail; send a message to mail-server@rtfm.mit.edu with the following lines
in it:

send usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ/part1
send usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ/part2
send usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ/part3
send usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ/part4
send usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ/part5
send usenet/news.answers/law/Copyright-FAQ/part6
quit

I hope that this information has been of use to you.
