I have a subscriber who is considering writing a book about her Internet experiences, which apparently is to include extensive use of material from my list archives: mainly threads she was involved in. She wonders if there are any restrictions on her ability to use this material -- she intends to ask the permisssion of parties concerned, but it might not be possible to secure the approval of all before publication. My understanding is that the status of the list is similar to public printed material -- it can be used within reasonable bounds. The list in question is fully public in all aspects, from subscriptions to the archives. Does anybody have some releavnt information or experience about this matter? Thanks, Taner Edis, SKEPTIC list owner
