Unless you really and truly edit the messages before they are posted, not
just allow or disallow them, I doubt you have much ground for claiming
copyright, as a list. A list isn't even a "person" unless you have
incorporated or done something of the sort which the courts will
recognize. If you want your list to own a share of the copyright, get the
list legally recognized, register the list name as a trademark, etc. In
other words, check your wallet then go see an attorney who specializes in
this stuff.
I suggest you take this up with the copyright list ([log in to unmask]),
though the last time I checked they were tending to avoid questions like
this. Be prepared, being a bunch of copyright attorneys they can be
pretty long winded and argue a tiny point to death. ;-)
