Title: Re: [GWL]: OK, I'm available
With All due respect to Nan's comments and her suggestion about cutting and
pasting items into our postings....isn't cutting and pasting articles from
the NY Times a violation of their copyrights?  As freelancers and columnists
we may have our qualms with the way papers like the Times may treat us...they
too have rights under the law and if we don't defend those rights why should
they defend ours?

Good question, Andrew.  Folks do this all the time on the various listservs I participate in.  I have also noticed that every newspaper website and many other websites provide an option for the user to have the article emailed to someone else.  I wonder if there is any difference between having the website email the article and an individual emailing the article?  Looking at the LA Times site, for example, it appears that I could have the website email articles to this listserv's address.  I suspect that the email would then be propagated through the list just as other messages are.   I could test that if everyone wouldn't mind...

Anyone else have any suggestions about how we can email each other articles in situations like the NY Times where you cannot provide a direct link to the article?
