What constitutes infringement of copyright laws is probably not appropriate
here.  Especially since the publisher (author) has given his/her permission
to duplicate his/her work to every machine on the net(s) that
electronically reproduces that work in it's entirety.  This discussion
really belongs in 'misc.legal' not 'news.admin'.

I selectively receive news articles here at 'ittg.UUCP' because my supplier
and I have agreed to transmit selectively.  Are inferring that one or both
of our machines is violating copyright?

Come on, let's get serious.
