Nowhere on Usenet is there a message about all out messages becoming the property of , well, public property as it would be on Usenet. In fact, the copywright las laws now sa state that what we write is our unless we SAY it is public domain. Therefore, you could get in alot of trouble uploading to Genie, which has on its screens a message about things posted here belonging to them. Take it down (the uplink) Dave, you're in for alot of headaches....
