I think Rape is a very accurate term here, I would suggest that any posting to
groups that this will happen to simply include copyiight notices in each posting
explicitly allowing nonprofit reproduction, and forbidding any reproductionn
for sale or profit.

  THis would put GEnie in a very unhappy situation if any of
the posts were not removed, of being responsible for copyright violations. Bein
A for profit service like that has a lot to loose, and not that much to gain.
