If you don't want your posts archived, then don't post to usenet. I
know of others who archive groups that include the xarchive msg to
Google so they don't pick them up. But if they're still on the
server for the world to see, it's basically a freeforall and to
complain about it is a waste of time.
Comparing copywritten material like 'Take It Easy' to posts on
newsgroups is ridiculous, as there is no copywrite involved. Nobody
owns these posts...
I agree. I mean, pick and choose your fights. If you don't want to
be archived, put the correct line in the post so you won't be. If
that is the biggest worry someone has in life, they've got it made.
My point is Kathy, that Google (previously DejaNews) isn't the only
archive out there. You put your antiGoogle line in the post doesn't
mean it's not picked up elsewhere. Anyone can download and save
indefinitely anything posted on usenet and use it for whatever reasons
they wish (and trust me, they do).
It's like a billboard along the highway. I can take a picture of it and
get a copy made, then send it to whomever I wish. Nothing illegal about
that and really not much different, other than the fact someone actually
paid to have that particular billboard put up...
