If they had wanted to keep their copyright intact, they shouldn't
have posted the information via an electronic medium. By doing that,
they effectively place it in the public domain. The principle is that
there's no possible way to control distribution, so copyright can't be
maintained. For example, by posting something to USENET, you lose all
legal recourse.
Bottom line? There's nothing wrong with posting the files. Besides,
GDW and Digest Group don't really have anything to worry about from us,
do they? We're on *their* side, right? :-)

Really? Is it that GEnie is suppying the account for free, or is C=
picking up the tab? If the latter, then GEnie shouldn't care.
