The permission >must be noted on the posting. my understanding is somewhat different i believe that the copyright regulations are intended primarily to deter copying 'for profit' once the article is available 'in the public realm' i.e. the day it is published and 'on the street' i think it then has become 'fair game' unless i try to make money from it for instance if i included a reuters news report in a book i wrote and then sold that book for a profit i would have to obtain permission [at a price] or be sued if there is no profit involved and the copying is for private use i cannot see that there would be a problem copying for the list is not 'publishing': it would be the same as photocopying something from a newspaper or a book for a friend i can't imagine that reuters would be interested in answering those kinds of requests for distribution permission your cyber-sibling in sharing janet janet paterson 51/10 - sinemet/selegiline/prozac almonte/ontario/canada - [log in to unmask]
