[Air-l] Copyright issues on material transmitted to AIR-L

[jeremy hunsinger]

I tend to agree with Ed.  This list constitutes more of a publication and 
distribution system than a research system.  If it were a research system, 
and we distributed materials as we have done, then we would probably have 
to make the list password protected and moderated to some extent as lists 
for classes or lists for research groups usually are.
