Would it not be possible to add a disclaimer (as is done in most companies
these days) at the end of each generated email as well as in the intro of
the archives page. This would direct persons recieving emails and those
looking through archives as to what is expected as "proper use".
Cheers

Here is an example ... feel free to add, delete or modify.
Just a thought!

Subject: Re: Internet research, Copyright and WIPO
Hello All,
Somehow it seems tempers are flaring up, assumptions
are being made and however interesting all this exchange
of opinions is, I find it unrelated to the objective of
the list.
My personal opinion aside, I checked what the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) had to say.
http://www.wipo.org/about-ip/en/index.html?wipo_content_frame=/about-
ip/en/copyright.html
(you may have to cut and paste the previous lines)
>Copyright and Related Rights
>What is copyright?
>Copyright is a legal term describing rights given to
>creators for their literary and artistic works.
>
>What is covered by copyright?
>The kinds of works covered by copyright include: literary
>works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works,
>newspapers and computer programs; databases; films, musical
>compositions, and choreography; artistic works such as
>paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture;
>architecture; and advertisements, maps and technical drawings.
http://www.wipo.org/copyright/en/faq/faqs.htm#ideas
>Are ideas, methods or concepts protected by copyright?
>Copyright protection extends only to expressions, and not
>to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical
>concepts as such. This principle has been confirmed by the
>Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property
>Rights (TRIPS Agreement) of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
>as well as the WIPO Copyright Treaty.

>WIPONET
> Objective:
>To provide the necessary network infrastructure and services
>for improved information exchange among the global intellectual
>property community.
This is where I believe the arguments being presented should be
discussed.
You can draw your own conclusions from the above material.
I am sure we would get into semantics, epistemology and who
knows what else in the interpretation of it.
In the meantime,I have however sent an email to WIPO asking
them whether email is copyright. I'll keep you posted.
Cheers!
