Digital BW, The Print

Hello Everyone,

It is definitely not my intent to steal anything, and I do 
apologize if I offended anyone. My understanding of the copyright
issues is that each email author owns an implicit copyright of 
his messages, so I will indeed remove the messages of anyone who 
asks.

As for not asking the permission first, I will say this:

 - I thought (maybe naively) that these messages being posted 
   in a forum with unrestricted membership and public archives, 
   meant that the authors were intentionally sharing their 
   knowledge with everyone.

 - I would be difficult to ask permission to each individual 
   author. The old Dejanews and then Google groups are archiving 
   messages from usenet and mailing list without explicit authors 
   permissions, but allowing them to remove messages, so I thought 
   that it was an accepted practice.

 - in the future I will indeed try asking in mailing list whether 
   any member wants to opt-out before I include their posts.

I sincerely am trying to bring out something new and interesting
with the Photo Binbook, and I would be sorry to see many of the 
great contributors of this forum opt out. Yes we as a company 
hope to make money eventually out of it, just like Google tries 
to make money out of gathering links and usenet postings. 

In any case, I will respect the wishes of those who don't want to 
appear in the Photo Binbook.

Best regards,

Gregory
