How you "see" doesn't matter. Even if the information is available to
"everybody" (meaning Yahoo group subsribers), the information is NOT YOURS
to make available. Whether or not you present the information in a different
manner is totally irrelevant, and certainly does not justify copyright
infrigement on your part.

Nor should you if you're using stolen information. Even if your site was
non-profit, what you're doing is still wrong. You're treading a thin legal
and ethical line, and you'll live to regret it if Yahoo should every take
legal action against you.

If you are sincere about it, then you should immediately remove all postings
stolen from this group, and include only the messages of those who opt in.
Canada recently passed a law making negative-option marketing illegal, other
countries may already have exisiting similar laws.
