Cute, but inaccurate. I never have questioned the ability of list owners to set their own list policies (I am a member of a number of mailing lists with do-not-forward policies). Cypherpunks, on the other hand, is just a little different than a private, invite-only mailing list that's run by one person for a specific purpose on one server. -Declan On Sat, Apr 07, 2001 at 09:40:26AM -0800, Daniel J.

I find this hilarious coming from Declan, who once (WAAY back in 1997) closed one one of his previously open-subscription mailing lists because people were *gasp* forwarding messages from it to other lists. His list policy was, if I recall, "you own your words, no retransmission without your permission" and he was outraged that some of his subscribers, specifically Hettinga, did not respect these vital intellectual property rights.
Now when somebody else makes the same silly assertion he was making, he calls it silly. I guess we all grow up eventually....

The problem with Choate's argument is that (besides that it's silly), he gives implied consent to redistribute by posting here. Also, as he claims to know, CDR is by nature distributed, and each node can set its own policy. Dont' like it? Don't participate.
in response to Choate's:
I also own the copyright on everything I post to Cypherpunks. If it gets printed without my permission (and I won't give it) in a newspaper or other COMMERCIAL venture it is copyright infringement. You're free to post excerpts. I believe ~200 lines is the maximum allowed under current copyright law.
