I wouldn't bet my account on it. First of all, it's not MIT "getting away with this". The only reason that that message has an eddie.mit.edu ID is that the ARPANET mailing list it came from is gatewayed to the USENET at mit-eddie. The poster, and his real address, is in the attribution line. I'm not claiming that it's any better to float copyrighted source around the ARPANET than around the USENET; I just want mit-eddie kept out of it...
