Over that few months of reading news on Usenet, I have read many interesting press reports on world news which never seem to make it the US newspapers. I am very glad for these posting. Usenet provides an good means informing a select interested readership of events of little interest to the average person buying or selling newspapers. However is there a risk involved. What is the official net view of posting copyright material on usenet. Is it possible to get permission from AP, UPI and Reuters.
