International copyright law is a complex subject and one on which I am not
qualified to make any ruling on. If someone wants to take up the issue with
an expert in international law and get a ruling then they are free to do
so. I would be happy to provide any background to them. I am sure such
legal advice would not come cheaply.

Nobody is being deprived of income or disadvantaged in any way due to the
publication of Fidonews in various media outside the traditional BBS so it
is all just pointless talk and bluster.

If I was the Fidonews editor I would make it a condition of publication
that the author agreed that any articles submitted could be published in
Fidonews in any media. Authors would still hold the copyright to
publication of their articles outside of Fidonews.

Best wishes,
Malcolm
