[AusNOG] AUSNOG in the news

[Mark Stewart]

It becomes a matter of copyright and who has ownership. Having it publicly open with no real copyright definition and what you can and can’t do with the information is up for debate.

At least when you have a disclaimer, it protects copyright and ownership of the information within. Speculatively, breaching the disclaimer means breaching copyright laws and no one in their right mind would knowingly breach copyright laws just the sake of a story. Well, I would hope not…

But getting back to your question, yes it can be enforced through the courts, if it got that far, if the disclaimer was worded in a way in which to protect copyright and ownership of the information contained within.

and how do you propose that that be enforced? You can't enforce it, you can make it members only and still not enforce it since anyone can sub to the list then access it, and thanks to likes of gmail/hotmail/yahoo etc, you'll have absolutely no idea who it is, so all this talk although entertaining, is kinda silly and waste of bandwith :)

One suggestion is to put a disclaimer before being able to access the public archives stating that permission will be required before using this content blah blah blah legal speak.

It can still be publicly accessible, just some guidelines should be set for people wishing to quote the content without permission or used out of context.

Similarly, the charter might need to reviewed to cover off any potential issues which may occur in the future.

You could still gain access to the archives, but only under the conditions of your subscription, conditions which reflect the openness of the list, without the risk of being quoted by the media.

There's no reason why a journalist couldn't still subscribe to the list, however they wouldn't be able to use the content of the list without approval from the mods, and the author of the email.
