I was just commenting about everyone that was about to lynch people for doing what has been a marketing technique for years. In fact, most content licenses I've ever read (and I just double checked a couple of mine), allow for it.

Ripping out all the content to post on the newgroups is theft but that's not what I was talking about. People have got themselves so worked up into a lather that they don't seem to be thinking before they post.

Some people are counting on the sales and traffic from the newgroups where they've posted their content for branding and marketing purposes.
