Seems t'me more a matter of ethics than copyright. One can easily
imagine some extremely undesirable mis-use.

to check out something related to me and click the "check pages
that link to this site" when I discover that a "forum" site has
copied stuff fron usenet postings and inserted it into their site
as "Peter D' (Guest) so as to imply that I asked (or answered) the
question on their site/forum. The I get curious and discover that
they've done the same to other people's postings. These are mainly
technical postings going way, way back some 10-15 years. It looks
like they used Deja-News and then Google (or maybe Google only) as
the source.
The question for the experts (or not so expert)? Is it copyright infringement on a grand scale? Certianly within Usenet there is an
implied permission to copy all or part of a message in order to
facilitate discussion and threading, maybe even caching and
storing such as Google News does, but to actually copy the
messages and represent them in another place altogehter?
