[ih] Cluster Addressing and CIDR

[David P. Reed]

Fair use is explicitly part of copyright law.   History is clearly a policy 
goal of fair use.   IANAL, but I would expect that there is precedent 
protecting people who share personal archives of documents for the purpose 
of historical research.

Just a reminder from someone dedicated to educating people that copyright 
includes rights of fair use, as well as other exceptions.   Electronic 
rights are complex, as well.  The Internet crosses jurisdictions, and 
documents such as IDs are published in many locations at once, so the right 
to "unpublish" is determined by jurisdiction.

IMO, standing behind copyright really distorts the issue of desirable 
dissemination of knowledge and scientific knowledge, in particular.
