[NTLUG:Discuss] Proprietary media morass

[Gilbert Morrow]

If it is not copyrighted material then no problem, I would assume it is not
since it was sent to you publicly, most material is copyrighted the minute
it is created, but, unless it actually is copyrighted by the author it's
not truly copyrighted. There should be a disclaimer attached to it if not
it is okay to use.
