That is an interesting question, but I doubt you will get the final 
answer to that within a few 10s of years and/or without spending $$ on 
lawyers. There is a borderline between copyright and "freedom of 
gathering news" (the english term is probably a bit different), and 
newsgroups might be somewhere near that borderline.
