I do not think that copying the Communique and DISTRIBUTING it is 
covered by Fair Use. I think that if a member wanted to scan a copy and 
make notes on it for his own use, that is covered by Fair Use.

CORSA is the copyright holder. CORSA can distribute copies of the 
Communique electronically. I even offered to produce an electronic copy 
of the Communique for promotional use. I also offered to mail sample 
copies to whoever asked.

You are entitled to your option. I am entitled to mine. Debating on this 
subject will not resolve the issue and will likely not  produce a 
positive outcome for either side if the issue. For that reason, I am 
happy to discuss it with you privately, but will not on VV.

Take care...
