It's a protection against the DMCA and other such oppressive bullshit. It's
not a public mailing list...legally
it's owned by someone, and has rules, violation of which (I guess this
applies to this list, it does for most) can result in banning. You agree to
a TOS contract by joining the list, so anyone on the list is privileged.
(I'm assuming, based on my understanding of contract law.)
