Has this list developed a policy re: posting of copyrighted matter?

"Clear and blatant" is one possible standard.  

Should we be monitoring for observance of fair use limits?

It's not as much fun.  :(

Not as educational.  

It might highlight our future issues in a *real* way. 

If we attempt such a policy, or enforcement thereof, would we increase 
our liability ala Prodigy? 

Heck, while I'm at it, is it "libelous" to publicly characterize someone's 
act as "clear and blatant" copyright infringement? If so, what is an 
appropriate way to deal with such issues in online publishing forums?
