I see Jamesday's position as nothing better than extreme copyright paranoia. It's important to respect copyright in clear cases, but where there is a serious and reasonable doubt we deserve to take a more favorable interpretation.
Since Jimbo would be the one in position to be sued, he should declare the level of risk that he wants to accept in this. If he is highly risk avers, than maybe someone else with appropriate software can put it on his site.
I agree with Ray completely. This is not problematic in the least.
Is this an official statement that the list can be reinstated?
I'll defer to community judgment following the usual procedures on deleting things. But I think the whole protest against it is confused and paranoid.
