We are talking about Usenet contributions, not those to your

I might choose to provide a short article free on a news group yet
charge if
the Daily Mirror wants to print it. What's the difference?
Certainly no one

You know that the nntp source is open, if you don't like that then
don't post messages to it. OTOH, if you really do think you have a
case I suggest you try and close Google down, they are doing what the
original site in question did on a much grander scale - and most
certainty making money out of their targeted adverts.
