Okay.  But that makes me wonder why Zoner and people who post to 
r.a.a.creative have no problem with him archiving all their stuff 
without him requesting some sort of permission.  Would he be protected 
by the nature of the group, i.e. a moderated newsgroup is sort of like 
a magazine, and he's just storing back issues?

Posting to a newsgroup implies unlimited distribution.  So, anything found
there can be saved and given away, by anybody, to anybody, so long as it
is not modified.
