Im not a lawyer, and especially not an American lawyer, but what you
say seems reasonable. Us authors are naturally rather keen on
copyright, of course.  On the other hand, forwarding interesting
articles to a friend is a very common practice. The whole concept of
an on-line journal is a new one to me. I wonder how different this is
from taking a traditional-style journal, xeroxing a paper, and
sending it to someone else.
