8.3.  Liability

   There is a presumption that a poster who sends an article to Usenet
   intends it to be stored on a multitude of serving agents, and has
   therefore given permission for it to be copied to that extent.
   Nevertheless, Usenet is not exempt from the Copyright laws, and it
   should not be assumed that permission has been given for the article
   to be copied outside of Usenet, nor for its permanent archiving
   contrary to any Archive header that may be present.

   Posters also need to be aware that they are responsible if they
   breach Copyright, Libel, Harassment or other restrictions relating to
   material that they post, and that they may possibly find themselves
   liable for such breaches in jurisdictions far from their own. Serving
   agents may also be liable in some jurisdictions, especially if the
   breach has been explicitly drawn to their attention.

   Users who are concerned about such matters should seek advice from
   competent legal authorities.
