Couple thoughts . . .

According to basic copyright laws, creators retain the sole copyrights to

their creations unless they have expressly relinquished their rights to

them.  We have institutions in place to insure authors rights, given the

right legal steps are taken.  Therefore, I do not think that placing them

there would impy they become the "property" of anyone.  However, those who

choose to place files there should at least be prepared to consider their

uploads "public domain".  If this is not something the author is willing to

do then they should not be sharing them in this way.  It would also be

considered a tad tacky for anyone to use things there as their own.  So its

all a bit hazy . . . use it at your own discretion.  I believe the ftp is

more for sharing ideas and learning from one another . . . not intended for

gleaning other people's work to be incorporated as your own (with exceptions

to audio and where otherwise noted by authors) . . . so share if you have

something you feel you want to share but you cant have it both ways really.

Just thoughts . . . no I have no "claim" on them in any manner or sense of

the words and certainly trademarks and things which have reserved rights

attached to them would not defer in ownership in any way to an administrator

or ftp user.  Hope that clarifies . . .
