[MilCom] News: RadioReference receives a Cease and Desist Demandfrom the Civil Air Patrol

[Jeremy Patrick]

I did a quick search at that document (or what appears to be the same general content) came up on a number of google listings.  So... if it is publicly available then reposting it on RR makes what difference?  
Overall I would be curious on what legal stance they are actually claiming.  Seems more of a power push but with an unclear reason.  The one word that did catch my eye was 'commercial' use. Correct me if I'm wrong, but RR content doesn't fall under a 'commercial' umbrella right?
Section 5 of the RR terms and conditions even specifies that the user not RR is responsible for the posting.  But that goes back to the whether the posting is actually publicly available. 

Would be very curious to see what grounds they are standing on, but also don't want Blanton to get caught up in tons of red tape.

So, is that yet one more idiotic thing to ignore since everyone else can 
listen in as they please anyway?
