And it isn't right. But there is a fair use doctrine. And it is somewhat different to make one copy to share with a co-worker whom you could have (legally) loaned the magazine or newspaper to; it is entirely another to give copies to thousands of people who wouldn't otherwise be able to read it unless they or somebody they knew bought the original. After all, some people depend on others buying their work for a living. How long could the Wall Street Journal stay in business if only one person in the US bought a copy and they posted the whole thing on the web for everybody else in the country to read? Extreme, but once you start that way, where does it stop?
