Well I never saw any copyright notice anywhere in the document (which yes I
know doesn't mean it is not copyrighted). Secondly BT were aware this
document was already "out there". But more importantly, it is a document of
significant public interest and last I checked I am pretty sure Copyright
doesn't apply to journalistic use of works (although I am happy to be told
otherwise).

Oh I almost forgot. With regards posting the full report to Wikileaks it was simply the first place I thought of. I got home with the loose pages in my hand having read them on the train and realised I needed to get them into the pubic domain as soon as possible<br>

Just playing devil's advocate for a moment, if we're going to list lengthy sets of legislation which BT may or may not have broken as part of the trial, do we want to try listing the legislation that posting someone else's copyright document might fall foul of?<br>
