Dear Liz,

Thank you very much for the explanation. 

I´ve just  understood that  when I asked for the article I was violating the copyright laws. I ´m sorry.

Yours faithfully

That means:  if you intend to "reproduce, distribute, perform, display or license" an article YOU HAVE TO GET JHL/Sage (publisher) PERMISSION FIRST.  Making a copy of an article, and giving it to your buddies at work or here on Lactnet, is a copyright violation.

ILCA members receive -- free, as a benefit of ILCA membership -- not only the print version of their excellent journal JHL, but on-line access to every full article ever printed in any JHL.  Remember: You cannot be making copies yourself for your buddies at work or on Lactnet ... but you will have access of your own, every day, to some of the most highly-esteemed lactation-related research on the planet.
