I suspect that this steps over the line.  For those of us who deal with
large classes, most copyrights permit an occassional single copy of an
article or more copies of a part of an article, but not multiple copies of
an article  or  a significant portion of a monograph.
 
Popping an article down the net to hundreds of members of Bee-L seems to
be the same as making copies for everyone in a class - it can't be done
legally without the permission of the holder of the copyright.
