Not true. The writer still owns the copyright to their own message.

As far as banning, if someone was sending a hundred messages a day 
saying that we are all sinners and should convert to Jesus (and I HAVE 
seen this happen in unmoderated newsgroups), do you think that it would 
be wrong to delete the posts and ban the user? If someone was 
continually violating copyright or libel laws in this list, do you think 
that the list owner should expose himself to legal jeopardy by 
continuing to allow it?
