:{{ping|Alanscottwalker}} If the questions you're raising are actually being disputed in practice rather merely in theory, then perhaps the relevant ''policy page'' might warrant discussion or clarification. However, I still don't think any such clarification is best raised in the context of asking the Arbitration Committee, which does not generally set policy, to parse or refine a principle written by a completely different group of arbitrators in a 17-year-old case.

:{{ping|Alanscottwalker}} Please note that I was not yet an arbitrator at the time of this case. [[User:Newyorkbrad|Newyorkbrad]] ([[User talk:Newyorkbrad|talk]]) 18:55, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
:{{ping|Barkeep49}} Although I am still unsure of the value of rewriting principles from old decisiondecisions, simply deleting the reference to copyrights as is being proposed should not create any risk. As I read the motion, the Committee is not saying that quoting an e-mail on-wiki always violates the author's copyright or never violates the copyright—both of which would be overbroad and therefore untrue statements—but is simply not addressing the issue, since there is no need for it to do so.
