The entire reason for Genie's being is to suck up your paycheck... thus they
would look upon such an enterprise with disfavor...
 
To everyone else, arguing the "compilation copyright" question, the point
is moot...  GEnie DOES claim a compilation copyright on their entire contents
but this is not where they'll get you.  Read the fine print of the GEnie
customer agreement, and you'll find that they can kick you out if they don't
like the way you part your hair, or if they find you "sucking up" their
programs, or making fun of Neil Harris behind his back... anything.
 
... and they DO it...
