Technically, in the U.S., it's a violation of copyright to give someone a
copy or facsimile of copyrighted material unless you obtain permission from
the publisher or author, depending on which owns the copyright. I'm not
sure what the European copyright laws say on the issue. In the US, a
violation exists even if you don't charge money. Suppose, for example, you
were to post the article on a web site. Even though no charge is made for
accessing the article you are appropriating the right of the copyright
holder to control distribution of his materials.
