Now, if people would stop posting copyrighted material without permission - maybe that policy would change. As to your questions Bone, they allow you to email articles to individuals because they hope to gain a new subscriber by your doing so. Supposedly the person receiving the email will become interested in CW by reading the article and thus subscribe themselves.
