There is a fact that when you sign the order form for copies of a file in the BA-MA, you agree not to publish these coipes or to pass on duplicates of these to other persons. Of course a lot of you guys out there doesn't give a damn about this.... and some of you do. But the key question is: What right does these institutions have to make you sign these documents? The answers would be interesting to know.

The right of ownership. You don't have to sign their documents - but then they won't sell you the copies. That's their privilege.
