That's the part that makes my chin itch.  :)  You'd require people to 
find you and come to you to request that you locate and remove the 
said files, which is why I made the statement about the CoCo TV video 
disc, in case you were planning to add extracts from it.  Also, the 
owner of the CoCoNutz newsletter/e-zine may have concerns as well 
about the distribution of those items outside of the agreed places on 
the web from which they are being offered at this time.  I have a 
major concern about 3 goofy adult animations which I ported from the 
IBM back in the 90's which I do not ever want to be distributed on 
the web, and as far as I know, with fingers crossed, they are not 
posted anywhere.  Ofcourse, they probably exist onthe CoCo Collection 
CD, which you seem to want to add blindly to your archive, no?

I'd research each and every file you obtain and not automatically 
assume that since you had access to it that it's free to distribute 
elsewhere.  Ofcourse, with the web being wide open like this, the 
world is not a safe place anymore, so everything seems to be up for 
grabs these days.
