Is there not a significant difference between telling someone something you
read in a book . . . .
and trying to sell it and pass it off as your own . . .
The later would be the copyright issue . .

Happily telling customers the age of their piano . . maybe I should make
them buy the book ???

I guess I missed that! But I did search the archives to find the very
threatening letter by Mr. Ashley. And that's all it was. It's been more
than 12 days and I am still finding Atlas information in the archives, from
1999! You guys better comply!
If you can't post the year on the list, then you may e-mail me privately.
Giving me the year is no different than letting your customers know the age
of their piano. You are not infringing on the copyright by giving the
year. But I did see in the archives where some people here were giving
actual information compiled and written in the Atlas.
If you cannot give me the year due to copyright, then we had better erase
that information from our client database systems!

Mr Todd,
I guess you missed the legal copyright notification posted here by none
other than the Pierce publisher that we ain't s'pose ta' be postin'
copyrighted info like that here on the list. Check the archives. It was a
coupla months back. It was big. Very annoying. Let's not start that again.
