<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Back to the issue, as PRJ suggests, citing
the source provides another protection which is that the information you get
from a particular source may be incorrect.&nbsp; For example, I have found that
the Steinway research department and Pierce do no always agree on the dates of
manufacture.&nbsp; If you are writing an appraisal it might be wise to cite the
source so that you are not held liable for providing incorrect information.&nbsp;
Also, since there are multiple sources for this type of information how would
you possibly determine a breach of copyright had occurred (even if the
information itself was copywrited&#8212;which I&#8217;m inclined to believe
from my legal resources that it is not).</span></font></p>
