That's not copyright. You can still enforce a licence on the data you provide. E.g. Exchanges do this all the time with market price data.

- tomp 11y agoNot sure about that... In general, if you buy a stolen car, it's still stolen, and while you won't be held criminally responsible, you'll still lose your money. I guess it's the same with data licences.
- Dylan16807 11y agoIt's not really a license on the data. Data licenses are based on copyright laws, and grant permission under them. Instead it's a contract with a nondisclosure clause, and contracts only bind the participants. It's also not a trade secret, with access being sold so openly.
