- dazzawazza 18y agoThis seems reasonable. However I seem to remember that the actual listings in the UK are 'owned' by some central authority (I forget who but it's got something to do with the Radio Times) and you license the right to publish them. While it's a fact that a show is on it's also content owned by some authority. This is where lawyers make their money.
- 0x44 18y agoMy apologies, the copyright laws of the UK are quite different than those of the US. I don't know whether or not facts can be copyrighted there.
