What if the developer repackaged the app without the URLs for CBC included? If the user had to put the stream URLs into the app himself, would that placate the technically-challanged CBC?
- windsurfer 15y agoYes. That is the only legal way of using this content. The CBC forbids packaging any content from their site... which includes URLs.
- rhizome 15y agoThat's the kind of logic that would prevent Google Maps from displaying house addresses, which it does do.
- jarek 15y agoDoesn't Google own or license the information on house addresses?
- randomdata 15y agoThe CBC forbids packaging any content from their site... which includes URLs. If that turns out to be legally enforceable, the internet as we know it is over. The web is based entirely on the idea of packaging URLs from other websites.
- Kroem3r 15y agoMaybe, maybe not. But by starting out clearly infringing (abusing registered marks, etc.) the likelihood that anyone would do business with the dev is greatly reduced. PS. You ad hominem charge that the CBC is technically challenged is worth reconsidering.
