Well actually, what I said is correct. When you say people are 'trying' to
copyright the guide data this is not fully true, it *IS* copyrighted data,
just because a piece of work is published online does not mean it cannot be
copyrighted.

Cheers,

Daniel.

Not entirely correct Daniel but yes you are right there are a number of
people trying to copyright program guide data as yet it hasn't been
tested in the courts.

I know from an unofficial discussion with Foxtel that for them at least
this is a low priority issue.

Cheers,
Dean
