Of course it doesn't mean that. If you post it, *someone* can scrape
it, if they're motivated enough. Raw factual directory data (which
this is) isn't copyrightable anyway; Feist v Rural makes that pretty
clear. If there's *creative* writing in the episode descriptions, then
maybe, but IANAL.
Cheers,
