My two favorite comments thus far – the first from a
former Facebook engineer and the second from Dave Hyman, CEO Asia Mobile Number List
of MOG, my fave web music service: From Yishan Wong: Disclosure: I worked at Facebook, and was at one point involved with location-related products. This comment doesn’t contain any info about any such products, but relates some information learned about location data in general. — Here is the practical difficulty with creating such a database: The gathering of the data to create this database necessarily runs into murky legality issues. For comparison, Wikipedia is unable to straight-up import copyrighted data into its own corpus. “Fair use” doctrine doesn’t apply as easily to location data, because the amount of data needed to express an entity’s location (i.e. name + lat/long) is small
so it is difficult for someone who is trying to collect this data to say it is “fair use” when they are basically harvesting 100% of the show attribution (i.e. it’s not exactly an “excerpt”). Remember that even if you can make what you would consider a reasonable argument, any proprietary data provider is still going to sue you, because you are directly threatening their bread and butter. It’s a situation worse than Google scanning books, because this would make 100% of the data freely
