This is what I hate about copyright. <br>
<br>
So if copying the name "Forest Lawn" or Campsite 19 from a map it's a
violation. What about copying the name from the official website? is
copying the name of the Ontario Science Centre from
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<a href="http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/">http://www.ontariosciencecentre.ca/</a>
a violation? (like I just did for this e-mail) What about standing
in front of the campsite post writing down the number? It's also also
a violation as I'm "copying" the number? What about remembering the
number? As I said below, being able to copyright maps is the
stupidest idea I've ever seen. Are the going to start copyrighting the
landscape so an artist can't draw it next? I'm sure someone's tried.<br>
<br>
Seems the only way to avoid copyright is to burn more holes in the
OZONE layer and drive over to the location and redo surveys already
done by several other people burning holes in the OZONE layer...<br>
<br>
Sorry... went on a tangent... <span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-) </span></span><br>

If I grab the camp site numbering off the reservations website and/or
campground maps would that be a violation of copyright?<br>

Yes, for sure. Shift the question to a more mainstream map: "If I copy
street names off a map, is it a copyright violation?"<br>
<br>
But, since this might be for business benefit, you could explain it to
the copyright holder (the camp site owner) and ask for the data<br>
to be licenced. Campground operators would only benefit from this. (The
province is a big operator too, but there is other considerations<br>
for ministries, unfortunately).<br>

question: Is it a violation to pull the names of object from google?
(ie: Forest Lawn Cemetery?) Does google have copyright traps like
purposely miss-spelling names to catch copyright violators.<br>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
Yes, it's a violation to copy stuff off of Google. Unless the person
who has the copyright waves it, it's a violation.<br>
<br>
OSM has always been on the conservative side of thing with this, and
rightly so.<br>
