[talk-au] more copyright stuff

[Andrew Loughhead]

Wow, its bizarre. I mean, yes there is creative skill in selecting what 
shows are on when, but the valuable result of that is a sequence of 
shows, being broadcast, which sucks viewers in. The appeal judges seem 
to think that the valuable result is a list of shows. If all Nine 
produced was a carefully constructed list of shows, without actually 
showing them, and the viewing public stood around reading the list and 
saying "ooh, aah", then maybe I could get what the appeal judges decided.

But I think you are right Liz, it is relevant. I believe some osmers 
collect street names by exception, that is, they compare what a 
published map says with what street signs say, tick the confirmed ones, 
and when they see an exception, note it.  I think this makes their list 
a derived work and so is relatively high risk. A demonstrable survey, 
such as a set of geocoded photos of signs, seems clearly not derived, 
and so more bulletproof, to me. But then I've done almost none of that 
kind of survey myself, and consequently have added almost no names, so I 
suppose I don't have much cred on this.

2c supply now gone...
