[talk-au] Copying address from business website?

[Michael Collinson]

A simple test is: Am I helping their business? If it is the venue 
business itself, then yes you are. If you take from a listing site - 
where their value is the list itself, then no you are not, you are 
potentially acting to its detriment.

FYI, your till receipts are another good source.
