Using information from a website
Hi.
I'm currently writing a program that you install on your computer and it tells you when new versions of your software come out. I was planning to use softpedia.com to download a few htmls to find out the version number (it just extracts that information from the page), but I am wondering if that would be fair use.. because I'm pretty sure a version number (such as 2.02) is only fact.. and cannot be copyrighted. Any ideas? Thanks. |

Re: Using information from a website
You can say version number x--that is not protected, if that is what you are asking.

Re: Using information from a website
But what if I'm doing that directly from their site.. like the people who use my program connect to their site.

Re: Using information from a website
You can link but cannot hide it and cannot make it look like it is your information.
