Something for us all on here to consider, i found this article today while researching copyright laws Public Domain: Facts and Ideas
Read and tell me what you think ?

Sounds reasonable to me. However I believe there is a marked difference between duplicating a factual document with neither permission nor attribution, and copying mere facts. IANAL, but I'd have thought that the former was a breach of the copyright holder's rights.

I guess one analogy could be a journalist writing about some set of facts, and then another journo nicking the article and claiming that it contained facts, so unauthorised duplication is OK

Just my 2p worth.

One to use in court anyway should you get any trouble over duplication theft ?

Though i do try to use original or public domain.

Thanks !!! for looking Philipp.

If i copy and paste some facts, i add my own wording or redo some lines and change the layout.
Just a few changes counts as creative expression ( I think ) ?

It depends what you're trying to achieve, if you want to put together a useful resource then you need to read around the subject and write some original material about your findings.
