That's a BIG job!
We were trying to get all the pubs in the Good Pub Gide entered, but CAMRA said the info was copyright and would not let us use it.
Very shortsighted in my opinion CAMRA!! Evil or Very Mad

I cannot possibly see our Camra can claim copyright on a property location that they do not own, effectively the location of any pub is in the public domain and if you ask any pub landlord I am very shore they would welcome any further publicity for their premises, Copyright is a very difficult thing to prove believe me Ive been there and it cost me a lot of money after discussions with barristers etc and having to settle for legal costs out of court (I was the victim by the way which virtually proved I was wronged), I would imagine anybody who claims copywrite on POIs would have a very difficult claim to prove.

Try telling that to the guys here... they definitely claim copyright on the camera database files and they are based on information that is in the public domain....

I can only say it as I see it (been there,Done that) I dont blame anybody for claiming copyright but proving it is another matter, It cost me approx £2000 to spend 25mins on a three way conversation with a london barrister in my solicitors office telling me that i did not stand an hope in hells chance of winning despite another company blatantly using my electrical designs to manufacture for my prevouse customer and issued my drawings to the customer with their name on and including my spelling mistakes and other incorrect, the estimated costs would be £12000 -£15000 to recover about £5000. whats the loss in a free POI database???

How on earth can they say it's copyright?!?!?! Even if it were surely they want as many people to easily find their members pubs. Don't they campaign for real ale and try to get people to go to their members pubs. Surely this is an ideal way to do it!?

Hopefully LionUk you've explained the benefits and they see the light! Wink

At least its a response LionUk, you can only wait and see, But it only takes one input to start a sub category, you never know it could be full by the time they make a decision.

I've got the Good Beer Guide (Protz), but I was actually referring to the work already done by "emdeeme" in THIS THREAD. He mentions using the "Good PUB Guide", but the project got stopped in its tracks because "oldie" had a reply from CAMRA saying they weren't allowed to use the info.

Do you think the difference between the two books is significant, then? Could we use one and not the other?

Andy, If you can find a driver perhaps we can do a survey and input from actual locale(s), It might get a bit out of location later, and we may have to do a resurvey backwards, you never know pgpsw may offer to pay expenses.
