The law pertaining to data and websites.
Hi, I'm a wanna be android developer but this question is more about data.
I have assumed it's ok to publish an rss feed on my (commercial) website
I have assumed it's ok to link from an app to a website, even if the site isn't mine.
If the rss feed contains ( for example headlines , weather etc) from a commercial site, how much of that data can be reproduced from the rss feed.
I see there are apps in the marketplace that use NZ tv directories and format their data differently. The developer is ( i assume) foreign.
Whats are the rules, do I really need to go and talk to a lawyer. I know about open source data and having API access but there must be more to it. I'd like to make a cool app using NZ data but don't want to end up on the wrong side of the law as a result.
this could be a great topic for an article.
