Re: Address

[Harshal Chhaya <hchhaya@epsilon.pair.com>]

This has been a very information thread so far. I have a couple of 
questions - one very relevant and one only slightly so. 

 - Almost all the on-line phone directories (for the US) have disabled 
such "reverse" lookup (searching the address using the phone number) due to 
privacy concerns. And rightly so. If you have the phone number, isn't it 
possible to call up the person to whom the number belongs and ask for the 
address ?

 - Is there anyone on the list with knowledge of India copyright laws ?
Particularly, when applied to public databases. The US and some European
countries consider information like telephone directories as public
resources and do not consider it copyrightable. As such anyone with
access to such info can publish it. Does Indian copyright law treat
such information similarly ? Any lawyers on the list ?
