Why don't you just make your own and use that?!

aaarrrgghhhh. Because you can't! The fixture itself is copyrighted!

In theory you could collect all the information from public knowledge sources, but you'd have to prove you did that. Which would be hard. And expensive.

Same way there can be private phonebooks (thomson directory, etc) - same info, two sources.

I really would n't know that, MYOB.

For the record, here are the emails from the football league AND BHA.

Hi Lee,

I have spoken with the Football League and the information given to you by Dataco is not strictly true - you would still need a license.

Regards

Tim

Hi Lee,

We will actually be releasing official wallpapers in the near future, and we will be happy for you to link to these from NSC.

Hello

I hope I've come through to the right department. Could I please have permission to copy out Brighton's fixtures onto a suitably Albion background and stick it on Northstand Chat for fellow Albion fans to use as well?

I promise that there's no money in it for me.


Thankyou

Lee Burrows

Right, so you'd be foolish to sell a nifty fixture list wall-poster outside FA HQ but if you want to have the fixtures up on your PC i really can't see how anyone can stop that?!

You are assuming that the FA see everything happening, right under their very own noses?

See West Ham.

Indeed- the fuckers can't spot the Tevez nonsense and turn a blind eye to this whole Thaskin/Man City debacle but WILL prosecute me for a copyright infringement!!

I'm bent over...come get me!

read the email. I told BHA I wasn't selling it and the answer was still no.

Yes, you can do it.. Just know that it's illegal. Even for no financial gain.
