Mehmet,

I’m not your enemy here and I’m not your advisor, lawyer, antagonist.

But if you take my “publicly available information” that is bound by copyright 
and then reproduce that on an atlas that you make available to other people.  
Where have I seen that before?

https://www.itnews.com.au/news/pipe-settles-out-of-court-with-market-clarity-160382

That’s right.  Just because it’s publicly available doesn’t actually give you 
the right to reproduce.  If I wish to produce my network maps in low detail 
(rather than street level), image based (rather than CAD/KML) in my investor 
presentations then that’s my business.  There’s a reason I’m ok to reproduce my 
maps from data into a “presentation” is because that process is protected by 
copyright and actually means if you decide to reverse engineer same then you’re 
in breach and I can sue you.

So if the Superloop network turns up in your atlas then, well there’s a very 
good chance you’ve breached copyright.

***Details of settlement below****

PIPE Networks has settled out of court with Market Clarity over the analyst 
firm's allegedly unauthorised reproduction of detailed PIPE network maps in its 
research.

Chief executive of PIPE, Bevan Slattery, said today that Market Clarity had 
agreed to pay "a sum of money" to settle the matter.

The analyst firm also agreed to "reduce the detail" of their depiction of 
PIPE's network in Market Clarity's Australian Telecom Infrastructure Atlas 2009.

PIPE's network would now be "depicted in a 'logical diagram' fashion, and a 
disclaimer inserted to make plain that Market Clarity has not verified the 
accuracy of the maps".

Market Clarity was to also notify PIPE in advance of any proposed changes to 
the depiction of PIPE's network assets in the Atlas.

The settlement resulted from mediation ordered by the Federal Court, as 
revealed by iTnews.

"This settlement is not a reflection on the strength of PIPE's case, but rather 
that PIPE was able to obtain a satisfactory outcome without the time and 
expense of going to trial," Slattery said.

"PIPE values both its intellectual property and its reputation very highly. 
[We] will vigorously pursue anyone who it believes has infringed its 
intellectual property."

PIPE had lodged an application back in April for injunctive relief restraining 
Market Clarity from reproducing, licensing, publishing or communicating to the 
public maps of PIPE Networks' fibre optic cables.

We do not need more detail than what is publicly available. We do not plan to 
be a manhole-by-manhole network planning website.

We want people to see visually which networks are operationally having issues, 
that's it.

This is just a recent example of why carriers are, or at least should becoming

At least there is a potential client for you here :)

I was always told that is the case and when I asked my prior vendors in 
australia they kindly gave me these , so I would really love to see 1) the law? 
2) restrictions related to this anywhere public I can read to educate myself.

appreciate your help

I’m pretty sure everyone of those companies are not allowed to share their 
kml’s (without agreement between company’s) due to security reasons.

I can certainly say that of Superloop anyway.
