Long boring thread again. I just want to note that simply putting an online dictionary service on the web does not need any permission from the copyright holder of the dictionary data. So for example I can buy an Aryanpour dictionary, extract the data, and write a web program that you can query the meaning of a particular word, and it would return to you the meaning.
The important point here is that, for this to be legal: * You should have obtained your copy of the information legally, eg. bought the CD. * You should not redistribute the data, eg. no "download dictionary here". Last but not least, IANAL (I Am Not A Lawyer). behdad PS. I know at least one online dictionary service that is claiming to be legal in this way. They do not service to the public still because they are not sure about the validity of the above argument. _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
