 * This is not a copyright violation. This is a list of facts presented in their most obvious order. Just as a telephone book is not copyrightable (per Feist v. Rural), neither is this list. All of the elements that have any creative expression to them have been removed.  howcheng  {chat} 00:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * This is not a telephone book - that is slavish reproduction. Someone has gone to great lengths to collate this data, hence may claim copyright on the collection of information, and its presentation in that specific format.  That certain elements have been removed does not make a difference, as specific revisions still exist in the history that make this a derivative work.  I'm in favour of erring on the side of caution.  Chris cheese whine 01:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I understand the problem now. I think in the UK there still exists a "sweat of the brow" copyright -- as you state, someone went to a lot of trouble to compile this information. That's true, but even so, they're still just facts. Read the case details in Feist v. Rural please, see the "Implications" section. Hopefully after that you'll understand why this is not a copyright violation.  howcheng  {chat} 03:51, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I did. It is you, not me, missing the details here.  Clearly some editorial decisions were made, hence copyright subsists in the collection of data as a whole, which you have lifted.  Chris cheese whine 04:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No one can claim copyright in such a simple arrangement of basic public information. In any case rsssf exists solely and precisely to make football statistics widely available. Dominictimms 23:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They can (and in fact do) claim copyright over the collection as a whole, formatted in that particular way, with the specific editorial decisions they have made as for format, clarifications, and what counts for inclusion. More than enough creativity there.  Chris cheese whine 23:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * List of football (soccer) players with 30 or more international goals ([ history] · [ last edit]) - the other half of the same page. Chris cheese whine 01:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Doesn't look like a copyvio to me. It's a presentation of facts (not copyrightable) in their logical ordering (again, not copyrightable).  The name of the list isn't exactly NPOV, though -- it presents itself as a complete list, but only includes male players. --Carnildo 02:35, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. And it's good that the article cites the source, in case there was any question. — atchius (msg) 05:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * So do I. No one can have copyright in such a simple arrangement of readily available information. Anyone who wishes to publish such a list is free to do so. Futhermore, rsssf exists purely to make information widely available. Dominictimms 23:09, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
