Of course there is no copyright on the *information* itself.
But when person A takes that information and, in order to make it useful and comprehensible to others, has written it up in his/her own words, and then person B lifts *those exact words* and presents them as if they were his/her own work - that is where the infringement occurs.
There is of course nothing to prevent person B trawling round the same multifarious sources as those used by person A (or indeed other sources), and producing their OWN version of events listings. However, if this had been the case you would expect that the events featured and the words used might vary slightly.
The only differences that I can see here is that I have recently added some new events, and person B does not seem to have woken up to that fact yet...

No problem Angela.
And can I just remind anyone who needs reminding, that dual ID's are not allowed on this forum, and that sock puppets (should there be any around) will find their membership disapproved.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

But RH, we poor caravan dwellers only have one computer and do say who we are in each post. Then there is the nice point that he and I are identical twins whom not even are wives could tell apart and thereby hangs a tail (sic). Now as for poor little Randy, well...![Devil [6]](/cs/emoticons/emotion-14.gif)

As far as I know the copyright law in France is the same as the rest of Europe, and this has been broadly the case since the Berne Convention was signed in the 1880s (I think). An attempt was made to harmonise the rules a few years ago - as a result UK law changed in some details, such as it no longer being strictly necessary to use the copyright symbol, and it becoming very difficult for a publisher to claim copyright (though many will try) - that, as you rightly say, rests with the originator.
In a case like this it is of somewhat academic interest, because it is highly unlikely that any financial loss will have been suffered as a result of the copying. It is much more a lack of common courtesy and, apparently, ignorance of both correct practice and normal ettiquette among authors.
Happy birthday anyway, dragonrouge.
