I know places like Oddity Softwares and such sell database of restaurant locations, business directories and such, but I have a general question. Let's say that I go to US yellowpage website, and manually copy the locations into my website for a niche category (Such as lawfirm), is it perfectly legal for me to do this? Instead of purchasing data, I'm planning to concentrate on niche markets with specific yellowpages directory software on my website and just copy and paste locations and names from local yellowpages directory. is this allowed? Thanks in advanced. I just don't want to get into trouble for this you know... I can't afford it lol.
Don't think it is as locations cannot be copyrighted etc. But doing it manually will take a lot of time.
