[HCDX] Serious EMWG (and WRTH, PAL, ...) copyright matter/violation

["Wolfgang Bueschel" <BueschelW@xxxxxx>]

Dear guy Tony Hudson, [editor of web site < www.mediumwaveradio.org >]

ooooh my GOD, what a plagiate I discovered on your longwave and medium wave
531-603 kHz online list today.

I've been on publishing & printing house matter business for over 45 years,
but I never have seen such a falsification word by word, top identical
text (Poland entry), same spacing, same slogan at DLF/DLR entries, same
parenthesis/brackets at Georgia entry, a.s.o.  a.s.o.

TO BE ASHAMED ON THIS MATTER.

PLEASE START YOUR
- OWN IDEAS,
- TEXT STRINGS,
- TEXT SELECTION CHOICE, and
- TEXT COMPILATION.

This falsification plagiate file will be covered worldwide in our next 
newsletter.

regards

Wolfgang Bueschel

> Dear all,
>
> As you know, the EMWG online version is updated very regulary, hoping to
> provide you constantly with the latest information and most accurate data
> on long and medium wave in Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
>
> The same goes for the Pacific Asian List, the WRTH on a yearly basis, and
> others.
>
> Without all of these lists, our DX lives would be much harder.
>
> I'm afraid all of these lists have now fallen victim to someone who
> believes he can simply violate the copyright of these publications.
> Tony Hudson, former webmaster of the Medium Wave Circle, has copied word
> for word much of these lists on his web site www.mediumwaveradio.org.
>
> Tony himself has admitted "The listing information was complied from a
> variety of sources" and states that copyright has not been violated as
> EMWG and WRTH have "no copyright over station frequency information as it
> is freely available in the public domain".
>
> If you have a look at his web site, I am sure that you will agree that
> copyright of these lists has indeed been violated.
>
> I have contacted his domain registrar to inform him of the copyright
> violation.
>
> It is sad to see that these types of things occur in our hobby. But with
> your continuous help and support, the owners of these lists will continue
> their hard work.
>
> I felt it necessary to inform you about this situation. Feel free to
> contact me, the WRTH/PAL, or even Tony himself
> (webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) if you want to react to this matter.
>
> Thank you for your attention.
