And I agree with David, this really looks like
you're just searching for
any excuse you can get to get rid of that list. Copyvio and OR are
almost diametrically opposed to each other as reasons to delete
something; copyvio means it's a direct copy of something creative that
someone else came up with and OR means it's something creative that was
come up with ''de novo''. They can't both be true. Accusing this
stuff
of being both in the same message seems like you're just throwing
everything against the wall to see what sticks.
I read Guy's argument to be "if collating the information is creative,
it's original research; if it's not, it's a copyright infringement;
either way, delete".
Which is reasonable.
The counter-argument is for how it can be non-creative and exempt from
copyright. I don't have that argument.
