[Corpora-List] Legal aspects of compiling corpora

[delucca at nilc.icmc.usp.br]

Dear all,

I am gratefull with the large number of replies to my question.

"On the one hand, if your enemies are rich enough you'll lose."
(A.Kilgarriff). Your words are hard. If I will lose many people and
organisations will lose! Based on your words apparently I am the
villain of the web!!

The Internet Search Engines storage millions of data without no
one cent for them.

The BNC and other concordancers uses and abuses of a corpus from which nobody
knows who are the authors and the BNC nor mentions ones when shown its
concordances online. Them have not enemies?

The BNC Corpus is free of charges? No. The Permissions Clearance at
http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk/what/permissions.html is
contradictory with the following text at
http://www.hcu.ox.ac.uk/BNC/getting/ordering.html

Why is legal storage texts in WordSmith Tools, MonoConc and other concordancers
but is not legal storage web pages in an online software like Dictionarium?
Where is the difference?

Finally, it should be noted that the Dictionarium Project is free of charge.
