    I have started up a parcel comparison website and need some advice, am I allowed to take information from parcel sites? I need prices and weight.

    Please advise

    Cheers

    If you're just taking the prices and weights down these are universal facts that aren't specifically owned by a person or company. I can't see why taking prices and information would bring you any problems for your parcel comparison site.

    If you start stealing content like product descriptions, or product reviews from other sites, then you'll probably run into trouble. But as far as just using the weight and price you should be fine.

    I agree with Le Dangles... Just be sure you don't copy wording exactly, and as he said, using the weight/price should be fine.
