What is the name of your state? IL
I want to start a website that displays the contact information of the businesses in the area, like an online yellow pages. This includes name, address, and phone number. Is it ok to get that info from the phone book and publish it on my website without the company's permission? Contacting every company to ask for permission to display their contact info on my site would be too time consuming, but I cant see why any company wouldnt enjoy the extra exposure and the contact information is already publicaly available, but I just want to be sure.
Also, I want to display these pages in categories like a phone book does. And being that all this is coming from the phone book, will I have any problems with the company who publishes the phone book?
Thanks.
