What is the name of your state?I am in Missouri. My question is this.
I am planning on publishing an ebook with nutritional data including the carbohydrate counts of various brands of beer. I would like to use the nutritional data listed in another publication. The publication says it's copyrighted however I have a difficult time believing that it's possible to copyright nutritional data such as a listing of the carb counts of various brands of beer or wine. I could believe that it's possible to copyright the layout or design of the data and possibly any text related to the listing of the data. What do you think? I don't want to get sued by anyone. It's my understanding that recipes also can not be copyrighted. Is this true? If so, how much less can nutritional data relating to a food or beverage?? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
