Is flashscore.com data copyrighted?
<p>I have read that sports results can not be copyrighted since they are facts. But i've read the terms of <a href="https://www.flashscore.com/terms/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.flashscore.com/terms/</a> , where it says:</p>
<p>Intellectual Property
Without prior authorisation in writing from the Provider, Visitors are not authorised to copy, modify, tamper with, distribute, transmit, display, reproduce, transfer, upload, download or otherwise use or alter any of the content of the App.</p>
<p>If i wanted to post for example this data on my website:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.flashscore.com/match/4Qrjz25m/#/match-summary/point-by-point/0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.flashscore.com/match/4Qrjz25m/#/match-summary/point-by-point/0</a></p>
<p>and use my own design and everything, just the match data would be stolen from here. Is this the violation of copyright?</p>

<p>No copyright does not protect facts, and sports results are facts. In the US that would end the matter. But this site is in the EU, and EU law also includes a &quot;database right&quot; that is separate from, but closely related to copyright. That will, in some cases protect <strong>collections</strong> of facts. Reproducing an indiviual match report is not copyright infringement, reproducing a sizable set of reports may violate the database right.</p>
