This is a great service you provude and for you to be threatened with legal action is totally unfounded. I can not understand why your service is a breach of copyright, maybe OCC should chill out and get with it and not be so condemning. Keep up the good work! I am thrilled that the site is back online.

Anyway, hopefully the legal matter gets resolved quickly, the OCC have stated for a number of years that the information they provide is not for reproduction unless explicitly granted, so you probably need to make sure it's all above board so the link can continue. Boring legalities, but a fact of life unfortunately seeing as they do compile the chart itself. Keep up the sterling work, Ross.

What about putting "This info is for entertainment use only etc etc". Might that help matters? Just read the post.

It really is fascinating to see chart runs from the 80's of my favourite artists/songs. The time when a signle would enter the charts and actually climb up to the top ten then go down steadily....ahh those were the days. Kindest Reagrds, Tayyab Hi,

Polyhex takes data published in one form, analyses it and produces it in another form. The OCC email was IMO a try-on, maybe because they are planning something similar. But to say Polyhex is breaching copyright is like saying a football fan is doing likewise by publishing results from 1968. And the fact that you claim that Polyhex is "breaking the law" suggests to me that your legal mind does not comprehend the difference between criminal conduct (theft) and a civil claim (which is what OCC would claim). Even if you use someone else's copyright material you are not breaking the law. @Legal Mind: where is the breach of copyright?
