Not to disagree with BigDave, whom I have the utmost respect for after reading his posts for the past several months, but it depends on your interpretation of the term "economic value".

Economic value generally refers to something a competitor could use for fiscal gain. Not a bunch of webmasters trying to make a buck on the internet. There's no value to Y or MSN in that paper that I can see. There was much more useful information in the papers that Google itself disclosed several months back.

The secret recipe to Kentucky Fried Chicken is a trade secret. An employee manual from KFC telling employees they should say good evening when someone walks through the door is not.

I'm not a lawyer and I don't "know" nearly as much as most of the webmasters on here, but i do know something about busines.

Anyway, the mod asked not to go down this path so I'm done.
