Wow! What you can do with the Internet when you know how to use it.

Why would the Postal Service put a copyright on it?
Isn't this public information?
I would think that the Postal Service would WANT us to look up ZIP
codes and get them right to make their lives easier. Do they sell
the printed book of zip codes? (We have one in our office I use,
but it never occurred to me to ask how we got it.) Couldn't a
company buy it and scan it (sounds like that would be illegal, but
how would they be caught and what would they pay if they were
caught?). My greatest concern is, "why isn't this public
information?" Do you have any ideas?
