</span>I suspect that point is, Ben, that you didn't need to. You've, in your<br>
mind at least, simply done your job and any collateral damage that you<br>
may have caused is none of your concern or responsibility, either<br>
morally or ethically.<br>
<br>
I suggest that in future when you write a story that utilises publicly<br>
available data, you don't simply screenshot and rejig the background.<br>
Redo the stuff entirely, that way sources may not get pissed off at<br>
their data being used for what they may believe be purposes for which it<br>
was not intended.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
