Letter to the SGAE Malpensar

The other day I wanted to create a web service, which would provide me with some data from a website, to obtain this data in the Windows Phone 7 mobile phone.

Well, the page from which it obtained this data specifies that it has a license from the SGAE for said content, providing a license number.

To make sure that everything was 100% legal I wrote to the SGAE asking where I could check the license number, to know what is allowed to do with these files and what is not, that is, I simply wanted to know the terms of said license.

I do not have the exact text of the question, but it was just that.

This was the answer I got:

The consultation with id xxxxxxx has closed with the following response: Dear Rubén, Thank you for contacting SGAE. After receiving your request, we would like to inform you that you can redirect your suspicions of illicit activity by some type of establishment, premises or business to our Department of Contracting and Licensing - Public Communication at the following email: iiglesias@sgae.es Thank you in advance for your interest, receive a cordial greeting.

IT’S INCREDIBLE, I have no suspicions, I simply wanted to know the terms of the license, so as not to exceed it, not to become their scapegoat, I will never cease to be surprised by these people and their eagerness to collect.
