Anyone who cares, here's a tip. Go find somewhere that has Yellow Pages listings (and if all else fails your local telco is required by law to sell it to you), and guess what, in its basic form they're not copyrightable. Address plus name plus phone number, even when combined with a business category, is not original enough to be afforded copyright protection. So copy them. I know that's hard to believe because the US has such a low bar for copyrightability, but there have been very specific court cases that I commend to you in order to check it out for yourself.
