I don't think that the issue was ever mentioned by anyone. In cases like [[A History of the World in 100 Objects]], [[Our Top Ten Treasures]], and [[Britain's Secret Treasures]] the lists are notable and of public interest because they have been featured in TV programmes, and it is impossible to write an article on the subject without giving the listed objects. To not list the items would be an extreme disservice to our readers, and would not be any benefit to the original compilers of the lists. Personally, I think that in such cases and for 100 women where no-one is claiming the list as their intellectual property we should not be overzealous in protecting imaginary copyright concerns. I hope that for 100 women common sense will prevail over legalistic arguments.
