No.  Copyrights never cover information, only expression.  If they covered
information, journalism and scholarly research would be impossible.  

It would be a good idea to cite the source for any information that
you get from only one place, for two reasons: to credit the
originator, and to cover yourself in case it turns out to be
erroneous.
