Re: Copyright on 'non-creative' data?

Also, note that at least Australia and England extend copyright protection 
to "industrious collections" (i.e., 'sweat of the brow' databases such as 
white pages). See, e.g.,

in Australia - Desktop Marketing Systems Pty Ltd v Telstra Corporation 
Limited 
(http://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/disp.pl/au/cases/cth/FCAFC/2002/112.html?query=%7e+desktop+marketing)

in England - see many English cases cited in Desktop Marketing
