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
