For clarification, it is European Union Directive 96/9/EC on the legal protection of databases that creates two rights:
(i) Copyright in the compilation databases which, "by reason of the selection or arrangement of their contents, constitute the author's own intellectual creation" are protected by copyright as collections (ii) Database (sui generis) right database rights specifically protect a "qualitatively and/or quantitatively substantial investment in either the obtaining, verification or presentation of the contents" For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_Directive Rob On 18 May 2010 12:49, Seb Bacon <[email protected]> wrote: > Does it seem wrong to anyone else here with better legal understanding > than me that the fixtures list is copyrightable?
