At least in Germany, only natural persons can ever have copyright on anything (it's not called copyright here, it's called Urheberrecht, rights of the creator; of course the creator can always give someone else an exclusive license but the root of the right remains with the natural person). So that would make sense. On the other hand, database rights can, and usually are, accrued by corporations and not individuals...
