The Federal Court of Australia ruled there was no copyright in the printed editions of the yellow pages and white pages. The decision was appealed and the Full Bench of the Federal Court upheld the previous decision. I think that effectively places the yellow pages printed edition in the public domain and the information can be used by anyone for any purpose. As far as I know the decision did not apply to the yellow pages or white pages websites.
