Well, agreement is overstating it I guess. I am of the opinion that most data in our database does not merit a copyright, and that claiming to have a copyright where you are not sure you have one is morally questionable. If I were in the mood for a fight I'd tell you that spreading spurious copyright claims puts one on the same level as people like scientology or record companies. But I'm not today.
