I just realised that I misread your question slightly... The correct answer is of course that on their own there is no difference between the two. The problem arises once you copy a few facts, then I copy a few, then Fred copies a few, then Jim, then... At some point we have, between us, copied a "substantial extract" at which point the database right kicks in.
