What does that mean? Copyright is not universally valid? Even Iraq<br>
has copyright now. May not be universal, but 99.9% of the world has<br>
copyright.<br>
<br>
Yes, there are some court cases that say that there isn't copyright in<br>
phone books. But, correct me if I'm wrong, there are none that say<br>
there isn't copyright in electronic maps.<br>
