whith all those recent changes, most countries copyright law gets
more and more absurd.
but i don't think disobedience is a solution
(except if you have enouth money to pay lawyers for all
court instances to defend your position)

facts are still not copyrighted. but in the end it's the
courts interpretation whats "use of facts" and whats
"use of a compilation of facts" (database copyright)
