I've got "JUR 2007, 166551" ("Sentencia de la Audiencia Provincial de Madrid, 
sección 13ª, del 16 de octubre de 2006" or "Madrid provincial courthouse 
(13rd section) ruling, 16th oct 2006"), regarding Ibercarta.

(FYI, the EU DB directive was implemented into spanish law circa 1998)

The ruling is brief on details regarding the DB directive "per se", but 
acknowledges that "the very delicate labour of data interpretation and 
recopilation" is what gives the work originality, and that originality grants 
the copyright protection.


Geez, I shouldn't be posting this on talk at . Is somebody ever going to 
follow-up this to legal@ ??
