RE: Copyright [was RE: [ga] New TLD White Paper released]
Just a minor observation to that regard; for copyright purposes, the phone
book is not a database, it's a directory.

Asunto: Copyright [was RE: [ga] New TLD White Paper released]
I seriously doubt that US law would find a copyright interest in a TLD
database, as it doesn't find it in the phone book.
I am unaware of any published decisions relating to TLD databases
elsewhere, and would welcome references to them. Other countries are more
friendly to a claim of 'compilation copyright' so it's certainly possible
that such decisions exist.
