• Connected to the jurisprudence surrounding the copyrightability of a factual compilation, this text locates the footprints of the standard envisaged in a US Supreme court decision (Feist) in Europe. In particular, it observes the extent of similarity of such jurisprudence to the standard adopted and deliberated in the EU. Many a times the reasons behind law making goes unnoticed. The compelling situations and the history existing prior to an enactment helps in understanding the balance that exists in a particular legislation. While looking at the process of enacting the Database Directive (96/9/EC), the book reflects upon the concern that was expressed with the outcome of Feist decision in Europe.
