In many countries, making a telephone book without the explicit
agreement of the individual whose data you are sharing *is* indeed
illegal. (And if it should turn out that the individual didn't really
understand what they were signing when they signed that they're ok with
a telephone book entry, then their signature isn't worth a lot.)
