It depends. 

It depends on your view over the "copyrightability" of individual pieces of 
data.

If a singular piece of data is "copyrightable", then the 15-yeard-old database 
right expires, but the individual copyrights do not.

If a singular piece of data is not "copyrightable", then the data is basically 
in the public domain.
