Both the UK "sweat-of-the-brow" and the Norwegian (and Dutch?) protection of a large number of facts _might_ be invalid after the database directive.

This has, as far as I know, never been tested in a court case, and as such does little more than add tp the confusion surrounding database rights. - Gustav
