In Australia in Telstra won a lawsuit against people OCR'ing the street
directory and selling white/yellow pages on CD. For all intents and purposes
Telstra owns the copyright on all Australian White/Yellow page directories and
now Telstra is a publicly listed company.
Also in Australia it's not free to list in the yellow pages for anyone, it's
free to be listed in the white pages though I think.
There are third party companies that offer local area yellow pages, they're
cheaper to list with because they don't have the same critical mass, or mind
share as the regular yellow pages has.
