> But Y is not copyright. In a similar vein, phonebooks. The answer... is complicated. There is a thing called "database rights", which as you might guess is a mess. The US argues that there is no right as you've simply compiled information (see Feist Publications, Inc., v. Rural Telephone Service Co., and that's why I used phonebooks as an analogy) while Europe (not just EU, even UK and Russia) do recognize database rights. Even skipping about it, Pantone named them, which could give them copyright protection in the US (and other countries without specific database rights).
