I find this a tricky case. If you take the effort to create a very useful website, shouldn't you have the right to set down some rule for it? No says google, copyright trumps it. We are allowed to take all your stuff and put it on a competing website (our own). I wonder how this would fare under European database law. Database law give protection against wholesale copying of a website, even if copyright would not be an impediment.
