  That case is hardly applicable. It's a copyright claim on phone book entries, otherwise knows as a table of data. You would still have to cite your sources, even if you copy the data. And any annotations are not part of the dataset. These annotations would ble equivalent to the article text, which was copied pretty much word for word. Here in Norway they would expel you from all higher education for a minimum of 12 months for such plagiarism.
