This kind of thing goes back to '91 at least with Feist v. Rural when Feist copied telephone entries from Rural's directory which included some fakes.

Which means that if you went to a bunch of trouble to license a ton of local phone directories, as you’d have to do back then, in order to create a national listing, your achievement would be worth exactly nothing. While I’m grateful to the Supremes for the decision as a dev, I can certainly empathize with Rural (the losers) as a businessperson.
