PhoneBook readings

I thought these readings were quite interesting and I wonder how far people have gone in ripping facts from other sources. Could I buy an encyclopedia, rip all the facts from it and post them online for free? At first when reading Feist v. Rural, I was on the side of Rural, until I realized that they were trying to monopolize yellow page services. Yet I feel like the ProCD v. Zeidenberg seemed overboard, I could not imagine ProCD feeling happy to let users take the information it worked to aggregate. Has there been any replacement for the ‘Sweat of the Brow’ that was struck down by Feist v. Rural?
