A completely random, incomplete thought from my unposted archives: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_book

“In 1991 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled (in Feist v. Rural) that telephone companies do not have a copyright on telephone listings, because copyright protects creativity and not the mere labor of collecting existing information.”

Seems like that should somehow apply to Facebook.
