Database rights

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_right

A database right is a sui generis property right, comparable to but distinct from copyright, that exists to recognise the investment that is made in compiling a database, even when this does not involve the "creative" aspect that is reflected by copyright. Such rights are often referred to in the plural: database rights.

How do database rights apply to SSB and/or other #p2p databases?

It would appear that the Trump administration is being sued for blocking critics on twitter

They argue that since the trump account is being used for official statements and public discussion, that blocking these people is a violation of their first amendment rights.

You can read the actual complaint here:

It's a complaint for "DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF" which means they want to court to say who is right (declaratory) and make trump unblock them (injunctive), i think.

sounds like a cool talk.
thanks to eff's prompting, as a u.s. person i called and left a voicemail message for my rep just an hour ago
