In Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Telephone Service Co.,9 the Supreme Court
for the first time squarely addressed the issue of the degree of creativity
necessary to sustain a copyright in a compilation of factual material. On the
immediate issue before it, the Court held that a directory containing an
alphabetical list of telephone subscribers, together with their towns and
telephone numbers failed to satisfy the constitutional standard of originality
necessary for copyright protection. In doing so, the Court engaged in a
fundamental reexamination and reformulation of the concept of originality
applicable to all works of authorship, not merely those consisting of
compilations of factual material. Feist provides a new basic starting point that
promises to have a broad impact on not only the concept of originality, but on
the underlying jurisprudence of copyright
