Key Principle

Originality for copyright subsistence and infringement requires independent intellectual effort directed to the form of expression of the work, not mere 'sweat of the brow' labour in collecting facts; reproduction of facts such as time-and-title programming information, where any expression copied results from constraint rather than authorial effort, does not reproduce a substantial part of a compilation.
