On being able to copyright phonebook listings:
"An Icelandic white pages listing is original. Traditional names and the uses of patronyms and matronyms result in many identical names. A substantial portion of the male population is named Magnus Magnusson. So to identify subscribers, Icelandic phone books often include creatively chosen personal information (Magnus Magnusson, the golfing fan, drives an old Volkswagen beetle.)"
