Earlier today the Court of Justice of the European Communities (ECJ) <br> pronounced judgment in Case C‑304/07, Directmedia Publishing GmbH v <br> Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, a reference from the <br> Bundesgerichtshof, Germany, for a preliminary ruling on database rights <br> and the meaning of Article 7 of Directive 96/9 of the European
