1) Until this year, Somalia did not even have a stable government. According to many reports, it still does not have a stable legal system. It's not hate, it's a simple statement of Somalia's current state.

2) You need to reread your SCOTUS case law. The specific selection, arrangement, and presentation of basic facts is copyrightable. This is why phonebooks and whitepages are copyrightable, even if the information they contain is not.

The key here is the selection of fields--is it sufficiently unique that it would not be the most efficient and obvious way to present such data? With a phone book, you have few fields: name, phone number, and possibly an address. There are only so many ways to select, arrange, and present such information.

With rental postings, there are many more fields. The selection of fields itself can be considered unique, as they tend to very from site to site; address is really the only constant. Consequently, the phone book cases are not strong protections for Padmapper and 3taps. Thus, if 3Taps' api makes available all of Craiglists' fields for copying, that will probably be enough for a violation of Craiglists' license.
