1Opinion of the Court
BIRCH, Circuit Judge:
I. INTRODUCTION
In this appeal, we must decide whether acts of copying infringed the compilation copyright registered in a “yellow pages” classified business directory. The parties have stipulated that the directory, which is a typical yellow pages directory, qualifies for compilation copyright protection. Thus, we are called upon to apply Feist Publications, Inc. v. Rural Tel. Serv. Co., 499 U.S. 340, 111 S.Ct. 1282, 113 L.Ed.2d 358 (1991), which addressed copyright protection for a “white pages” telephone directory, to resolve the infringement claims presented to us…
