My opinion is that the data should be only accessible to a limited number of 
persons with a password. We don't wan't commercial entities to spam our 
precious press contacts.

If I wan't press contact in France, I could e-mail you my request and you 
would send me back the data in a common format. That way, you can filter 
rightfull and wrongfull use of the database.

There are also some legal problems. In France, we have an anti-Big-Brother law 
and the creation of nominal database must be registered to a State Agency 
(the Commission Nationale Informatique et Libertés) and you must give certain 
rights to the person you register in your database. There are certain 
informations that you are not allowed to collect (except if your are the 
Police or have a special permission) like ethnic origin, religion, 
philosophical or political opinions, criminal record, Social Security number. 
But I guess, we won't collect these kind of information.

If the database is located in the US, I guess the law is more lenient.

Cheers,
Charles
