HR 3261 and the ownership of facts

Had a quick look at the EU directive which definitely does cover copyright on databases. The owner of the copyright is the person or persons who created the database. I'd consider adding a record as part of the creation and so holding part of the copyright (but IANAL). So could this have prevented cddb going proprietry? Just a thought.
