Information held in electronic databases not property which can be
possessed, rules UK court

The judges said that whilst it is possible to exert control over electronic
information it is not possible to gain possession of it. The distinction
was drawn in a case concerning a dispute between a publisher and an IT
supplier <http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2014/281.html>.

Magazine publisher Datateam Business Media Limited (DBM) agreed a contract
with Your Response Limited (YR) to outsource the management of its database
of subscribers. YR was given access to the database so as to perform its
management duties.
