You say. Me, I feel that this has been a complete waste of everybody's time. People who know copyright have generally erred on the side of excluding the list *in its entirety* as being covered by compilation copyright, just like the AFI 100 lists which have recently been removed following almost identical discussions, and the balance is philosophical argument about whether we believe it *should* be copyrightable.
The ironic thing is that if the show considered it significant and put it on their website, the copyright violation would e unambiguous, so the only reason the argument exists at all is because the show considers it too trivial to post on their site.
