Calculating damages would be a problem since these are based on loss of revenue. Seeking statutory damages would be more practical, and one would then argue that each page which they copy is a separate violation.
The other thing to remember is that a copyright must be registered before one files a suit. There should be an active program to ensure that the copyrights on the database are regularly registered.
