French copyright, a subgroup of Intellectual Property, is enshrined in the Constitution. It applies automatically, without any formality, from the creation of an original work.

From the moment you create a work of the mind:
1. You immediately acquire the status of author, and the panoply of rights that go with it, no deposit or mention is necessary
2. These rights are made up of two families: moral rights and economic rights.

E.g. moral rights allow you to complain if someone tampers with your work in an unfair manner.

IIUC people had allowed access to their email contacts, but I NEVER DID. Yet I had figured out about a year ago that Facebook had stolen my phone/sms metadata since they spotted as "Suggested friends" 2 persons I had only contacted by phone/sms on an Android phone (I don’t even know their email). I am talking about people living around Torino, Italy, an area with a population of several millions.

I barely ever check Facebook notifications, however I recently adopted Opera Mini on my mobile phone. This app is preset to show Facebook notifications. That’s how I discovered that a person whom I only contacted by phone and SMS (no mention of them on any file of my computers or tablets) was suggested to me as friend. I always carefully avoid to give access to my address book, and anyway this person is only on my phone (used for tethering).
