As an example, is Netflix's collection "private"?

If yes, would it still be if they charged only $0.01 for it?

If yes, would it still be if the price was $0?

It seems silly to me to have the "rules" depend upon the price.

The rules depend on whether something is copyrightable or not.

Movies are copyrightable.

Compiled catalogs of personal information are not (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_Publications,_Inc.,_v._R...).
