Typically, the source of the data controls the copyright. For example, when a journal search turns up an article from the Lancet, the Lancet still holds the copyright on the article.

Some data generated and/or collected by the federal government may not be subject to copyright. For example, geospacial data collected by NASA is not protected by copyright; however, a private company can arrange the data in a way that may be copyrightable.
