The Gollum of information

When the administration makes data available to the world through a website, and somewhere in the website they offer: for ad-hoc files, please contact..., what I would never expect is to have to wait 7 days for a  negative answer.

The database has been built up with public information ( elections ) paid with public funds. How can they consider themselves as the owners of the information ?

Is it possible that they have never heard about the society of knowledge and sharing information?

This becomes a personal war. I will be the winner. Their only option is When, but they still don't know it.

Information is preciousss, is mineeee....
