> Fine then. Say I went through Star Wars and counted how many blue pixels there were in each frame and published a list of the counts. Would you claim that list would be infringing?

If you were instructed to counted blue pixels by somebody who used your lists for a SaaS product which could generate high fidelity representations of Death Stars, wookies and Harrison Ford (someone else probably counted the other colour pixels!) every time a customer of theirs typed in "Star Wars", quite possibly.
