Can you enforce copyright on your internet clicktrail?


Just out of curiousity, if a person chooses a personal set of web content and accounts, what would prevent them from exerting copyright on those who would repackage and sell their personal, habitual choices of clicktrail?

A clicktrail is not copyrightable - it's just data generated as a byproduct of web browsing. Only creative works[1] are covered under copyright law[2].
