I get your sentiment, but there is a big difference between that information being publicly available somewhere and someone building a centralized private database of it. At least, IF you assume that e.g. "database copyright" serves a valid purpose, then you could make a similar case here that the collection of all these data points is qualitatively different from collecting any single data point. Note: I used a capital "IF" up there because I do have issues with database copyright. But that's the world we live in...
