The full scrape you did — is it something you can share? I'm wondering if there's some way to use it to... idunno, do something. Worst case, maybe it could be used to create a search engine that could find the metadata for a given URL of an image that was on the account.
If we can't get Flickr to undo this, I'm trying to think of other places that might be able to host the data (would need the images, too, though), and already have the necessary software for an image collection that big. Thoughts?
