Only relevant if they are actually duplicating the "data company's" database; which is not what web-scraping is. For example; creating a map from air photographs is not "duplicating" another geo coded database. The geo data exists independently of any map. "Database rights" are not the same as "data rights", and if your "database" is inadvertently and routinely recreated as by product of other processes, then "database rights" can not apply. Otherwise we are in absurd world. (In this absurd world, a phone book company could charge license fees to everyone with a phone because their phone books would necessarily contain a subset of the global phone book.)
