becasue after they did it everyone put roadblocks in place to prevent anyone from doing it again so even if you believe its fair use (I happen to think it is clearly a transformative work thus clear on copyright grounds) you still have to acknowledge the practical issue that its simply easier to pay for access to newly data.
