It's trivial to fix that - the exterior of GP's house then. That's available for public viewing; is intended for it, but is private property. If you monetise livestreaming it and describe it in your ToS, GP can't repaint the front door, or get new windows? Or perhaps slightly less contrived: If I publish a monthly lowlights reel of my favourite sports team as a podcast discussion on where they can improve in all their lost games, and then they suddenly go on a winning streak for >1month so my USP is gone and I have nothing to talk about..? |

In this case, it was rules that the public data is available. It was a good faith contract on the part of HiQ to assume they could collect public data from a public website.
It would not be a good faith contract to assume you could control the paint colors on a property you don't own.
It seems to me that the interference ruling was wholly independent on deciding that what hiq was doing is legal.
