This is a great question. Thus far I thought, that the content that is publicly available without any limitation (e.g. membership access), can be scraped by anyone. You can take a look at hiQ Labs vs. LinkedIn [1]. LinkedIn's public data was scraped by data analytics company, the ruling was against LinkedIn. I also think that the use case matters, I don't republish their content on the site, but merely provide it via API. Technically, it could be argued, that they could get this data themselves, but it is easier for them to use a service similar to this one to simplify things.

LinkedIn did not owe the data (it was users').
In your case, you are reselling copyrighted product.
Of course you can scrape. It does not mean you can distribute this.
