This use case seems very similar to a search index (aka google) type use case. Crawling and indexing vs scraping and storing, and then publishing in a searchable format for end users to utilise? Surely there's plenty of precedent for this?

It is, but arguably it's closer to the Google News model (in that more than just the titles are shared) which recently saw some pushback in the EU [1]

In general, if the data owner says you must take it down, you rarely have a leg to stand on unless you can claim some kind of protected use (e.g. reporting or criticism)
