I'm a layman;
Isn't the distinction here that we are not talking about an original
contribution, made by the author, but with an artifact that is nothing
more then an aggregation of public available material? In the
jurisdiction i live under (The Netherlands), this will expose you to
legal actions. If you want to know more, look at the 'Knipselkrant-arrest'.
