Game records may not be copyrightable, but collections of game records may
be. And for databases created in the European Union, the sui generis right
of the European Database Directive applies independent of copyright (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_directive). Game records in the
collection you mention were taken from GoGoD and SmartGo without permission.

GoGoD (http://www.gogod.demon.co.uk/) has over 42,400 professional games in
SGF format that you can use for data mining.
