Id go with that one As a service have the data available for purchase as that will also give you a legal edge In regard to a product that’s available for purchase

And that MAY actually keep them safe from some legal action... Remember, that unless the copyright states that you can't use it on any other website without prior written notice (or something) then people can use the data and say "it's from their site"... That's not illegal (so long as it's not a blatant copy of a significant portion of the data)... I would suggest telling them to stop scraping the site, or charging them for content... (which may actually be a better way round for everyone!)
