de minimis is applicable in cases where copyrighted content is unimportant 
addition to
work

it certainly does not apply in case where you copy solely that content

For example de minimis apply if you take photo and there is a movie poster in 
the
background.

It stops to apply once you crop to show solely that copyrighted poster.

"data is low quality" is not waiving copyright.
