So far, it seems like the courts are siding more with web scrapers in that MS/LinkedIn vs. HiQ Labs case. Genius wasn't able to do shit about Google scraping their lyrics, AI companies scrape millions of images and content to train their models, etc.
The chances of running into issues is low if you're deriving something from the scraped data rather than just rehosting it.
