With a simple copy and paste of this info to another public domain, yes this does in fact break the law and put you at risk. These companies that have allready posted this information have "click here to agree to terms" contracts on file to post this information, you do not. Simple as that. Not trying to give you shit over it, just letting you know what you dont understand so that you dont continue to do it and be in a world of shit over it. As it stands right now this user allready has legal right to press lawsuit if he has the resources or time and energy to do so. Its not worth the measily $500.
I would say you are wrong. Check for example alexa.com domain records. By default it shows whois info for each and every domain. By your theory a lot of people could sue them.
