AA is clearly talking about their hosting, and their hosting costs. Not about owning the data. "Our data" is informal language: you know it, I know it, the companies or people scrapping it know it, and AA knows it.
Why pretend otherwise or build strawmen? This is about hosting costs, not about copyright or IP. AA never claimed what they do isn't illegal.
Ridiculous. This isn't a court and we're not arguing a legal point, we're arguing the use of "ours" in a non legal context.
I didn't even claim the hair splitting was "obscure", I claimed this is a hair that doesn't need splitting -- in fact arguing it's not obscure, just pointless to argue this.
