I'm not sure it has to do with "non-substantial amounts of data". But
business websites publishing their own address or list of addresses is
reallly intended to be shared and republished everywhere. It would be
different if the website is e.g. a directory of all shops of a given city
and their opening hours. Even if you extract only the pharmacies/drugstores
and it is a non-substantial amount of data, you will copy their work of
collecting this information.
