It's because you're gathering data to encourage others to use it for nefarious purposes. It's not just innocently looking up their email or whatever.
If it is all publicly available, it should be legal to repackage and release the info. As long as there is no call to action.
I'm pretty sure intent is part of the laws that exist. If you're just collating information, I don't think there's an issue. When you're posting that information in a forum to identify the person and send people to harass them, that's where you usually cross a line. It isn't the gathering of information that's important. It's the intent to cause harm.
