Where would this be significantly different? For T&C to be valid, you'll have to agree to them before using the service. Since you generally can't know, much less agree to, the T&C of a website before using that website, you have a chicken & egg problem where the law tends to come down on "these T&C aren't binding" imho.
You're right about the re-publishing though. Storing is likely a different issue, even browser-caching is storing; iirc there were court decisions in Germany that essentially argued that even having data in memory is creating a copy.
In the EU there is the concept of ‘database rights’ which protects your investment creating and publishing large datasets. This legislation has nothing to do with site T&Cs.
