Considering that their entire business model is "selling this data" then this data is actually needed for the functioning of the service.

I don't know that this invalidates mtgx's general point. Right now, data brokers have effectively zero liability, but we don't treat other companies dealing with dangerous or toxic materials the same way. If a company handling money or munitions left their doors wide open, we wouldn't defend their gross negligence, we'd hold them accountable.
