How does this work for data brokers? For example, if a data broker legally collects the data in the US, then sells it elsewhere, where it could not be legally scraped?

I think that generally if the customer hires you for something that is legal in general in their country, like price comparison, that they're fine if you employ means that wouldn't be legal for them, such as automated scraping, as long as it's legal for you.
