Would you say that publishing such data puts the MTA operator at a legal

  My understanding is that in some jurisdictions, the answer is "Yes."

  In Canada, it's legal to give a reference for an ex-employee which
says "he showed up at work drunk and naked, so we fired him".  In
other countries, it may not be legal to say that, even if it's true.

  There is a way around the legal issues.  Have a "de-list me" page,
just like the CBL does.  The key is that rather than pretending the
rentry under dispute doesn't exist, you mark it "de-listed at owners
request."

  Recipients can then choose what to do.
