Your content, is not actually owned by you. Since any company (client) details you have is owned by the respective clients, it's automatically protected under copyright law and also the Data Protection Act 1974.

D P A prohibits the unlawful copying, deleting, alteration and destruction of data held on a computer.

Also, I would imagine that any would be directory/SE owners would:

A. Have gotten their data from elsewhere by now and

B. Use a feed from Google etc

I think your panicking about nothing. Even if they did steal your client's details, they could put it in a slightly different format, and there wouldn't be anything you could do about it.

You would have a hard time proving it anyway.
