You need to bark up the right tree for the right reason.

Ask your elected representatives to force the broadcasters to leave
people alone that fix their crappy guide.

NZ: http://reven.co.nz/post/whatever-happened-to-xmltvnz
A network sent a taken down order to all guides (and some others)

DE: http://wiki.tvbrowser.org/index.php/VG_Media
Stations have been trying to protect starttime and title in addition
to description and pictures, but they stepped back before it was tested
in court.

AU: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IceTV
A station took a guide to court for three years.

I can't speak for others, but I'm set back in developing my guide to
avoid stepping on any toes and making my hobby very expensive due to
legal costs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilling_effect_(law)
