I personally have faced this challenge as I often rescue companies data (ETL) from the claws of shady people who attempt to leverage their closed source software to lockup the data. Often I use the ABI or API as published by there vendor or I just create a systematic scrapping process to map the data into a useable format for the clients new system. I am then often served with legal demands as they believe I've "Hacked" their systems or stolen their intellectual property.
