Since the "collectee" was WorldStream, who was the legal custodian of the servers, they got implied consent.
Yours is a bogus argument, anyway. In countries with stricter privacy laws even the owner of a server can not offer consent for a third party to abuse private information. It comes down to what was BREIN's intent with the information they had in their possession. That's worthy of looking into, but unless they specifically collected or disseminated that information they broke no law.
