Where would it be hosted so that Conde Nast lawyers can’t touch it?

What would they say? It’s information that’s freely available, no payment required, no accounts to simply read it, no copyrights, where’s the legal in hosting a duplicate of the content?

Oh I agree with you, friend. The problem is that they’ll say that they’re losing ad revenue. So they’ll try and sue, even if they’re in the wrong.

Fine, decentralize it then. And fuck your ad revenue, nobody likes you, Spez!

It might fall under the same concept that recipes do - you can’t copyright a recipe, but a collection of recipes (such as a book) is copyrightable.
In any case, they have a lot more money to pay lawyers than you or I do, I’ll bet, so even if you are right, that doesn’t mean you’ll have the money to actually win.

So distribute it and n a fault tolerant way. They can’t sue all of us.
